• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Race Gas?

:confused:I was told by a Vintage husky mechanic that I should be running race gas like VP C12 in my 84 500 CR not to increase performance/power which it certainly does not need but to burn cleaner and not carbon up the piston/head. What some of your thoughts on this out there? What does everyone else run, race gas or pump gas? Todays pump gas does not last very long. Looking for some real stories from some real owners.

thanks

Jeff

Have you tried polishing the dome inside the head? mirror finish it.

Don't reflects more heat to dome of piston causes piston dome to over heat and possibly hole it. Polish dome of piston if you must polish anything. Later George
 
4 gal. of 100 octane leaded airplane fuel and 1 gal of 91octane unleaded=98.2 octane in my 78 390 with a thin base gasket-- runs clean.....airplane fuel is about the same price as 91 last time i got it!
 
Gas being a little pricy these days, I mix a 50/50 mix of VP110 and premium pump gas. My thoughts are you only need enough octane to prevent pre-denotatation. Been doing this for 2 racing seasons now.
no foul plugs and bike runs crisp.
