• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Had another fun ride at the North Atlantic XC series, this time at Stone Hollow just east of Pittsburgh PA. Once again Dave and his crew did a great job laying out the trail and making sure the guys all had a great time. The Final event for the series is Oct. 17th, the Johhny B Classic.....last chance to drag that old vintage bike out of the shed and dredge up some old memories!
Hope to see you there.

Yes, I went to a 35 pilot (from a 40) and reset the idle and she seemed to respond well. It sure seems to take forever to get the idle to settle down so I can get it in gear! it's really in my head as the competition is speeding away....I continued to have a water pump leak though, and will have to take a closer look at the housing.... maybe it's warped? the new gasket pushed out closest to the boot side of the pump housing. I inspected it very closely and didn't see any nicks or damage area, i'm somewhat puzzled.

Turns out that the housing was warped and allowing the new gasket to push out slightly when it tightened down, then would hiss coolant under pressure. The housing was decked on flat surface with sandpaper and seems to hold the gasket now when tightened. I'll try to get it out and test ride it to be sure it's fixed.

I use 3M weatherstrip adhesive to glue the flat rubber gasket to the aluminum engine cover, keeps it from slipping out. Try not to tighten too much that's how they get warped.

Good luck.
