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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Replacement PVL coil for Motoplat

AA Class
Has anyone had any experience of using a coil made by PVL which they say can be used as a replacement for a Motoplat coil? I am rebuilding a Husky 390 with a Motoplat stator which seems to measure ok but I do not have a coil.

Motoplat coils appear on ebay every now and then but can reach quite a lot of money and there is always the chance that it will turn out to be unusable or cost a fortune to be replaired, so I have thought about using a brand new PVL coil.

Has anyone tried one of these coils? Or should I just forget the Motoplat altogether and save up for a bit longer for a complete replacement ignition system?

Thanks :thumbsup:
 
I'm in the same situation as you are. I've decided to install a fully programmable system that runs on battery until I can find some motoplat parts for a fair price.
 
It's the upper coil I need. I have the stator and rotor on the end of the crank, and it seems to measure ok according to the figures on various websites I have found.

Please see PM about your coils, thanks.
