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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Stripped tank threads 1982 250 WR

The bottom half of the threads on the tank (where the petcock attaches) are stripped out. There are still a few good threads above, but not enough to secure the petcock properly. Has this happened to anyone else? Any tips on repair would be greatly appreciated!

I believe its a kind'a odd ball Thread. If a Tap won't clean it up to where You can use it then having it welded up and re Taped is probably best. Epoxy might work. There is a product called Belzona that would also work but its very expensive.
 
Use the type of tap that is fitted to the older plastic tanks , you can cot of the old tap thread and use the hole , a rubber washer with a steel washer and nut on the inside. Not easy to do but you wont need to do any welding!
