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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Last of the big "to dos". Got new SEM stator and need timing specs.

Funny but no timing marks on imprinted on this stator but was able to do some outlining for the marks off the old one.

youll find the manuals in the Tech section..
if you look at the flywheel, you will see a small hole, that holes lines up with another hole in the stator.
they should set up just before TDC.
how i set them, is just as the piston starts the arc of TDC, right before it flattens out, is were i set mine.
makes then easy to start, and still have lots of power, without putting a hole in your piston.
 
oldhusky,
Thanks for the info. Out there in the shop all weekend piddling w/ the dang thing. Got a little spark but no start. Want to scream bloody murder. Saving the best (HA!) for last. I just knew the stator/timing/starting issue were going to be a MF.
Thanks again for the info, though.

SEM was known for having a weak spark.
i found it wild that they had 60 amp lighting circut, but a pisspour main..
