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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I want to fit a decompressor to the head of my 87 430 because I lost some weight and it's too hard to start now .
Has anyone got anything to say about what grade of alloy would be better or worse to use to make the boss from ?
 
I recall that Tjiebbe Bruin (oops spelling) in Auckland could fit an automatic de-compressor to a Husky. I never spoke to him about it. I was told that he could start his 'customised' auto wearing sandals.
If memory serves me correctly he fitted the de-compressor to the cylinder (probably mid stroke) and a small tube went down to the crank-cases. The de-compressor was normally open and was closed off by the positive crank-case pressure once the engine was running.
Somebody told me that he used a unit off a lawnmower. If he is still in business it might mean shipping the whole engine to him for fitting - or he could give you instructions and you do it yourself.

The decompressor on one of my 430 ae is fitted on a cooling way.
There's a brass part that is screwed on the cylinder. The decompresseor is screwed on this part.
Must have a O ring between the the brass part and the cylinder.
The cooling way has moved on the left.
 
Well I went with the no welding option because I dont have one .
Through the side of the cylinder would have been preferable but this will work
