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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

XC 430 1981 Mikuni Carb

Ok, guys I need a little help.
I'm based in the UK and have a 1981 Husky XC 430. The Carb on the Bike simply says it’s a Mikuni KOGYO, and after reading through various literature I have worked out that it’s a 38mm round sided carb (which model i don’t know).

Here is the problem.
The Bike when it is ticking drips fuel from the Carb, likewise if I leave the fuel tap on it will flood the engine when the bike isnt running.
On inspecting the Carb I think it more than likely that the brass fuel intake needle and jet seating may be a little worn and therefore never fully closes when the floats lift the brass flap hits the needle.


Can anybody help me with exactly which type of carb I have (I think its standard) and where I can hold of a replacement needle jet and seat.

I have trawled the internet and not found anything as yet .

Many thanks

Steve.
