    there are only Huskies!
    I love the spring covers, I might try & make 1 my self. The idea of bigger radiators could also help with my project.

    Does any one know of an after market ignition for a better power supply to run a radiator fan.
    Also does any one know of some sort of transmission cooler for the auto box as I'd like to find a way of cooling the trans.

    510 from Rik Smits.
    I've been told there's a car electric pump ( fuel ?) that is used as an oil pump.
    The radiator is on the left.

    You would need a filter as well, all the crap that goes round in an auto box would destroy a pump.

    I like the up-tite pump, and adding a filter would be a big plus. I finished disassembling the rest of the bike. The motor itself is questionable. The cyclinder and head had some rust and will need bored. The rod and crank feel good. The countershaft bearing is froze up and a few of the bearings are not very smooth. Looks like I'm going to use my spare motor. Sending the frame, swingarm, fork tubes, ect.
    off to get powder coated.

    Any body know why the over flows are like this?

    Stops the petrol running out on your garage floor I suppose.:D
    Seriously putting the hoses up like that defeats the purpose.
    They are both a air vent and a fuel disposal device.
    If the carb was to flood then the fuel level would be that much higher.

    I also used the longer 4-Stroke radiator on my Auto. Living in Arizona it does get a little hot here now and then. I also found that I needed to run a 50/50 mixture of Sunoco Race Gas (100-110 octane) with pump gas. The catch bottle is needed on the Auto and I used a 70% water and 30% coolant mix, as water is needed to cool the engine. I have put "catch" cans or overflow bottles on all of my water cooled bikes since my Auto days. This is a very easy fix that will help prevent your coolant from pouring on to the ground when you have a steamer or tea pot boiling during a trail ride. Hey if you add a fan to your bike it will even work better. Look at the Pro Circuit Team bikes, they run an over flow can on their Outdoor and SX bikes. My Husky Auto is gone, but my KTM has a Rekluse auto clutch and so will my next Husky. :banana:

    Looks great. Never thought of powder coating the swing arm.
    I have an 86 430 Auto. In the process of restoring, so I'm interested in your progress. Any more pics you can post?
    Thanks.

    Hi Everfree
    I see you have a 430 ae and a 500 ae.
    Can you tell us the difference of power, riding, sensations between the 2 bikes ?
    Any pics ?
    Thanks

    That picture reminds me of my 430WR 6 speed I had back in 87 ish. Stunning bike. I would have prefered an Auto, but never gave it a thought at the time.
    I still have fond (ish) memories of the Broadhembury enduro the weekend after I picked it up from John Deacon.

    I started another thread and posted some pics there with a quick write up.

    I like your posts on the AE and 510. Keeping them cool is a challenge. I also have seen similar ways to protect the case from clutch spring breakage.
    What type of fluid are you running in your AE? Some say fork oil, others say auto transmission fluid.
    Thanks.

    Nice 430. Just like they should look.

    What's your thoughts on the 430 AE?
    Thanks.
