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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1967 cr250

Hi everybody, I'm after some help with a long project which I left in storage for too long.

In 2003, I purchased what was allegedly a 1967 CR250............. in a box, in fact, several boxes. I'd been racing a WR360 for a year and scoured magazines and websites for the CR, and in 2004 raced in the Elsinore GP. Long story short, the old CR250 got stored and I emigrated to New Zealand in 2009.
Well the wr360 came with me and the CR stayed in a friends garage until now.

I'm looking for any workshop manuals and information on this model. I've been able to find info for 1968 onward and wonder if this would be the same?

Visiting family and friends in the UK, Ive spent a week and she is now out of the box and rolling, although cobbled together so I can ship her and continue her rebuild in New Zealand. There are plenty of missing parts and incorrect parts which has caused many skinned knuckles and quite a lot of blood, ending on the shed floor.

Any links to parts or manual would be great.

Any help with information would be appreciated, and I'll post pictures as we go, like i did with my Wr360 rebuild a couple of years ago.

Cheers Beau

He might have what you need.
Sweet old scooter ya got post up some pics
If you give him the engine and frame numbers he could probably tell you where it came from who bought it originally.
Great Luck
 
That's awesome, I'll get onto that when I collect it from the storage in the next few weeks. I have two Bing carbs that don't match and looking through the information it looks like I have a 1967 frame and a 1968 motor. What's weird is that the head had a twin spark mod? I've never seen one of these before. It took me all day to get the motor into the frame for shipping later this month.
 
Has anyone else seen this twin spark head modification before? I was told this was a Works head mod, but that could just be a tale spun by the guy I bought it from. Have posted a few pictures for your amusement

I don't think that's the correct head for that year I could be mistaken but that's a factory second hole.
You got a number on that engine should be stamped in the I believe right case right on the seam just in front of the upper rear mounting bolt
 
Mr Death is right plus pre 69 motors had the secondary ignition coil located in the ignition case next to the primary coil, the plug wire comes out of the ignition case, so there shouldn't be a secondary bracket under the tank. Looks like a mod has been made to the steering stop too. I'm not familiar with a factory twin plug head on a 250 oval case motor. I've seen a second plug added aftermarket but like Mr. Death said this head doesn't appear to be modified, it looks factory. Husky motors have serial numbers that describe the year.
