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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1976 WR 360 Gurtner Carb Issue.... HELP! PLEASE!

I just purchased a complete 1976 WR360 and have ran into an issue with the carb. While I was cleaning it I managed to break the pilot jet in half when I was resampling it... My main issue is that its a Gurtner 38mm carb, and I cannot find a pilot jet anywhere....

Would it be a better idea to just convert to a Bing model 54 or Mikuni? Is that a possibility?

Any help would be most appreciated as I am lost at this point.
 
dont muck around get the mikuni buy a new one already jetted save yourself heaps of money and heartache, i think thats Y all the later huskies came out with them on standard, cheers mate
 
Back when they came with Gurtners the dealers were swapping them out with Mikunis from Husky for free.
 
I found some reed cage bodies, Is yours like the one with the aluminum neck? I am pretty sure the one with the rubber part next to it is off an air cooled 430 and is probably better than using a rubber hose sort of method.

Not all round slide
(38mm) micuni carbs are the same length.

Yes! mine in the on the far right... The aluminum neck. It looks as though the one on the far left would do the trick. The OD on the Mikuni is 43mm. the gurtner is slightly larger, which allows it to be sleeved over the neck and clamped in place.

Are these yours????
 
Zburd... moved to the Vintage Left kicker Forum so that you will get more traffic.

Just use the inlet stub from a 390. Should bolt right up to the back of the reed cage. Use a new inlet rubber available from Mikuni dealers (try Sudco). If required, change the carb/filter boot for a new one (try Phillip). Again all 390 parts.
