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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

PVLs are extremely easy to time since the rotor has no key. Put the engine at TDC, install the flywheel, roll the engine backwards the amount you want (I'd start at 2.2mm), line up the timing mark on the stator with the line on the rotor, button everything down. Thats it. The timing mark is a line molded into the stator, sometimes it is hard to see.

Thanks for that but which BTDC mark on the stator do I set it too? As there is several?
 
Which ever one the rotor goes towards after you find TDC and roll it backwards. The PVL stators are generic, they can be used or engines that turn in either direction. In a Husky, the stator should be installed with the "open" end on the right pointed down and the "closed" end that the wiring comes out of pointed up. Set TDC, roll the crankshaft backwards 2.2mm, line up the stator mark with the rotor mark and you are done.
