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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

1984 WR400 jetting

I'm running a new Sudco 38mm VM with factory Husqvarna settings.

New ignition, starts first kick.

bike sounds 'fluffy' and feels it off bottom, but pulls fine on the mid to top.

Anyone have any experience with jetting 400s? Anyone had to make any changes from stock?

Bike is still raceable, but not right.

Considering going smaller on the idle jet but as its only a 35 already surely that's not an issue?
 
Thanks for the replies...

Slides are stamped (underneath) with the same marking and cutoff 'looked' the same. I suppose and hope if both old n new are stamped with same code then they should be!!??

Did drop the needle, didn't seem to help particularly. Its now in the center position.
 
the slide will be marked with a number, i.e 2, 3, 3.5, or so....higher the number, the leaner. just might want to verify you are starting off with same as stock i guess or at least know whats there...if its a 2 i bet its a tad rich perhaps. many 430 owners modified or replaced their 2.5 with a 3.0 with good results, including myself.
 
Justintendo - that's good info and from memory 2 does 'ring a bell'. I'm not home for a couple of days due to work but will check when I get there. The 2.5 and 3.0 slides sound interesting, thank you.
