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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Just bought a 1987 430 wr from colorado and would like to start from stock at sea level jetting for the 38 mikuni any one here back east have one / or know a sea level set up Many thats to old husky chuck for my new toy great guy to deal with see you this summer
 
The bike came with a manual but unlike most things the spcecs aren't in the manual they came on a card.

If you go to the vintage tech reference section you can find a manual if you didn't get one made from paper. Look for this "Vintage Husqvarna 1981 thru 1988 Tech Data " and you can find where I snipped from.

I would assume that is how they were delivered I don't keep records of what is in mine. There are a few pages about jetting and how to adjust for altitude and temp in the manual. Where is Bayville?

Hi i have a 85 WR400 now 430WR ( not much different to 87) 38 mikuni at sea level, I have a 430 main,6DH20 needle on the middle clip (alter this up or down to stop the Blubbering), float level at 17-19mm. goes like a cut cat and starts in no more than 3 kicks hot or cold
 
this bike has had the pilot and main adjusted, nothing else.
do yourself a favor, leave the needle in the middle setting, and put sea level jets in, youll be fine.
that bike hasnt had any other mods, and is bone stock.
