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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi Michel,
do you really use a 166 R-6 Needle jet ?
That´s very rich for this bike !

With the 6DH20 ( 3. clip position ) needle i use in my 430 max. a 166 R-0 ( by colder as 15° Celsius ) or a 166 Q-8 by warmer as 15° Celsius.
I live also in approximately 280 Meters high.
The rest is how following:
2.5 slide​
6DH20 3rd clip​
420 main​
45 pilot jet​
air screw 1,5 turns​

Michel, I'm still working on my jetting as the bike runs rich up to 1/2 throttle, I went from a 40 pilot to a 35 and will test it this weekend. The top end seems to pull well with the 430 main, but Nikel might be right, too rich, want to get the bottom end cleaned up before I start on the main.
