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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

73 CR 400 Carb to Air Filter boot ?

Hello,
I am getting to know my new Husky its an 'Unridden since a rebuild' CR (see my Previous Post) and have come to the Bing 54 Carb and Air filter box sadly there is no rubber boot in between and they don't seem fit together in any way I can tell without some sort of bridge.
can anybody please enlighten me as to how they fit together ??
Also I ordered a new airfilter as there is nothing in the housing at all , and all I got was a circular piece of foam I was expecting a rigid filter can anyone point me towards a filter that wont get sucked into the carb ??
Thanks for the help so far,
Alfie

> There is a thick rubber ring that fits over the bell mouth of the Bing carb, and into the throat of the alloy air filter "horn". These are available from a number of suppliers here in the states.
> The Unifilter # NU-1001ST is a popular 2 stage foam filter for those bikes, it comes with a cage. K+N are also available, not sure of the part number.
> It's important to use the 3 alloy spacers that fit over the 6mm studs under the air filter cover to prevent over-tightening the 3 nuts and crushing the air filter cage.
If missing, they can be easily mocked up by cutting some metal tubing to an appropriate length. Stock ones are 14mm od and about 47mm long.
Depending on the width of the filter, at times I've spaced the cover out further using a 10mm (hex) nut on each of the 6mm studs as they thread into the air horn.
Speed and Sport here in the US has both the ring and the filter.
