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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Adapting a mikuni to a 76 wr360

Well, I now have spark, now it is time for gas. I purchased a mikuni tm38 round slide carb to put on my wr360 but it looks like fit is going to be an issue. My intake has four Allen head screws so the adapters I bought through hp will not work as it only has two bolt holes and will in no way fit. It looks like my intake tube is too long also and the breather diameter is off too.
Has anyone here done this conversion? I'm thinking of cutting a half inch or so obff the bikes intake, using a piece of hose to mount the carb to the inlet and then somehow adapting the air intake on the carb to the air box.
Any help would be appreciated.
Am I missing something?
 
I at one time had the round slide micuni carb on a wr 360 I was calling a 1976 but not exactly sure what it was. Look at this thread http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/1976-wr-360-gurtner-carb-issue-help-please.19015/#post-165798 you can see I posted a picture in that thread with what was on the 360 on the right and some similar parts from an air cooled 430 I used in my conversion. The rubber piece you bought probably will work in that application. Is the round slide micuni the longer version like came on the dual shock bikes or the shorter one like came on the mono shock bikes?

Go to page 5 and click on a thread by metalhof called Can't Start Restored '74 250 Mag . On the second page of the thread we discuss a mikuni conversion . Might be of some help for your '76 . Good luck . It was worth the effort on my bike .
 
The adapter for a 390 should fit on the cylinder side, Husky offered a free replacement Mikuni for the Gurtner in 76-77 . You may also need a different boot for the airbox side.
