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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello all-was wondering if anybody has successfully installed a mikuni on a 1979 WR250? I would like to know what jets you used etc. I would appreciate any info or person that would give me the correct settings etc. Thanks Café Husky
 
you must have got an odd ball 79 should have had a mikuni as OEM the specs arnt listed in DB 7/79 but they are there for the 1980 5/80 MJ 430 NJ R2 JN 6DH3 PJ 45 slide 2.0 this ought to be close mains likely rich
 
sounds like someone stole the mikuni off of it. either way, yes you are on the right track putting a mikuni back on.
 
thanks! I got a bunch of cylinders with carbs. some 360's 250's etc.. Wasn't sure what was what!! I did find a Mikuni, took it apart and it is what you said. Thanks for such a quick response....:cheers:
 
it ez u jus gotta remember which issue u need crazy the info that used to be in DB wish it was that way today
 
I bought a 1976 360 WR and plan on bringing it back to life. It had little to nothing for compression so I pulled the top end off and found that the ring was way gone but no carbon at all. Someone has put a after market mikuni 38mm carb on and didn't jet it. It was jetted way lean. I got a 1st over piston and ring, will the jetting 78 250cr be a good starting point? Any help or suggestion would be greatly app. as I'll have a lot of question before this resto is done. Thanks
 
well i looked thru all 12 77 issues and all i got is a 77 390amx witch was A 430M Q-8 NEEDLE IN THE 4TH AND A 45PJ SORRY NOT MUCH HELP:excuseme:
