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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Clutch Cover Rot Salvage Or Trash

2premo

2premo

Husqvarna
Pro Class
so I keep reading about some very creative repairs and some intrigue me
using fillers to repair case inserts at swingarm mount
read about people filling water pump cavities
so the question and hopefully get a thread with info started on repair
I was going through some early parts and found a clutch cover, the seal area is rugged
how would you repair this area, or,,,, should I just pitch it as planned

what disonny said. also ensure seal and bearing is round/true. use a gasket from an auto on WP impeller cover. was a rubber gasket and not an o ring. seals more better
 
Very repairable 2premo, my 86 barely had the bearing pocket, just enough to determine where the bearing needed to be, fixed with a 2 part epoxy similar to JB, lasted for the three years I owned it.
Swingarm sleeves, well you know my preferred fix for them......thank you for the good cases!
Tony.
 
that looks totally repairable to me. you might have to sacrafice a wp shaft seal to do it right though. i'd give it a go.

I mean, that cover is shot, package it up and send it to me! :rolleyes:
 
Don't trash it maybe a air cooled guy needs it for his bike? One mans trash is another mans treasure.
 
If the water pump area is corroded that bad as to where it can't be repaired why not make a plate to block off the pump area and install it on a ac engine? Then it has another life. I purchased Craig's new clutch cover and did just that. He was the only one with a clutch cover that was online at the time, I built a 83/250cr five speed. Parts is parts.
 
dug through my spares and found I had a good spare cover so don't need this, anyone interested in it?
 
there is a guy in aus making new covers for the water bottles so relax. he is on Ozvmx forum and works in foundary. has got his own stuff going on and made plenty of CR honda water pump clutch covers and all sorts of things. search castings on ozvmx and you will find his threads...
