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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Flatslide for a 84 WR250

AA Class
Doing some tuning on my "new" 84 WR250. Runs very rich, blubbery. Slide is worn badly and has been sanded (modified). First question is would I benefit from installing a new flatside carb? Performance/user friendlyness? Looked up the factory jetting and this is way leaner and still rich. I'm thinking it has worn needle/jet. Second question is what would be a acceptable compression PSI on this engine? I got 125psi with carb removed, engine warm. My 82 CR250 had 150psi cold, I checked it for a reference. Thanks in advance, Scott
 
yes, it's worn & probably a lot more. i too am looking into 38mm pwk keihin and spoke to the owner of carb parts warehouse in oh. he sets it up for the bike & type of riding and ships out w/some spare jets. $250+/-. rick horvat recommends him,, not just a parts seller
