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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fuel Tap Help

AA Class
Getting ready to fire up the rebuilt motor on my semi-recently aquired 83 xc250. Cleaning the tank and fuel tap beforehand. Tank is the plastic version from an '84. When taking the fuel tap apart the washers of course fell out before I could see which way they went in. After cleaning I installed the tap lever on/off, then the fiber washer over it, then the metal wave washer, then the metal plate that attaches with 2 screws. Correct? Any one out that has reassembled one of these your advice is appreciated.

think thats right... mine leaks all the time, had 3 think plastic? washers. replaced them with a fuel proof (i love that) o ring and so far so good. aftermarket kato fuel tap will bolt straight on if you cant stop it pissing out everywhere
 
Thank Surprize. Tank is clean. I will mount the tap on the tank tomorrow and see if it leaks or not. By the way, I used Zep citrus cleaner to get the gunk out of the plastic tank. Works really well, and quick.
 
These acerbis fuelcocks are fairly cheap and readily available. I haven’t had much luck trying to fix leaky ones so simply replace them with a new one. Too risky to have fuel pissing out. Keep an eye on the plastic tube with filter mesh as the mesh can move and leave a gap where fuel gets in without going through the mesh.
