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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I just recently bought a 1984?, don't have the title yet Husky 250 2 stroke.

Needs some serious work I think. My friend who owned it before me took it to the dunes a few times with paddles and everything. He went a little too hard on it and I guess blew the motor.

He told me I need to strip it down, have it machined and get a new piston, re bore the cylinder etc. As well as fix the kick starter which has no resistance probably because the motor is broken?

I know trucks and diesels but no much about bikes, totally different ball game to me.

If someone can help me out. I'll post pictures of the progress and what needs to be fixed and possibly someone can get on and respond with advice and or words of wisdom to aid me in the project I am about to start on.


One last thing. The kicker is on the left side of the motor(bike). Is that a Swedish thing? Is there a way you ca convert it over effortlesslyto the right side like most other bikes? I owned a Yamaha before and it was totally different than this one!

Thanks for reading my post! Respond with help and or email me your advice.

I don't know much about those bikes, but will move this over to Vintage where you will get more responses.

Welcome! :cheers:

If you have a broken kick start pawl you won't feel any resistance. I really don't think you'll be moving the kicker to the other side either.
 
Thank you for doing that!
and yah, I see the issue with trying to move it.

I'm used to new bikes. This is going to be an adventure.
 
You'll get use to the left side kick sooner or later. I had a left side kick KTM took a little while to get the hang of it but not long. Nice ride!
