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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

HELP - 1986 Husqvarna 430 AE - NO SPARK

Ok got the flywheel off and found this? Would this cause a no spark condition? No I didn't drop it on the floor.fly1.JPGfly2.JPG
 
yes, sem are known to lose their magnets...most common on the 4 strokes..looks like you caught it before it hurt the stator?
 
Do I need to replace the stator and flywheel or is another flywheel ok? Don't want to waste a brand new stator if a flywheel change is all it needs.
 
I would think just the flywheel would be fine, though I don't know if you can source them seperately. I remember racing the baja 1000 in the early eighties and I actually carried a complete spare ignition becuase they were so finicky! It had cost me a finish and about a 4 mile walk in the vegas 400 earlier in the year.
 
ive just changed from ATF to 30 wt as I am getting some clutch slippage.... (I need to adjust it in the cover) its a bit better but still letting go in top gear under load

the plates and springs are worn so I need to rebuild it later this year wit ha Barnett special.

Phil sells steel ones and I have fitted them to my UNPORTED 400 with great results.;)
 
you've hit the nail on the head, the clutch is fine until all that new port geometry starts working with the fuel mix and the clutch says "404.. page not found":D
 
ive put a few rides in with the steel plates and i love them so far! i can even start my 250 in gear! its so nice to have a working clutch. usually slipping off the line or under hard power are the plates and slipping under load at speed are almost always just bad springs..
 
OK turned out to be the orange wire to the CDI/coil had a break in it under the black cover. Fixed that and the bike is alive again.
Thanks for the advice and hijacking of this thread with all the "clutch" talk. :)
