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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

mikuni carb question

Husqvarna
AA Class
How do you know what size float needle and seat goes in the carb? I have a 430 with a 3.3. I took the carb off my 250 and it has the same thing. I can't say either carb is original to the bikes. Does anyone know where I can get info on what size my 76 cr250 would take?
 
Should work fine.
The thing that really matters is does it keep the float level high enough?
If you are riding on off throttle say in the woods where not going WFO for more than a second or 3. it doesn't matter. This type of riding your on the pilot jet,needle jet, 3/4 to WO is main jet this jet is the one that gulps fuel the others just sip.
But if in the desert or Baja and are pinned for miles you can starve for fuel, because the 2.0 won't flow as much fuel as a 2.5 or 3.0.
Later George
