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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

New to me '83 WR 430 Questions

Hey now!

A couple of years ago an 83 WR 430 came to sleep in my shop and only now am I getting around to waking it.

So far it is not a terribly pretty picture, with the barrels very rusty and the crankshaft seemingly unwilling to turn. I hope to pull the primary side drive pinion and the SEM rotor this week.

So my first question is if anyone can give me the thread size and pitch for the rotor puller. If I can get this, I can turn up the tool.

Second is can anyone give me or point me to instruction on bench testing the ignition unit?

Lastly (for now), I am in need of a workshop manual or at the least the technical information mentioned but not supplied for this model in the '83 owners manual PDF generously provided in the tech reference section of this forum.

All information appreciated!

I think if you work at it in the technical reference section and the search function on here you can find what you seek. It is the normal puller not the big one, if you search others just had to know the exact pitch.
