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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Perhaps this can help someone save half a day or so as I oftem modify stuff and it doesn't fit quite like I thought. Over the last few years I got a complete pwk 39, the generic sudco kind and another body which came with a bunch of jets and needles. I didn't get the carb to fit into the rubber boot for the micuni round slide 38 so I modified the carb with gas tank repair epoxy to fit the rubber manifold for the 40mm one which I bought at quite high cost. Unfortunatly the rubber boot for the 40 is shorter and the carb didn't reach to the airbox rubber boot to my liking. Upon forcing into the 38 mm rubber boot for the reed cage I changed my mind that it isn't that bad. So if you wish to go from a 40 mm (we are talking mono shock backbone frame here) to a pwk 38 or 39 you will want to get the rubber boots for the 38 on each end. I am not going to really comment on the results of riding it but it sure seemed to go farther when I forgot to turn the gas on. Less weight too.
