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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What kind of reed valve is this?

Husqvarna
AA Class

This intake has the wide aluminum plate and a bolted on boot. Bolts are removed but you can see the mounting holes.

Looks different than the parts diagram picture for the stock reed assembly.
Any ideas?
 
We put a torque spacer between the reeds and the cylinder. This pulls out the reeds a tad from the reed box. Yours is on the wrong side of the reeds.

thats not a spacer plate. someone adapted the bike to have a different set of reeds..5 petal? the black adapter is a standard husky piece, so a mikuni spigot adapter can be used. looks like you could locate a magnesium reed block from any primary kick husky and install that along with new reed petals and be good to go. a new mikuni boot would be a good idea as well
 
The boot is trashed for sure. Reeds too. I was hoping to find reeds for this one but I can do as you suggest.Where's a good place to get the spigot adaptor?
 
the spigot is a Mikuni part that reed cage has surly got to be a Mossberg getting those parts should be easy
 
i bet thats a mossbarger cage..everything else is husky..should be able to get petals from them still..and the mikuni boot isnt too expensive.
 
I see the "power groove" inside- I'll have to call them. Mine is a 5 petal design. Must be an early one to have left the extra metal or a knock-off.
Thanks guys! Anyone know where I can get the boot?
 
read the part number on the lip of the boot, and search on ebay or the like. you can always pay more from a specialist or some carb parts dealers..if you cant find the number i can check in the garage
 
i got my last one from Halls Sudco dist will have them the old parts n acc shop kept them on hand back in the 70s n 80s that will be super easy
 
DAMN NOT THE LAST ONE I BOUGHT BUT THE ONE BEFORE THAT [ OK YES IT WAS 1985] WAS 6 DOLLARS CALL HALLS I BET RAYMOND HAS A BOX FULL OF THOSE
 
Hey guys, Thanks for the responses :cheers: ! Cafe Husky is great!
yes it is a Mossbarger- called Tiffany at Mossbargers and they have the reeds and the inlet flange- $25 for the flange:applause:
How often do they wear out??
