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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Maybe you should ask dukkman52, he is also in Qld at your approximate altitude, has lots of knowledge and quite a few Husqvarnas.
 
Thanks AJCMBROWN. I bought a new carby but the jetting they gave me got mixed up with all the rest of my spare mikuni jets . The needle and needle valve jet is with about 10 others in a box. Lucky dip finding the right ones. I'm waiting to here back from the carby guy as well.
 
Standard should be around 45 pilot, 430 main second clip in the needle.

Before jetting make sure the air filter is clean, carb float lever is set right.
No air leaks on the cylinder base and ignition seal and carb boot.

Put the needle in the third slot. Make sure the spark plug is ok. Make sure there is a tad loose feeling in the throttle cable housing. Lube the throttle cable.

First using a hand held tach adjust the balance screw for the best idle. The balance screw should be between 1 to 1 1/2 turns open. Change jets till this is achieved. Remember to adjust the idle as you go.

How does the throttle feel? Lean or rich. if not sure go rich till it's blubbery. Then back off till it's crisp on the response.

Now how does it feel off the bottom? Rich or lean? Does it respond of hesitate? Put the needle from the third to the fourth slot. Is it too rich?
If it's close open your balance screw a tad. Or is it lean then close your balance screw to richen it.

You will achieve about 90% of having it jetted close the last 10% is tough to get out.
