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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ok, i got my new 300 this Friday. I looked in my instuction book and tried to find something about the switchable ignition that it is equipped with. How and where do i change it? Is there any bar mounted switch to put on it from Husqvarna?

my 2012 doesn't have one
 
Hello guys! Here i am! You're right. I've been iceracing with the CR 500. My son has been using my WR 300 on the ice for a few weeks now. All is good, but he has problem starting it, and it kicks back quite bad sometimes. Does anyone of you have the same issue? I was thinking of changing ignition timing a bit to get rid of this issue if there isn't any other solution to this. So, what do you say guys?

lots of leg weights mate :)
 
Mine did that when the pilot was too rich. The smaller pilot started easier but lost power off idle. I fixed it with a Lectron!

I recently put the Lectron on my 300. I tried to start it with the choke and it nearly snapped my foot in two!:eek: Then I shut the choke off and started it after few more kicks. Still seemed too rich. so I turned the metering rod out a turn. Hoping it will start okay with the choke, and less smokey and more crisp off the idle now. We'll see. Haven't gotten a chance to take it out and test ride it just yet.
 
what size pilot jet jonny? verify same, if its the correct size'sh try going out on the AS 1/8-1/4 (max) turn. always wear a boot starting that beast!

Yup! Same thing. I'm 3/4 turn leaner and may need one more 1/4 turn. Rode up and down the street last night and off idle is amazing compared to the Mikuni. Maybe a little too amazing.

And Yup, pvduke! I was wearing my thin Puma sneakers. Hobbled back to my boots and put on the kicker boot.
 
OUCH! lol yup learned long ago anything bigger than a 250cc 2T and it's moto boot time. big bores are fiesty critters. like ta eat feet!
 
I think i have a 45 pilot in it now, but it,s cold here and i had the same jetting last winter so i don't think it's a jetting thing. I think it's the Ducati ignition. I have the PWK 38 AS on it. My ported CR 500 is easier to start. I sit down on that one and give it a good kick and it comes alive.
 
jonny boy!!! i miss you man. :p

you crazy ice racing swedes are weak! im a 5'4" irish midget! i can start mine no problem! eat more wheaties and less meatballs man!!! :D

and turn the AS out a tick...should start easier. and check yer plug after...goes w/o saying of course.
