The throttle cable needs adjusting I think...
The battery that came with the bike is too big for the battery box, which is maybe why it didn't have one?! and it's certainly weak, so I'll be buying a new one.
But otherwise not too bad so far...

Re: How "NOT" to Husky
Oooh that must have been a good moment! (thumbs)
Go on tell us - you're rebuilding the yaght from a wreckers yard too and you're going to sail it around the world with the Husky in the hold ready for those exotic shores ... :whistle:
Meanwhile, congratulations!

Re: How "NOT" to Husky
Not so much a wrecker's yard as a muddy creek in the Norfolk Broad!
It was a foot deep in brown river water when I found it but it's coming back to life slowly.

Re: How "NOT" to Husky
Thanks Mad Hatter,
I wouldn't say it's sorted but getting there.
I need to sort the throttle cables to get the bike to idle without holding the throttle open, I messed around with the cables getting the carb off which was unnecessary but that's the kind of thing you do when you're starting out from scratch.
There's a bit of a misfire/backfire when trying to start at the moment?! :blink:
Hoping it has something to do with being cold/throttle cable adjustment but don't really know?
I'll have to start digging around in the workshop manual.

Re: How "NOT" to Husky
If it doesn't run without holding the throttle you need to adjust the carb. Never try that doing it adjusting the cables. There should be a (very) slight play in the throttle.
I'd also get someone to properly adjust the carbs or you might burn a hole in the piston if the mixture is too lean. SERIOUSLY !
Backfire could be mixture or ignition timing.

It'll end in tears I tells ya.
Re: How "NOT" to Husky
Thank you Dutch,
It would be a pity to burn a piston on an engine I've just replaced!
I'll ask Huskyparts and Huskysport for some advice before I get carried away with myself
