twin shock wr 510's

[80-85 husky]

ol mate never had a drama. the two /'s had issues with the SEM's running hot and failing if they were allowed to get dirty (and some just poohed themselves with no reason (poor manufacture)).

the 4 bangers ran hot if flogged mercilessly and were hard to start (sounds like any 4/ to me)

Didnt they run so hot they melted ignitions?

I have this vag memeory of Husky riders carrying a spare at events?

Yep they gave plenty of trouble..!
I put a brand new SEM stator and flywheel on the one I had and it still stopped when it got hot then would start right up when it cooled. Talk about frustrating!
But I believe Shaun and his mate in Brisbane have sorted that problem on theirs...

I never heard that as his ignition lasted for 3 -4 years as he rode it once more when he tracked the bike down a few years after he sold it and it was still untouched, the biggest issue I heard they had was blowing the carb clean off with back firing.. ol mate spent some time fitting his carb back up every so often.

I had a 240 for 3 years from new and sold it with the original SEM ignition in it but I used to clean it religiously after every ride and hit it with contact cleaner. couldn't afford an ign then!

hot fail would drive you insane!!!

still no real answer to the original question, would have to talk to Hans i guess he would probably know.

WR510s are very rare. Lots more TE510s out there...

For Desert racing the americans such as Larry Roeseler had oil coolers fitted. Up-Tite was one brand and i have seen another. One way was with an external 12v electric oil pump and the otherway they did it was  a pump driven off the counter shaft.

my engine is the update engine, with sorted ignition and 1piece valve guides (phew )

Didn't this story have a lovely ending 

[80-85 husky]

no! I pulled the forks and front end to bits and half stuffed the collar thread when trying to persuade the head stem to part company with the top bearing. Phils thread repairs saved the day! a few bearings and a set of seals and onto a tune up for the motor..

As to finding out any history of this bike..... chirp chirp chirp. Pelle Grandquist is incommunicado currently and I got a nil response from a husky imports email.. probably no one there to remember these bikes.

never mind, on we go... will continue to  tidy the old girl up and basically restore it to a good condition.

If you want info on them speak with Stefan at R&D Husqvarna in Old Bathurst rd Emu Plains, he "might" be able to put you in touch with Hans Applegren, Hans is THE MAN on Husky.

Been "speaking" with Pelle just last week, he is getting along ok, his words, still having treatment for medical issues (aren't we all!) but doing ok never the less.
