The Husqvarna is still in a million pieces but those pieces are improving. I received the new-used transmission from eBay and it looks to be in good condition. The seller included a few extra bits like a brace for the starter gears and a well-worn countershaft sprocket. The odd thing is, I bought the gears from a British eBay seller but the transmission was shipped from Latvia. Have I stumbled upon an international motorcycle theft ring that keeps a United Kingdom address for customer assurance but chops the stolen bikes in Latvia? Is it a way to get around the dreaded Value Added Tax?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The transmission fits into the crankcase well and looks exactly the same as the old gear cluster. I used the countershaft shim that came from Latvia but I don\u2019t like the gear spacing so I might try the shim from the old countershaft shim. I\u2019m using the Latvian shift forks and shift drum (the old ones don\u2019t look bad but I suspect may be bent as the bike kept jumping from neutral into gear just pushing it around).<\/p>\n

The flywheel puller I ordered that was supposed to fit my year Husqvarna missed it by a few millimeters. I was sent a 26mm but I measure the threaded puller boss at 28mm. Of course the puller would not thread on. I need to get the flywheel off to wash out the crank bearings and case. I have ordered a 28mm puller; hopefully it will fit.<\/p>\n

My Harbor Freight parts washer hasn\u2019t been cleaned since 1999 and had a \u00bd-inch layer of greasy muck in the bottom. The goal is to not make the parts less polluted, not more. I scraped the gunk out and cleaned the parts washer. It was time, really. The solvent pump was not working and the plastic pump\u2019s hose bard had broken just from sitting. I have looked online for a replacement pump but can\u2019t find an exact fit. I don\u2019t feel like modifying a different pump right now so I decided to wash the bits the old fashioned way: a stiff brush and bucket of mineral spirits.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

As I clean the parts I stack them in order inside a nice, lidded, plastic box to keep dust and cat hair off of them until ready to reinstall. I use blue masking tape to keep the bolts for each component together. This saves you from having to figure out which bolt went where later on. Lots of junk came off the parts and I had to refresh the mineral spirit bucket frequently.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My buddy Deet thinks the world of Yamabond sealant so I ordered a small tube of Number 4 to seal the crankcase halves. I would have used Huskybond 3 but couldn\u2019t find any for sale. My plan is to dry fit the crankcase halves together and test the shifting of the transmission, You need both sides to test the transmission properly otherwise the gears bind and push the shift fork shafts around. After I\u2019m sure the thing shifts ok I\u2019ll pull it apart and apply the sealer for final assembly.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I received the top end gasket set from eBay. It only took two days! I haven\u2019t checked to see if they are the right ones but they look ok in the package, what could go wrong? The gasket set was pricy at $45 but is very complete with all the o-rings and rubber parts along with valve stem seals and the gaskets.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not making rapid progress on the Husqvarna. I spend a lot of my time wondering at a blade of grass or being amazed by the sky revolving around above my head. Still, I\u2019m more confident than ever that the Husky will tear up the trails once again. Now I just need that 28mm puller.<\/p>\n
