Above: after sorting through problems, rebuilding the engine three times-
&
lots of work, on display at the 2023 Seattle Supercross.
below, the start of the story- : the 430 CR Husqvarna just acquired, arriving
home.
Dave Kramer (left) helped
me puting the newly powdercoated frame together, engine in.
An air
cooled bike would not have a Clutch cover with a water-pump cap- but the 1982
clutch was prone to disastrous failure, where the teeth would jam, and break
the center cases.
I found this out the hard way trying to start my race bike at Goldendale.
There was a loud CRACK, and looked down to see the left center case
split open. Ugh.
