Long time ago somebody told me about an engine decompressor that will help a Husky 01' 360 to start easily. I got a few inputs on where to find either more information or the parts need it. It didn't find the parts. Any inputs? can anybody that reaklly knows if its true that 2002 (Husky 360) came from factory with an engine decompressor? and if it is true, can it be installed on older models like mine (2001)?

I think the decompressor was fitted only on the Australian imports. Call Jeff David at Jaydee Racing, Husky specialist based in New Gisborne, Victoria, Australia.
0061 3 5428 1331. He's a great source of Husky info. Or visit www.husky.com.au

Here in NZ we also were doing the decomp mod. I understand it will work with any 2stroke. Problem is that head has to be drilled and adaptor welded in through the water jacket.
Definately fitted to both new 02 and 01 retro here!!
Good luck

Hello I was just wonderig what kind of price they quoted you for the decompressor? All the articles I have read they want $250 aud and I was given a price of $450 aud,and I think thats a bit to much of a difference.

thanks Dave

$250 US is about right - keep in mind they give you a modified brand new head and you keep the old one. I purchased my bike with it - well worth it after a hard days ride!

I sure would like to know exactly how it is designed and how it functions.
Does anyone have any drawings?

The decompressor retro-fitted to WR360`s sold in New Zealand is an adapted vacuum operated decompressor fitted to the "Victa" brand lawnmower manufactured in Australia. I believe the lawnmower in question is a fairly high compression 150cc engine.
A specially machined mounting has to be welded into the head and sits directly behind the sparkplug. The decompressor is vacuum operated so its automatic. It reduces the kick to something like a well tuned 200 would need to start.
The guy who came up with this mod is Tjebbe Bruin who can be contacted at Bruin Engineering, Auckland, New Zealand. Ph 0064 9 4809408 or faxed at 0064 9 4805594.

Yep its a modified Victa lawnmower decompressor...I think you coukld buy it from Victa Lawnmowers and try and fit it in yourself. That may be a cheaper option...but it works well..

Here is a link to Husky Motor Cycle Imports Pty Ltd in Australia.

http://www.husky.com.au

Place your cursor over the "Technical" link at the top center of the page and then click on "WR260 Decompression Kit" which will pull up some installation instructions with good pictures.

I hope this helps.
