• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Has anyone seen this before? My 06 does not start and my mechanic has performed the following:

"At this point here is what I have done
Motorcycle will not start or even try
Between tests I would check to see if I made a change to the issue
Checked spark - strong and blue
Checked for fuel for water/bad fuel in the carburetor - Had clean healthy fuel, no sign of water
Checked for loose clamps and or vacuum leaks - None found
Perform leak down test - 7% loss
Removed flywheel to check for a sheered woodruff key - No signs of damage
Check resistance of pickup coil
Remove carburetor and inspect and clean - no problem found
Check valve clearances - both exhaust valves out of spec, but only by a couple of tenths, not enough to hold a valve open. Also inspected the decompression actuator, seems fine and moves freely while still returning to activate the decompression. I did change the shims on the exhaust valves since I was already there.
If anyone has seen something like this, I would greatly appreciate any advice available
Calling a priest to perform an Exorcism has been considered. "
Much appreciated for any insight!
Cheers!
