• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

The bike had been sitting for about 18 months. We did put in new fuel. We had it out last weekend and at first it was running fine. After about 25 minutes, it would shut down for no reason. The only way to get it to restart was to use the choke. The ambient temp was about 87, and the bike was completely warm, so the choke shouldn't have been needed. Even with the choke, it was very hard to start. Once started, it would run fine for a short time, then just shut down again. Then it was choke, kick many times, ride for a few minutes and the cycle would go again. Today is the first day I'll have to look at it. The air filter looks good, I'm going to pull the spark plug to see if it is fouled. Anyone have any suggestions on what to check first? Thanks in advance.
 
It sounds as though your experiencing fuel starvation. That is why using the choke helps (at least a little) as it adds more fuel to the mixture. Are there any in line fuel filters or at the fuel pump? Pull the fuel lines and blow some air through. See also how much fuel is actually coming out the line from the pump.

Those at least are my thoughts as a start.
