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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fixed My Starting Problem

Well, she starts fine now. Had a clicking sound coming from the starter relay, but no power to the starter and no crank. So, I got a new starter relay. Now, upon removal, I found that where the positive battery cable connects to the starter relay, it was dirty and burnt. Most likely that was the problem all along. I replaced the relay and used dielectric grease on the connections. I kept the old relay. The bike starts and runs better than it did before. The electrical system pulls a lot of current through the battery connection on the starter relay. It needs to be kept clean. Dielectric grease helps.

Probably a dumb question but; if I'm going to use that dielectric grase on the gang connectors, do I have to be real careful not to have the grease cross over between connections and cause problems that way? Since the grease helps conduct, couldn't that cause a short or something....?
 
Well, that just shows my ignorance:o . Does that mean other "regular" greases could conduct and that's why you shouldn't use them? (like Bel-ray waterproof grease-that I have on hand)
