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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

08 510 Smr Gas Tank Problems

Husqvarna
B Class
Hi all, I have a question that could be a potential issue. Lately, I’ve been getting terrible fuel mileage. After maybe two or so rides lasting about 15 minutes each (about 7 miles), I somehow managed to empty a very sizable portion of the tank. When I took the tank off, the red little tab or thing you take the fuel line off of kept leaking fuel. Is this supposed to happen? Is something broken? Can this be the reason to why my tank empties so fast?

When your fuel line is disconnected, the red nipple will leak. I try to have less than half a tank when I remove mine and then prop the tank up so it won’t leak out. Now, while the fuel line to your injector is connected, is fuel leaking?

It stopped leaking but that was maybe after 10 minutes of it laying upside down, I’ll check if it’s leaking when I put it back on.
 
I don’t believe there is any kind of check valve

Good news, nothing is leaking it was just me being worried haha

Except I do have another problem now :(. The long bolt for the oil filter snapped when I was tightening it, for some reason my torque wrench never clicked, but I'll probably take it to a mechanic since I do not have the tools for extracting it.

Good to hear. I have found that the quality of steel Husqvarna used on these bolts was very subpar. I’ve replaced many bolts on mine over the years due to the threads failing. Numerous bolts failed threading into aluminum and the aluminum wasn’t damaged.
