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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc 08 cr 165 hard starting?!

Going to dig Into the bike a bit tonight. Yes the cold start only thing has me puzzled. It only happens every 3rd or 4th ride,
It always eventually starts and runs fine (after the kicking and swearing fest)


Motor has 80 hrs. Wb kit has 8. Don't think the crank seals would go yet. I assume a leakdown would be the way to test?

Guess I'll clean up the Mikuni and see how it does. Plan on checking wiring. Will see if I can figure out how to test the stator/coil.

Thanks
 
Finally found the problem, or at least it seems like a really good chance.

Tried firing the bike up several times over the span of the day. Some choke/No Choke/No Throttle/Full Throttle. Jumped the boot to plug with a screwdriver, fired right up.

It must've been arcing around the boot. I applied some di-electric grease to seal it up, and she's golden.

Funny, cause I was ready to dissassemble half the bike when I found it. Stoked!
