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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

also does any one have the stock jetting sizes and the valve specs?
 
It's the stator. I had the same problem. You will see a spark, but it is too weak to get it going and keep it going if it does start. I had Eric, from Eric's Motorcycle Company in Pasadena (he's since retired) machine down to fit in the Husky case, a Cagiva unit in mine. Starts and runs on first kick, even after it's been sitting for very long times. I've since gotten a 2008 610TE and don't ride mine anymore... But it still runs like a top.
 
thanks Patrick, I found the prob. the choke spring was missing. I replaced
it with a spring from a holley carburetor power valve . the bike starts first or second kick. I also knew eric and brent from erics very well. Im from Pasadena
