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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

So I had cold and hot start issues. Fiddled with carby with no luck so took it to a professional to undo my handywork. He took it back to where it was, think it was only in need of mixture adjustment.
So cold start not too bad now, needs a tiny bit of throttle though which is against Husky instructions.
BUT hot starts are IMPOSSIBLE! It cranks and nearly starts but then pops and stops then in no time the electric starter drains (new battery in place). Tried the kickstart but it's impossible too. I leave it off to give battery a rest and for a while it'll recover charge but still no start. Then sometimes during all this with very little starter action it'll start up quick (rare)
I'm losing my cool with it very quickly, can anyone save me from getting over dirt bikes before I've even begun?
I'll be in the shop again monday with instructions to fix or I'm over it!
HELP!!!
 
I always start from the beginning. 1. Check compression, 2. Check valve clearance (when bike gets hot valves tighten up
And can cause hot start issue)3. While you are checking valve clearance, make sure valve timing is correct
3.Do the carb like your life depends on it(perfect) 4. Make sure intake boot, tank, tank venting is all perfect.
5. It's never timing (so make sure you check it)6.get a spare plug, and when you get it hot as soon as it won't start,
Pull boot off and see if you are loosing spark. All this can be done in an hour or so once your set up and ready.
I usually start here with bikes acting goofy, then go to leak down etc....
Good luck, let us know..
 
Thanks James, I'm not experienced with these things, want to learn but not sure I'm up to it.
I had the valves replaced at a major service just after I bought it. I guess they'd check compression then? How do I do this, seems to have heaps as often have to decompress to kick or electric start (is this the same compression?)
I'll let the knowledgeable ones have one more look and report my progress....
