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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi all.

After 5 years of neglect and 2 years of sitting completely idle, I have decided to get back into riding and began prepping my 2007 TE510 this weekend. I dumped the 2 year old gas, charged the battery, and added fresh gas. The bike started right up with one problem.

Gas was poring out the vent hose when I turn on the gas. I assume it the float was sticking, so I pulled the carb and while it was pretty gunky in the float bowl, the float seemed to move freely.

Is there anything else that would cause the gas to poor out like that?
 
It's the o-ring that goes around the needle seat.
Remove the floats then the flanged screw that holds in the seat.
Sometimes they get stuck, have used snap ring pliers to get them out.
Don't scratch the seating area you will see the o-ring it will be hard and brittle just pick it out with something like a needle, just avoid scratching the ID.
Lightly grease the new o-ring.
Mexifornia gas kills these o-rings.
