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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2007 TE510 STARTING PROBLEM.

Hello any advice greatly appreciated.
Recently got a 510 first proper dirt bike. Went to an enduro fun day! couple of weeks back, was not fun, very muddy tight woods hills descents etc.
Got stuck loads, bike overheated loads, cut out loads, I pushed it loads. you get the picture.
Tried starting the other day, it fired but sounded like it was popping through air filter.
Bike then cut out, and now backfires or pops at filter but wont fire.
what do you think?
Cheers
 
I would clean off the bike and check the valve clearance, almost sounds like a tight intake valve to me. I would also take a close look at the condition of the rubber intake boot between the carb and cylinder head as this may be deteriorated/cracked/or even just loose at the clamp,and make sure that it is seated properly. I have seen these blow out of the clamp at the manifold from back firing if not tight enough and seated properly.
 
Thanks for reply.
Ok have checked valve clearance, all ok.
called in at local husky shop and talked to them, they also suggested intake boot, carb flooding or possibly woodruff key sheared.
so will start with intake boot and carb and see what happens.
Thanks again
 
Lol, The only visits to the garage have been to take out more rubbish, you know wrapping paper boxes etc. Five kids and three grandchildren who seem to think christmas is more important than my bike not starting, go figure.
Will be back to it this week.
