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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Husqvarna
AA Class
Rebuilt top end, was a bit of a pain to start after But ran ok and started better after warm.

It sat for 6-7 weeks, could not even get a glimmer of it to start. swapped plugs, tipped her over.
Checked spark visually and could not see anything.
Where to start from here??? Bike likely has 120 hours total, 3 heat cycles on current top end.
Carb cleaned/rebuilt and jetting seemed very close from the heat cycles, maybe some pilot adjustment required, other than that great.

Only other time I lost spark on my WR 125 i ended up swapping over to CR ignition so never really new which part failed.
 
Get out the multi meter mate. Start at the stator and work out, if that makes sense.
 
2 things these show a weak spark kicking speed
1st try another plug, and one that you are certain it works, like from anything running now
2nd i actually used a drill motor with a socket to spin mine over, obviously with the plug removed
before you go try anything else confirm or deny spark exists
 
New plug cap, cleaned carb up again, dropped pilot from 40 to 30 (been very hot here) and adjusted float to 8.7mm(was way off, must have gotten knocked around).

She fired right up, starts very easily now, will need to do a plug chop to be safe with the big pilot drop.
