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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Unboxing Cycleworks pump kit.
Cool olive green body, and a barbed nipple! Wasn't expecting that..
Old and new
Bottoms up
Next 2 images are the 6" length of the Gates hose that comes with the Cycleworks kit. This hose is NOT SAE R3010 rated, nor is it long enough for this application.
Where the skinny OEM fuel line attaches half-way up the filter inlet, the new line must clamp farther up, where the OD is larger.
Detail of pump vs. filter male outside diameters.
This is the SAE R3010 line recommended by OlderHuskyRider. I got it for under $17/ft. delivered. This application used 8" of it.
