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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2012 Husqvarna TE310 ECU Upgrade...

those injector screws are perma locktighted in, I was going to heat them a little, which is normal for the super strong stuff. But using the proper hi quality #3 phillips (snap-on) with a wrench on the shaft they came out perfectly, no need for hammers and chisels...
 
This is my inspiration...first Husky I fell in love with. Saw a picture of this and couldn't help but love Husky's. I'll be back on topic after this...promise :)

An enduro version of course :)

Until the #3 Philips strips out one of those soft JIS screws, then the hammer and chisel and a little penetrating oil do the trick. There was no thread locker of any kind on either of the fuel rail screws on my bike, but there is now...along with hex cap screws.
 
I finally installed the ZIpTy aluminum elbow for the fuel tank. However, it doesn't fit properly and leaked slightly after two hours. It's too narrow. It went in too easily and wobbled a tiny bit in place. The stock plastic piece fits more snug.

I reverted to the plastic fuel elbow. I'm putting the exhaust system on now. The tank is on, subframe is on... pretty much just wrapping it up. Everything is plugged in. I can start the bike soon as I get the exhaust fitted.

I still have my plastic elbow on and have removed the tank at least 7 times with no issues. If you remove the tank with any type of care and patience you will be fine with the stock one. If I break mine I would upgrade it though.
 
I'm just going to buy a spare plastic one since the upgrade doesn't fit properly.

I wouldn't think 0.02mm would make any difference. Compare the groove depth and if they are machined deeper on the aluminium elbow then just use fatter O rings.
 
It's not supposed to wobble. Larger o-rings wouldn't fit in the part right. And it would still wobble.
 
It's not the size of your tank elbow...it's how you use it.

P.S. - Dip it in some oil that has a seal sweller in it before reinstalling it and your leak will go away. The ethanol in the fuel you are running has shrunk them.
 
She was a tad fussy cranking the starter, but I think the start switch or relay are iffy as I've noticed that a couple of times before. But she fired right up once she turned over. She's idling a tad low at 1800, I might bump that a bit later, but I want to see how she does with not adjustments.

I was surprised how quiet this pipe is. I figured it would be tons louder than stock. Even the bark under throttle is very similar, which is good. I like her snarl before.

Just gotta put all the trim back on. Hopefully taking her out tomorrow - we got .17" of rain yesterday, conditions will hopefully be epic. :)
 
Got a few laps today. Screwed up the exhaust mounting, but fixed that. She seems a bit choked compared to stock but the power delivery was smooth and blipping it off idle wouldn't kill it. She was running really good in that respect I think it has a DVD killer in it - will swap that out with the shorty spark arrestor and see if that helps it breathe.
