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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey Husky friends...I was on a ride yesterday and didn't notice I punctured my radiator. Kept riding for a while and my bike shut down. I have refilled the radiator to see if it would fire up again and nothing. Any help would be much appreciated
 
It turns over fine? Then I'd think along the lines of the coil or pickup. Got spark? Yes? well then, got fuel spray?

hopefully, no engine damage was done (there is a reasonable chance of this not happening). BTW, in the future- when you smell coolant (steam) when you're not expecting to... check it out.

good luck.

edit: check your oil level; smell your oil. it should not smell burnt. fingers x'd.
 
Thanks for the info. Ordered new radiator, guards and braces. Realized there was still some coolant left but the fan seized and blew a fuse. Replacing fuse and fan as well and hopefully that is the only problem.
