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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2013 Txc250 Starter Operating But Not Engaging Flywheel??

K

KYHusky

Husqvarna
Was able to fix the starter motor by taking it apart and cleaning it and adjusting the brushes. However, when hooked back up and pressing the starter button, it just spins without engaging the flywheel.

Question: Any thoughts as to what part(s) need replaced to engage the flywheel? See attached pic. The circled gear from starter shaft and sprocket gear behind flywheel works well and spins when starter is engaged. Just not cranking the flywheel??

When you put the starter back together there are lines on the barrel (with magnets) that need to be aligned with Marks on the end caps. Get this wrong and you starter turns backwards. The good news is you just tested your sprag clutch and it obviously works.

Out of curiosity; how do you conclude from the topic starters information that the sprag clutch is working?

By rotating the motor with the kickstarter it is easy to see the engines rotation direction and to determine whether the starter motor is rotating in the correct direction or not.
- In case the starter turns backwards the sprag clutch will simply not engage.
- In case the starter turns in the correct direction, the sprag clutch itself is still a suspect imo.
