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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

My 250 wxc is a killer to start due to the kick back it has. Owned alot of 250s but never had one do this. I checked the flywheel key and it is good. The bike runs good when started but no fun getting it going. Whats next?
 
no, not every time. but give me your ideas either way, i'm curious to know just to gain some knowledge on these older Husky's', thank you for your time!!
 
Sounds like its a litte advanced, try retarding stator a fraction.
Failing that its got high compression and your not kicking it hard enough.

You mention owning a few 250's if they arnt huskys then you may be kicking down not back, not too sure about 80's bikes but mine needs a donkey kick to start.

counter clockwise?

what he means is the kicker is so high on the engine it requires you to kick back then down, unless your 7' tall
that seems like a donkey style kick
the design was odd but to keep the countershaft sprocket on the right due to the first ones being drum brakes the kicker needed to be that high
that being said the kick angle to get full use of the possible rotations of one kick require you to start at a point that has you at a bad leverage angle

he is right in a slight retard of your ignition might be in order
 
Think the rotation of the engine is clockwise -> so to retard the ignition move stator further clockwise, mark the before location so if its worse you can put it back to where it was.

Good luck.
