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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

'98 TE410 Lost the Ability to Start...but can backfire.

Hi one and all...
my TE410 has been running like a gem although occasionally a bit 'missy' like the carb had some dirt but stripping it revealed no expected dirt...very clean in fact.

Last weekend I climbed a hill, got the front wheel in the air from a tree stump and kinda landed the bike on it's right (brake lever) side on soft ground. It idled for a bit and then quietly stalled while picking it up with the usual smell of fuel in the air.

Anyway, I could NOT get it to start (kick only)....it has been a pig before but I thought I had it all sussed now and have been able to eventually get it to start....now it sounds a 'little' choofy and backfires with a crisp bang or pop.

Spark looks like it usually does and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with these bikes stuffing valves if run perhaps too long on the side from a layover like mine although only about 5 seconds.

As I type this it just occurred that maybe the throttle is sticking partially open although it doesn't feel like it...will go and check shortly.

The flywheel has been removed and no loose magnets. Nothing odd looking anywhere for that matter....

Thanks for any suggestions.
