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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Broken flywheel magnets-no spark!?

Hello guys, a flywheel magnet made a bid for freedom from the flywheel it was attached to last week.

Since then, the bike has started sometimes and then quit of it's own accord. I pulled the spark plug and the spark is only coming through occasionally and looks weak when it does.

I thought the magneto setup only charged the battery and the current for the spark came from the battery, but reading the write up on the ignition system from the manual seems to suggest otherwise:

So this is the cause of my no spark afterall? Because I thought it was just a red herring to begin with.
 
I can confirm this is that type of ignition, I glued the broken magnet back on and I am back getting a spark!
