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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Charcoal Canister Question - TE511

Husqvarna
AA Class
Hey all. Just purchased a 2012 TE511, loving it so far, but have a (hopefully) quick question: I've removed the charcoal canister from the bike and routed the tank vent hose down by the swing arm, do I need to remove the one way valve on the hose or does the tank need to be pressurized?

I've searched around the forum quite a bit but couldn't find any conclusive answers. I'm also getting some gas in my oil as I've read in another thread and am wondering if that could have anything to do with it.

Any insight is appreciated. Thanks!

EDIT: Actually upon thinking about it, (correct me if I'm wrong) the valve obviously would relieve pressure from the tank, as gas would flow from the tank to the charcoal canister. So perhaps the hose is kinked somewhere.
