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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Coolant Leak From A Simple Fall

T

The Gazzman

Husqvarna
AA Class
Hi, I have done about 230 hours with my TXC310R after a top end rebuild at 190 hours. I was out riding hills and had a front end lose from slippery clay. I noticed some coolant leakage and initially thought it may have come from the overflow pipe as the bike was almost inverted.

The leak continued once started so I immediately rode back to the car to check it out.

Once I raised the tank I noticed the waterpump pipe had a wear mark and a small hole next to fuel pump plate on the LHS. The spot is shown by a yellow arrow on the picture attached. The back inner bolt has cut through the pipe. Probably from the force of my left knee on the tank as I went over the bars to the RHS.

Has anybody else had a similar problem? I probably need stronger pipe and/or slightly different routing if that is possible.

Recommendations?

That's my early report from late '12. Do the fixes I describe. I only needed to shim the front of the tank to get a a few mm clearance for the fuel petcock which I have to imagine is sitting hard on your water pump cover. The hex head fasteners under the tank... You need to get the button heads and that will fix the spacing along with a few hardware store shims in front. Lifting the back won't help as much and can make side panels or seat fit a little off. The allen button heads I did have to source at a good fastener shop but they are key.
 
Thanks Johnrg. Well I did the tank spacing and the button head screw fix today which was straight forward thanks to the forum. I tried to order a replacement hose which is a 8-10 week wait in Australia. I then tried multiple stores for a quick replacement without success. Could only find 19mm hose which would be too tight for the plastic thermostat pipe (OD 21mm ignoring the lip). 22mm hose was enormous and probably would not fit under the tank.

Has anybody found an equivalent hose I can try?

Regards
Garry
