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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fuel Crossover necessary on TXC310r?

Hey guys,

I'm having issues with an interfering fuel crossover line and the water pump on my 2013 TXC310r......keeps rubbing, keeps leaking, have tried several "fixes" of my own to no avail. I now just have both petcocks in the "off" position.


my question is this:

Can i simply remove this line and forget about having a "low fuel" warning light? It would alleviate a big headache of fuel dripping on the exhaust header every few hours of ride time....

This is a race only bike for me, don't need the low fuel warning light to be honest.......I always refuel to the top at the beginning of each enduro loop.

thanks for looking!

Call ZipTy racing they have just made very nice well finished spacer washers to raise the tank up a few mm to clear the issue. I have them installed on my 2013 TXC310R.
Also if you replace the fuel pump access cover hex head screws for pan head internal hex type (pan head allen type) they are lower profile and add more clearance. With no or minimal fuel the clearance was there, but with a full tank it would hit in that same spot (cross over onto the coolant pump). When I first got the bike there was a slight fuel leak right at the fuel valve.

The cross over is to keep all the fuel balanced to the lowest point, so you never have to tip your fuel into the other side of the tank, best to keep the cross tube in place.
 
robert,

thanks for the information and advice - next step is clearly to try the spacers......

thanks,
