  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 tank dumbass

Hi, unbelievably I have been an utter dumbass and let my fuel tank fall off my bike onto the floor whilst I was trying to undo the connection off the reserve tap.
Unfortunately it has ripped the two wires off the fuel tap!! Wow!!
What I was hoping one of you lovely people would tell me is....one of those wires goes inside the tap for the float. Is that wire supposed to be attached to something inside the tap or is it possible to pull the wire out? As mine is now out! I can push it back in but I'm not sure if pushing it back in will be ok?
Any help much appreciated
Cheers Jody
 
There's a red and a black wire that runs to your fuel pump. Not sure if these are the wires you are referring to, but I would pass voltage to these wires to establish if they are continuing to run the fuel pump.

I would pull the petcock out and trace the wire....wouldnt be putting electricity to a gas tank if I dont know where the wire is going.
 
Yes that's what I'm a bit worried about. I've pulls the petcock out but it doesn't help much. The wire just disappears up inside a tube that has a filter on it. Might give the husky parts place a ring and see if the petcock comes with the wire attached. I can't see that the wire would just be pushed up the tube and not attached in some way
 
I dont have my workshop manual handy to look at the picture....but I think it should be connecting to your fuel pump. Dealer should be able to tell you.
 
I tested it out of the tank and it doesn't work properly anymore.
Found out its a paioli fuel tap.
Think I've knackered it

Yes, thanks for the info... I might see how much a new tap is just because I quite liked having the low fuel light! If its crazy money then I'll do like you said and forget about it!!
