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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hard starting --- white smoke

So after my last fiasco, or riding adventure on the little husky, I now have a major issue and need some help.

The bike starts ok, and will run for a few minutes on idle, if I get on the throttle it will run until I reduce throttle and then the bike will stall. After this the bike will not start.

Work done recently.

Rebuilt water pump
Drain oil - dark, not milky.
Replace oil, filter, oil cover o-ring
Pull clutch plates and springs. Springs under spec and replaced.
New clutch cover gasket
Drained coolant and replaced.
Charged battery
New spark plug
Cleaned air filter

Today - borrowed a timing light to test spark. Good light while idle and while throttle is open. The bike stalled as expected and this time released a bunch of thick white smoke from the intake. This bit is new and has me concerned.

I have not tried to start the bike since the smoke, in fear of more damage to internal motor.

Help is appreciated.

My Cannondale is a problem child also,my white smoke from the intake is due to a rich condition,which,for me means a throttle recal.I assume your husky is FI with a ECU?Maybe a throttle position sensor?Sorry know nothing about 4st huskys but like most modern 4 strokes it could be something stupidly simple that a dealer can find with a laptop. I even had a spun flywheel once,would not rev to save its life,chased that for hours!
