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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Help 2006 TE 510 Died

Hello all, I'm brand new to Husky. Just bought an 06 TE510 and all was fantastic. I was riding today and the bike completely shut down on me. The engine cranks, and the start switch works. When I kick start it, it seems to have perfect compression. I'm getting gas from the fuel line. I pulled the plug and didn't see any spark. I think I may have shorted out my electrical system. I was trying to check if the grip warmers were drawing excessive current and uplugged the connectors. I forgot to connect them back and ran the bike. When I saw the display and headlight going crazy I stopped the bike. I finally realized what was going on. The wires were very hot. I reconnected them, and the bike started right up. I rode around the street 2x and thought I was OK. Later in the afternoon, I was riding and it died suddenly after about 1/2 mile. I know I was really stupid to leave the connectors contacting each other. I hope that I haven't caused a very expensive problem. Any help is sincerely appreciated.
Regards,
Mike
 
Have you tried opening the gas cap & listening for a hiss? Some times the vents in the gas cap don't always work as they should. A vacuum builds up & starves the engine of fuel.
Good luck :thumbsup:
 
Thanks Ruffus. I didn't hear anything. Also, gas flows freely when I disconnect the line from the carb. I laid the bike down and checked the stator. All looked fine. Nothing melted. I checked continuity between the spark plug cable and ground and it seemed fine. I'm not experienced at all, but I am interested in working on my bike. What concerns me the most is that I don't see any spark at all when I turn the engine over. I really appreciate your time!
 
Check the fuses near the batery

My son had a similar problem on his TE 510 2006, the cables that run to the batery were pressed from the seat and caused a short cut and broke a fuse, He repaired the cables and change the fuse and it start inmediatly.
 
My 07 510 radiator hose under the fueltank would rub against the connector to the coil and would get disconnected every so often.
 
There is a part bolted just above your stator that can go bad, (never can remember the name of it). My friend's '07 510 would run for five minutes and then shut down and have a no spark situation. That part was the problem.
Good luck.
 
You guys are awesome! I think columbia510 nailed it. There was a wire running near the coil that had a loose connection. I cleaned it and reconnected it. Bike started right up. I cleaned the stator out... Wasn't too dirty. I'm really liking the bike a lot.
Thanks again!
Mike
