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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I bought this recently and just rode it on the road. Drives fine and then after a mile or so just dies. Try to kick start her again and nothing happens. Leave it for 5 to 10 minutes and then she starts on the kick eventually. Ride on another bit (anywhere from 200 yards to 2 miles) and it dies again. Happens me every time.
Tank is full of petrol incidentally.
Three suspects, float is stuck and not letting enough fuel into the carb,
fuel filter/tap is dirty and finally an electrical falut.

Symptons, I am cruising along in top gear at about 60 for a while and the bike instantly dies, no spluttering beforehand. Let it sit for a while and eventually I can kick start it again. Whats up, anyone ever had a similar problem ?
By the way she has been fitted out for the road with lights, horn and kill switch etc.
 
Just make sure the vent is working on the fuel cap to start with then i would look for the ignition coil for good electrical connection. Yes float height could be one too, those bike doesn't have 2 fuel petcock by any chance??

When you say 2 fuel Petcock do you mean an "on" and a "Reserve" position. The fuel tap is a new one incidentally.
 
check the above suggestions and check your float level too. mine was doing the same thing after disaasembling my carb 2x and stupidly thinking that the previous owner would have float level right. the 3rd disaasembly was the charm as it was way low, she just ran the bowl out of gas!!! The clue was that at low rpm constant throttle the bike would just cruise along fine, but open the gas and bog in minute and die, wait a minute or 2 and she would start right up. I found the float level setting on ducati website for the dell lorto carb basically its arms level (parallel)with the base of the carb, that cured my issue
 
The flywheel on some of the old 610's used to separate inside. The magnets move inside the flywheel unit. Sometimes they move and it will start and sometimes it wont. I dont know if that would cause it to die though?
Are you valves set correctly?
They aren't tight, getting hot and closing up are they? By the time it has stood and cooled of it has just enough clearance to run again?
just a thought.

Right, i disassembled cleaned and reassembled the carb. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary and everything was clean. The float height was also correct. Put it back into the bike and sure enough about 3 miles later it dies again. Wait about 10 miuntes and she eventually starts again. I am getting really pissed off with this bike. Why is it doing this.
Someone mentioned to me that the HT coil may be getting hot and breaking down?

IT's possible it is the coil .. . But could be the float valve as mentioned ... I had the same problem .. bought a new valve .. and bingo . : )

Any specialists in the UK who recondition or check Husky carbs ?

Where did you buy the valve?
