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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc Husky Boy Front Brake Problem

AA Class
I have a 2000 Husqvarna Husky Boy 50. It has the AJP front brake. The master cylinder was working fine and my daughter was riding it and said she had no front brake. The lever had no pressure. So we got home and tried to bleed it but it was not pumping much fluid. It never ran out of fluid. So I got a master cylinder off of eBay that was supposed to work. I put it on and it didn't pump much either. Is there a special way to bleed them? I used the bleeder but I can't get any pressure. Any tip would be great.
 
Make sure the brake hose isn't above the cylinder at any point, I tuck it down under bar pad.
Adjust the brake so it's level and fill it up.
Squeeze the lever open the calliper shut calliper release lever. Repeat. Repeat repeat... to save time of your impatient like me I crack the bleed nipple and put finger over the end to stop air entering an just pump the lever.

If all that doesn't work take calliper off and hold it above the lever then try bleeding. In theory this let's all the air to the top ie bleed nipple.

If still no joy then I would be inspecting/replacing the line as that may have bulge or started to degrade internally.. insect check that first.
