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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Mcct- How To Tell Chain Is Worn.

So my "new to me" 2006 Husky TE 610 appears to have a APE manual cam chain tensioner on it. Of course I pulled it off to confirm it was a MCCT. Not really smart. So I go to APE to get the installation instructions, but they do not tell me at what measurement the cam chain needs replaced. When I run out of bolt? Does anyone know?

What is the current opinion on MCCT? ie, Is it worth the money to switch back to the automatic tensioner?

Thanks- Mike
 
I dont really think that you should screw manual tensioner to the end. When cam chain is worn and automatic tensioner is at end, chain rubs at reed valve! Chain costs 70€, thats aboult 90$. If you ask me...change it and you will sleep well for next 20k Km
 
Currently, the bolt is only about 1/2 way used up, so I don't think an immediate replacement is necessary. But if I can't find an answer to the bolt length, then your replacement advice is spot on.

Thanks
 
When my automatic tensioner were out of 12 clicks the chian was already scratching around... The tensioner has about 15 clicks total. Service manual recommends the replacement at 10 clicks. I think you can ask around the forum for the 10 click measure.

Luke, in Italy chian costs 45 euro ;)!

Original husqvarna chain costs 45€? Everithing i buy for my husky in ordered from Zupin Racing from germany. I was told, that their parts are the cheapest! NOT!!

Mastroser, where in Italy can i buy parts with that prise??? Thanks!
 
When I run my ACCT out to 10 clicks, there is 28mm between the tip of the adjuster to the inside of the flange, no gasket.
 
Thank you for taking the time to measure.- I will use 28 as an interim benchmark.
