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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Missing engine oil, broken oil pump?

Sup guys, long time no read.

I've got a little problem here:
I wanted to change my engine oil today, pulled the drain plug, but only 250ml oil came out :confused:
So I wondered where the rest could be and opened the right engine cover. And there it was! I then refilled the engine with 2 litres of fresh oil, started it up and let it run for 10 minutes. I then drained the engine once more and again only some 250-ish ml came out.
So I wondered wether the oil pump worked at all. I removed the hose that connects the pump to the cylinder head and let the engine crank over. Only air was coming out of the hose. I then removed the oil pump cover.. and again only air was coming out when cranking over..

Does anybody have any idea what's the problem here? The pump itself seems to work, but it doesn't move oil :confused::confused:
 
Clogged right side filter screen? Blown pump seal? clogged drain passage in the sump?
 
I gave him at least that much credit, haha....

Yeah, you have to pull both drain plugs.
 
Also- it takes quite a bit of turning the engine over to finally see oil coming out of the upper banjo fitting at the cylinder.
 
God I feel stupid now. I've had the bike sitting in the garage for like 2 years and haven't touched it since. Thus I totally forgot that this engine has 2 drain plugs. And since the bike was on the stand I couldn't see the second plug. :rolleyes:

Also thanks Theo, I reassembled the pump, this did the trick.

I'll ride to the next beer garden now haha :cheers: Thanks guys :thumbsup:
