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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Need help with spark plug

Got a 88 510tx and got a new spark plug but it won't start, is there a wire that connects to the spark plug to the plug boot?

There's got to be a better answer then that.

Correct, there is. But to be honest I'm not sure what the question is?

There is a high voltage spark plug wire from the coil to the spark plug boot which contains a round piece of metal that when pushed down on the spark plug makes the connection.
 
This has got to be a joke if not take your bike to someone who knows what they are doing. Not trying to be mean but somethings are better off left to the pros.
 
That's not who I am. Through problems come learning followed by solutions. I will upload a picture of questionable areas.
 
Could be you're not pushing the boot down until the wire grips onto the plug. I'm not sure if that bike needs to have the screw-on (terminal nut) on the top of the plug or not. If it needs the terminal nut and it's not on the plug you won't get a viable circuit. If it doesn't need the terminal nut and the terminal nut is installed theres no way the spark plug cap will push on fully- also not a viable circuit.
 
Take your spark plug and push it into the boot, then lay it on the side of the cylinder where it may touch ground. See if you have a spark as you kick the engine over.
