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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Ive had a husky (2000 husqvarna sm610) for a few years now but 2 years something went wrong and it just sat in the garage. So this year I decided to have a crack at fixing it. I've established that the oil leak is from the generator side. I've removed the outer casing and I have the flywheel puller from husky, but'!! How do you stop the flywheel from turning I've tried a few ways but I just can't get it to stop? Any ideas please
Lastly, the relay at the front any idea where to get one from? I've tried ebay but no joy, are they generic?
 
Some people take off the clutch side cover and jam the gears with a rag. What I done was held the flywheel with a large set of water pump pliers. What's wrong with yours? I have a 2000 sm610 too with the dellorto carb. While you have the flywheel off check your magnets are secure I had one come loose and it wasn't pretty. Bits of magnet everywhere. Lol
 
There is a tool used to hold the crankshaft still while you're using the puller. "Clutch holder tool."

Most of us use two pennies between the gear teeth of the clutch basket and crankshaft.

if you want the pennies to made from copper they have to be from pre early 80s ;)
 
Modern zinc pennies are malleable enough that they won't damage the gear teeth, and still hard enough to stop the crank from turning. :)
