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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

PLEASE HELP ME :(

Hi, I've recently acquired a Husqvarna 2010 TC 250.
When it starts it runs for roughly 7-10 seconds and cuts off instantly, it doesnt slowly idle away it just shuts off.
A few of my mates and myself had a look at the shims and cleaned them, they were fine. We're thinking it's possibly the timing?
I'm just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem and if they could help?
Not too mechanically minded when it comes to bikes so I'm kind of desperate. Anyone?
 
Fuel, spark, and compression are what an engine requires to run. When it dies, does it start right back up? If not, check that it's getting spark and fuel.

Some more information would also probably be helpful. Can you get it to run if you rev it up? Does it do this hot and cold? Does it restart right away after it dies or does it become impossible to start?
 
If you really want a better internet prognosis - post a video of it running (well and not running) on Youtube and post a link. Sometimes odd sounds will spark some specific advice.
 
I would say forget the timing angle unless someone did something to change it till we go a little further ...

My bikes acts sort of like that when they set too much and the CARB gets a little fouled up ... That would be yesterday... And after several times of the bike starting and dying, it finally cleared up and ran and I put new gas in the tank.

Does the bike ever start and run even if you have to play with the throttle to keep it running?
 
Sounds like an air intake leak or crack to me. Also another item to check is your exhaust. Make sure there are no little critters nesting in the muffler...
 
This subject would probably get more action in the Italian 4 stroke section.....especially with the vague title.
 
I had the same bike and similar problem. I invested a few bucks in a carb jet cleaner index. Runs and idles perfect. Had another bike cut out only when hot. That problem was the stator. One more idea. You check the float height?
