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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Red Hot! New Owner 2003 TE610 Help Please!

I just bought a 2003 TE610 with 1300 miles on it. It was garaged for many years and not ran. So I changed plug, oil, coolant, battery, fuel, and cleaned carb the best I could. The problems I am having is the exhaust pipes are turning red hot very fast, a slight pop out of exhaust at deceleration, revs up great at idle but as soon as you kick it into gear and accelerate it wants to shut off. I really have to ride clutch and a lot of throttle to advance forward, after a short distance that goes away until the bike completely cools down. So...What have I found? Pulled new pug out, looks ok to me but might be leaning toward the lean end. Which might explain the red pipes. Also where the mufflers slip on the exhaust pipes there is some black residue and exhaust gas is slightly leaking at those unions. I just don't understand why it would be running lean or rich...the air screw has silicone over it for epa regs so I know it has not been adjusted from factory. This is my first Husqvarna and I need some help. Perhaps its just the nature of the machine. I so hope it is not the valves. Help Please!
 
I'd order a new slow jet and turn the air screw out 1/2 turn. I've fought this battle many times, sometimes you can clean the slow jet, sometimes it looks clean but doesn't flow right.

Thank you very much for the advice. I will do just as you suggested and post the results. May take a few days for shipping. Anything else you have ran into or can think of that would help me out would be great.
 
they are lean new to pass emissions, make sure the idle circut is clean, if not it wont run right.
try turning the idle mixture screw to see if it speeds up and slows the idle, if no differance its clogged. aftermarket makes mixture screws you can turn easily by hand.
i've found that a jet kit makes a big improvement.
 
remove the silicone over the mixture screw so it can be adjusted.replace the pilot jet in carb as yours is clogged making the bike run lean causing pipes to glow red.should have bout a # 60 pilot jet.order a carburator emulsion tube like the kickstart te model for better overall carburation.get a set of twin mufflers from the regular kickstart only te as they flow exhaust better.dan
 
Ok....Sorry for the delay/shipping. It seems fixed! Here is what I did. Removed silicone over the mixture screw, replaced the pilot jet from a 50 to a 55, replaced float needle, and moved the clip on needle in slide into slot 3 from slot 2. Cranked up, no red pipes, no sluggishness at lift off, and no popping at deceleration! Only time will tell, but thanks to all the help from everyone.
