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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Small pop/smoke from throttle body

Just finished reassembling the bike, as far as i know everything is connected/plugged in properly.

Got the gas tank hooked back up, opened the fuel lines, and went to start it up. It attempted to turn over for a second than a loud pop/explosion cam,e from where i presume is the throttle body, along with a small amount of smoke. Did i just break something bad? I will be taking it back off tomorrow for a visual inspection. But if anyone knows what i just did and how to remedy it im all ears.

Also have a brand new battery, and fairly new spark plug. New battery made the startup sound faster and smoother compared to the old, but it wouldn't actually turn over.

The fuel in the tank is sort-of old, maybe out of its shelf life stored in the tank outside for a few months, could this cause it?


On a side note, when i fully unscrew the right hand side nozzle on the fuel tank, it starts to leak above the hose, so i screwed it bike slightly above fully open to stop that leak, did i choke it for fuel? and is there a seal/washer there i need to replace aswell, or is this normal
 
UPDATE -
Silly me did seal the throttle body to the engine itself, oopsy. The rubber seal slipped off on re assembly.

I DO still have an odd puffing noise coming from the air box? Every tick when trying to turn it over results in a little puff of air coming from it that didnt happen before. I havnt gotten it on yet, playing it safe until i know whats up. I replaced the fuel in the tank too, so it has new gas :)
