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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

While waiting on the air filter to dry need to find out what I may have done in the process of filter removal.

Started out with battery over the side as pictured in the manual.

Positive battery cable connection at starter solenoid was in the way. It felt like I might tear the filter on it. Also the harness that clips together near the filter wing nut was in the way.

Disconnected the harness.

Disconnected the positive cable at the battery.

Tried to loosen positive cable at solenoid to rotate it and must have touched the other bolt on the solenoid. Got an arc.

So I just took the battery completely out and got the filter out. Reconnected both battery cables while the filter is drying.

What damage could I have caused by the arc?
 
Left a burn mark on wrench.
Grounding with ring will tattoo your finger.
That's how you start it when solenoid is bad just jump across it.
Nothing hurt just don't do it again, but you will we all do.
Later George
