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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE 250 Locked up engine, first time, help

well now Iv'e talkt to an husky expert, he told that the previous owner probably has pulled the front sprocket with machine
or been driving with the sprocket to loose. When you do that the part on the drive shaft thats pushing on the inner bearing ring breakes and the axle will be moving and tighten :-(

i Think everyone of you know how fun it is to change that axle :/

Now i got it! I had the front sprocket taken off, and the axel were still heavy to spin, i added 1 dl oil and it was standing idling for 2 minutes. Then the axel was spinning just as easy as before! Well happy as i was i retightened the sprocket and put the chain back on, then the axle was heavy again. :doh:

So, i unscrewed the drive shaft nut just a bit, and it spins easy again. What is this?

On my gasgas there´s only a locking ring, thats nice :D

I had the same problem and realized the o-ring behind the spacer on the shaft wasn't seating properly. I used a pick to reposition it, re-torqued and all was well.

well, the mechanic guy were right. The axle was busted. Costed me approx 300 euros. Thats cheap! :-)
 
A friend of mine broke his countershaft too. Remember this bike likes a loose chain!

Too bad you are not in the U.S. as I have a spare in a box. In fact I have his old motor less the head.

I wish I had seen this thread earlier. I would have told you no more than 6NM on the cam cap bolts!

Before you put it back together consider buying some longer cam cap bolts and putting slightly longer heilcoils in the semi-stripped cam cap holes, or just tap them a little longer and use the longer 5mm bolts. You can see there are 2 lengths of 5mm bolts, long ones and short ones. I bought extra long ones and cut half the extra length off and tapped the short holes a little longer...about 2mm if I remember. measure befor you tighen them down lest they might bottom. There is room in the head for deeper threads. Maybe that will save your semi-stripped threads.

I went 6mm max torque on the cap bolts.
 
Imagine what would have happened if the broken part of the shaft would have gone bananas in the gearbox! :-S No pretty sight probably :-D

The semi stripped threads in the head are fixed! The mechanic Helicoil´d the camshaft covers! :-)
