  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 310R metal flakes on drain plug

I bought a month ago another TE 310R 2013, a really special one this time. I have it started only for 5 minutes on day one and since It ran a little poor (like an air leak, lean) and that I saw very little oil from the sight glass I decided to stop and take care of her. Started from deep wash, cleaning and greasing with dielectrical grease all the connectors, cleaning and greasing every bearing and seal (still have to do the front end ) and shimmed the valves to spec. Yesterday with the bike back on wheels I've drained the oil for the first time and the magnetic drain plug didn't even come down from the amount of metal flakes that were attached. These metal flakes are strange, however, because they don't look like bearing parts or gearbox parts: they are magnetic but if I hold them in my fingers they break so they are not pieces of steel nor aluminum because they would not have been captured. the same flakes were found on the stator pick up. The oil filter and the oil pump prefilter were free of these. They are black and, even if I cleaned them with gasoline, when I smash them between my fingers they dirty them with black. According to you where they can come from?
