  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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-570 vs TE-610 cilinder head fit

The Old Husky

Husqvarna
A Class
Does anyone know if i can put a cilinder head from a pre 2000 TE-610 on a 2002 TE-570.

Why do i want that?

Well first, i am not a rich man, i just cant buy and buy and buy and buy like there is no tomorrow.

Second, a series of problems.

What Happen?

I have a 2002 TE-570 enige and build it into a motocross sidecar. The engine has the infamous Mikuni TNR??? I forgot te name and type, i am not close to the bike, i cant take a look now. But it is the infamous Japanse build carburator that is known for its brutal power delivery, yet a pain in the rear-end to get the settings properly.

To make it worse, the engine is tuned. It was like that when i bought it and frankly, i did not noticed this before i took the engine out the donor TE-570, motocross version. How do i know it is tuned?

1: the intake is 44mm, not 41mm.
2: the intake is clearly machined as it look different then the standard casting.
3: there is a small tuner logo/marking on the cilinder.

The problems:

1: the complete bike has been with the dealer for a while
2: the previous owner is forgotten / unknown
3: the tuner does not exist anymore. Literally.

What does the engine?

1: spark is perfect
2: timing is perfect
3: will start and run for about 5 or 6 cycles and then stop
4: every change in carburetor settings will result in doing nothing at all.

My problem:

Those pumps on the carburetor, power pumps, how do you call them? is a new technique for me, i am unknown whit this carburetors as they did not exist in my young years of motorcross and rally. (57 now)

What is want to try is is this:

I have a 2000 TE-610 supermoto with licence plate which runs fine. I have a second carburetor for it. A Dellorto PHM 41. I want to put a TE-610 cilinder head, a complete standard setup with all the valves and camshaft on the TE-570 engine and use that Dellorto carburetor. Then i can just copy the settings and jets from the supermoto. I want the sidecar to run.

1995 - 2000 used engine parts in very good usable condition are good available in the Netherlands, and for nice prices. This in contrary to an original and standard TE-570 cilinder head. There have not been much TE-570's on the marked here, but a lot of TE-610's.

Like i said before, there is no budget to keep buying carburators or complete engines. And even when, i still would do it this way. This engine must be able to run. On dutch fora i can't get an answer. I dislike dutch fora anyway. It's always the same story there, "you should have bought this or that". "Should" is history and nobody can turn back time. After 4 or 5 posts someone comes to insult you under the name of "just a joke" and the whole thing goes off topic to never return on topic again.

Short: can i use a TE-610 cilinder head, full standard setup, on my TE-560 engine?
 
Yes I think you can. Ben Van ERP in Markelo would definitely know. Just be sure to use a kickstart only model head.
