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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE410E/TE610E ignition CDI - Help & Info

Just generic stuff, and not much of it. Can't remember the brand, but it was one of those so-called grey "metal" epoxies, with an operating T° of about 150. I didn't case all the windings. Used captan tape for that, and then just put a few blobs to secure the whole thing. I'd do it a bit more professionally now, if I had to do it again!

Anyway, it's still working, although I have now manged to get a replacement alternator very cheaply, so will probably switch back to that. I prefer not to have a transformer that might get a soaking in a puddle on the enduro.

However, I currently seem to be collecting the parts to build a 610 SM, I'd have no qualms putting my makeshift patent stator into that!
 
Incidentally, if anyone knows what the type of the 3-phase connector is please let me know!
Since it only has 3 pins I checked to see if it is from the same Sumitomo series that the coil & excitor wires use (the 4 pin one), which I mentioned above, but it is not!
Quelle surprise...

I'll add a photo tomorrow.
 
Great thread and work, shame this website isn't more active. I think if you posted this at advrider.com you would have got a lot more interest and input. I was actually searching for the generator casing gasket and your pic of yours came up, but decided to read the whole thread, not that I could understand most of it!
