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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The mysterious spring (need help)

My 2001 TE610's engine has been in parts for a year now. Due to circumstances i just had no time for it. I few days ago i picked it up again, put the engine together and left with a spring i cant remember.

I could not find a exploded view of the 2001 version, but a found them in online manuals of the 1995 TE610 and 2004 TE570. No such spring to see.

So maybe it is from a lathe a had rebuild and cant remember it anymore. Until i saw a picture in an advertisement of a company selling used Husqvarna parts at Marktplaats, a dutch kind of Craigslist or Ebay.

And that was this picture, according to the seller from a 1995 TE610.

And there is the spring again. The as the one i have. I recognize the gears and the are all from the clutch side.

Well my question is simple, where does this spring belong? Can someone tell me?
 
Pfffeew.... As least i dont have to take of the cylinder and split the engine again. This is about 10 minutes of work. Thanks for your quick reply.

It was a hot day today, to hot to work in my even hotter workshop. Inside it was 40 degrees celcius. So i stay under the sealing fan in my home and start to read the 1995 manual. This spring is mentioned 1 time, but no pictures or clear exploded views. I stil have the manual of my 1984 and 1987 Yamaha YZ 125. They are far better described and detailed. The Japanese show exploded views of even the smallest details. With my Honda XR 250R it was the same. The Italians should spend a little more attention to this. Maybe KTM does nowadays.

Thanks again.
