• 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 New Ethanol Gas is crazy bad for bikes! Just stepped son up to a TTr 90-(I know is not a Husky! All in due time). Bike had sat for a few years as a friends son outgrew it! Wow this carb was terrible, 4 weeks of messing with it, cleaning it out, Taking it apart, soaking it, Replacing Jets, parts, replacing the petcock, float bowl gasket etc. And lets not forget the $100 co-pay at the ER to get the Carb Cleaner Flushed from my eye!! I guess we all should be using a Stabilizer of some sort I am worried for my EFI in the husky for over the winter months! Just Thought I would Share my experience! He is Buttoning it back up!

Another vote for the Stabil Marine (blue formula). I use it in all my bikes. I also drain the carb on the bike after I come home from a ride.
 
ok I will check out the blue Sta bil, I have used the red one for years but will give the blue a look! thx! All!
 
The blue one is best for attacking the ethanol in fuel. I've got a big bottle of red that I've just been overdosing on my old cars I don't drive much.
 
On the kids' bikes, I drain the fuel from the carb after every ride. Happily, they have a handy screw-valve to do this. I grab my tupperware dish, drain the fuel into it, and dump it into the gas tank. The small bikes with their tiny jet sizes will clog up after just a few weeks. I wish my full-size bikes had a valve like this, because I would do the same thing for them. It's just so messy to drain via the main jet access nut.
