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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Trouble starting 2008 TC510

I've owned and raced my TC510 since it was new. It was always reliable and would start in a couple of kicks, even when hot. Last fall I started having trouble getting it started, and eventually it wouldn't start at all. Over the winter my Husky mechanic couldn't get it started, he cleaned the carb and it started right up. I trailered it down to Georgia from Canada this March and when there I couldn't get it started. After maybe 30 kicks, it would start. It would occasionally backfire when kicking it. Sometimes it would start in 2 kicks, but mostly it would take 30 plus kicks. If it were warm forget about getting it started. When started it would run strong until I shut it down. When I returned home, I brought it back to the mechanic. I talked to him today and he said the bike starts every kick, whether it's warm or cold. He can't figure it out; he checked the valves, jetting, and carb, and everything is good. What could be causing this intermittent problem, a once reliable bike is becoming a real headache.
