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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Use 2007 motor in 2008 frame with FI

Hi guys,

The motor in my 2008 Husky 610SM is shot and the dealer wants $3500 to rebuild the whole thing (cylinder, piston, valves, gears, etc.). I am wondering if I find a 2006 or 2007 motor from a carbed model if I can use that in my 2008 and use the fuel injection from the my 2008 model. I am thinking that as long as the throttle bodies are the same size then I should be good, but perhaps there are other consderations . . .?
 
Where are the sensors mounted for the efi .They got a crank angle sensor or flywheel pickup?
You my get lucky and be able to swap on parts from your efi to the carb motor for sensors or maybe not.
Sorry not much help .Conversions always bring something unexpected but can be rewarding
 
Bumping this up. My 2008 610 with FI has been sitting in my garage for 3 years without a motor. I am starting to look for a motor again and wondering if anyone know if a 2007 or 2006 can be dropped in.
 
WickedWill is on the right track. As far as I know there's nothing structural/mechanical that'll be at issue (engine/frame mating) but the more likely issue lies in the electronics (the wiring harness, and where the connectors are, what they are, and what their reach is, etc.) I can't imagine it'll be that difficult to surmount, but as he's pointed out there are always going to be unexpected issues. Perhaps looking at the parts diagrams of the two bikes will be helpful.
