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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

What is this part?

Ok I noticed today while trying to find the location of an oil leak around the crank case that I have a hose without a hose clamp. I can tell that it is missing a clamp because I can see the indentation on the hose from a clamp that used to be there. Also the fitting the hose connects to is loose where it enters the cylinder head. So according to the parts manual it is on page # 26 and is part # 23 and is called simply "union"? What does this do? Should I be concerned that it is loose in the metal cylinder head and has no hose clamp in place? I am assuming it is not good but what would it cause by being loose? Any help would be great. Sorry if unclear not sure how else to describe it.
 
That is the vent off of the cylinder head, the hose goes to the airbox. Yes it can pivot. There was a cheap clamp on it from the factory, you can put whatever you like on it or not.
 
Cool. Thanks for the help. I found another thread about it after I posted. Seems like most lock them down with epoxy or loctite or something. So how loose is too loose?
