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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Why does bike not start after I have tried to start it with bung in exhaust?

2013 Txc 310 will not start at all after pressing starter and forgetting to take bung out? It must of only been 5 or 10 seconds... It also stinks of fuel...

Anybody?
 
Well, in the old days, we'd tie a rope to a car and pull the bike around, compression starting it, until it gave up and started running.
 
Thanks for the info.:)

Why would the plug be knackered?

And what happened when I left de bung in the end of pipe? Canna get my head around it?

Cheers
 
fuel squiring in and no way out. EFI was probably totally confused as well. Plug might be fine.
 
So unlike a carb which needs a good suck to get it to squirt...fuel, Injection doesn't, just squirts away and floods the shit out of everything! Without any sucking going on. Is that right?

There is more to this than meets the eye. Haha
 
Sorted. Thanks Mr Motospartz for your help...

She be a bitch sometimes to start. Got to get the amount of throttle just right and easily floods...
 
My advice is to not use the bung period as it's all too common to forget to take it out, and for the reasons below. If folks are truly honest the only purpose it serves is to provide that "fighter plane on the tarmac" look. Not worth it. Sure, it can prevent water from getting in the pipe if you wash the bike (it's just easier to avoid a direct spray) and prevent debris from "falling into the pipe" (though I've never understood that one) and, finally, it just seems to me a fine way to cause/trap condensation inside the pipe, thereby increasing the likelihood of interior rust/corrosion. Really anything that'll "fall" in there incidentally (be it a little overspray from washing or this mysterious debris) will be blown out on start-up anyway.
