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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc '92 WXC360 Petcock Question

Hi,

I picked up my first ever Husky a 1992 WXC360 over the weekend and have a question about the fuel petcock. It has two outlets; one goes to the carb (as I would expect) and the other goes in the opposite direction and is capped off. I am not sure what the purpose of this capped of path is. While in the "on" position fuel flows to the carb and not to this alternate capped off path. If I move the lever to "reserve" fuel flows to this capped off path.

Worked great to check the gas in the tank, but I am niot sure what it is really for or if it effects the bike when I need to go to reserve.

Any of you Husky owners know about this?
 
It goes to a hose and then to the other side of the gas tank so you get every last drop instead of having to lean the bike to the left to get the gas from right side of tank.
 
Ah - ok so I will need to take a closer look at my tank to find the other side. Right now it is capped off at the petcock and goes (or comes from nowhere) so if I ran out of fuel I would need to lean my bike over to get the fuel from the right side. Sounds like I need to find the outlet on the other side of my tank and run a new line.

Thanks for the info!

The outlet is on the petcock, there should be 2 places to attach fuel line. One line goes in (from the other side of the tank) and one goes to the carb. There are even arrows on the petcock if you look closely.
 
Went out and took a look. it appears that there is a block-off plate where that right side tank outlet would be.
