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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

or I should say it wont!
This is a buddies bike with maybe 5 hours on it. He wont ride it because he cant start it! I've gone through the carb with a good cleaning as it sat. replaced cracked intake manifold from sitting and the last guy that muscled the carb out. It ran pretty good after jump starting, but I went ahead and put a JD Kit in it as it still wouldnt start and now the bike really has come to life....when you finally can get it brought to life!
The enricher (choke) seems to not be working at all, I'll pull it out (activate) after the bike's warm or even hot with absolutely no effect on performance. My FCR carb on my YZF has a brass valve in the back of the enricher's port. This Husky has what appears to be a much smaller port drilled to the float bowl. I don't understand the spec Husky has with Keihin, but I'm thinking they don't have it right. Anybody have a fix or perhaps want to pull their hot start knob out and give me a visual of what you see? perhaps it was FUBAR from Keihin??
The first photo is the YZ's and the second shows the Husky (port just lower right of red hot start knob). Notice the substantial difference is design. Your input is appreciated!

Well maybe I'm coming across like I know there's a problem in the design. I honestly don't know what the problem is and why I'm asking in this forum. The vent port hole from the bowl to the enricher chamber is clear, but perhaps it's a vapor lock or even an vacuum leak that's forbidden the fuel to syphon? Could the o-ring on the slide plate be at fault, the pumper gives me a squirt but is there something else I should check?
