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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Luke, I did a quick check online and found that your engine appears to have come with "Digital CDI (variable timing)". The key word in that quote is "variable", which makes me think there could be quite a range of timing settings. If you don't have manuals for it you could probably find links to free downloads on this site or elsewhere on the net.

Luke, I ran across this statement in the General (main) 96 610 no spark thread from Robertaccio: "I recall Up-Tite Husky doing a common issue repair to flywheel/rotor assembly because the magnets actually slip within their epoxy as an assembly screwing up the timing. Verify the that the magnets are solid to eliminate that possibility." Don't know if it would apply in your case or not.
