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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

It starts up no problem cold with the choke. But once I turn the choke off it dies. I let it warm up like I normally do, but know it just dies when I turn the choke off. No sputter, it just cuts off. On a side note, I noticed that while idling my header pipe started glowing. I've never noticed that before, maybe it always did. Would this have anything to do with it? It actually strated glowing pretty fast.

The last thing I did was add a hour meter, but I tested that when I first installed it with no problem. This is the first time I started my bike in about 2 weeks. Had some fuel in the tank, but added more just to be sure it wasn't a problem. It also started warm with the choke on. But couldn't get it to go warm with the choke off. Thanks in advance for the help.

Cheers,

Los
 
It sounds like the pilot is plugged. Mine was acting similar to that when I got it, the pilot was plugged solid.

Later,
 
Thanks guys, I'll give it a look. Is it pretty easy to get the carb out? Never really messed with carbs before. Is there any step-by-step procedure out there? I know the manual has some info, but it just says to drain it and undo the clamps, but I thought id would have to do a little more than that. SUch as removing the throttle cable somehow. Thanks again. Cheers!
 
need to make sure the mixture screw has not fallen out from the cab bottom.if still there as others have said, remove carb and clean pilot jet.dan
 
Thanks Dan, I'll be sure to double check that. What I did notice (prior to all of this) was a piece of my vent line tubing laying on the floor. It is about a 1/2" in length and was wider on one side than on the other. It looks like it belongs on a nipple or a splice/union....I don't know. I checked around the carb to see where it came from, but didn't see anything unusual. I'll try and get a picture up of it.
 
Then that's not vent line tubing. It's a cover that goes over the leak jet screw. You can get by without it.
 
Update:

Thanks to everyone that chimed in

It was indeed a dirty jet. I fired her up, turned off the choke and she was purring like a kitten
