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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

630 Airbox - Wake-up Call

I did not know mods needed to approve posts. Wow. Where's Coffee???? LOL
I don't get back to this forum too often - the whole world revolves around that other forum. He he.

If I recall correctly I just turned my battery around so the posts are towards the front. I didn't change cables are anything.

The backfire screen covers the opening of the intake plenum inside the airbox. It's behind the filter element. Mine gets a very light coating of very fine dust on it. I just wipe it off when I service the filter element. Someone really fussy might want to figure out how to stop any of that super fine dust from getting through. I figure it will just blow through the motor. Over thousand of miles it can wear intake valves though. I guess we'll see. <shrug> I'm fairly certain it comes through the flat element where the dirt concentrates at the snorkel inlet.
 
OK, now it's clear. I'll take a look to the backfire screen. So far, after 12.500km on my TE310 I've never seen dust on this element. May be (I'm not sure) because, as you, I also apply a line of heavy grease to the inside edge of the element where it contacts the housing. But may be it has to do with the fact that in TE630 dust concentrate at the snorkel inlet area. .Let's see...
