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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Good afternoon all.

I've began stripping my Husky down as a winter project. (Bought non running)
This afternoon I began splitting the case only to find a lot of metal.
I knew there would be some as the screen was covered in metalic particals.
I've found a nice bent piece of metal but I'm not sure if its part of the engine or possibly part of the big end bearing. Can someone shed some light?

Also,
I have a little rubber piece which I'm not sure exactly where it came from. Can anyone enlighten me? (Pics below)

I thought I'd post this thread just so newbies such as me and others get a rough understanding of just what can happen if you don't maintain your engine.

Thanks

Webber

truth is no matter what expertise about the stray parts is given.....at this point you best do a complete Disassembly and rebuild. (thats no real help sorry) But when you find all sorts stray stuff that came apart you gotta get er apart, inspect and rebuild. Good luck there are a number disassembly threads around about the big single cammers (610s and 410s) Plus the parts catalog found on the Halls Husky website can aid with the exploded views of the engine and chassis components. As well as part numbers for the required fixit parts
 
Hi Rob,

thanks for your help.
I've stripped the entire engine and i'm in the middle of placing all vital parts.
I've had a look at other rebuild threads and i've yet to see anything which may even resemble this bent piece.
Soon i shall be sending the crank to have the con rod replaced and then hopefully i maybe able to find out if the mysterious piece is from within.

Until then does anyone have an idea or suggestion?

Many thanks

Just a guess, but usually those long stringey/springey stray steel parts are from bearings. Bearing cages or races.
 
Thanks gents,

I shall have to wait and see.
I e-mailed george at uptite and he thinks it could possibly be a retaining clip. - waiting for another reply.
I explained how all the clips were in their places unless i've missed one.
This piece is pretty hard to judge in the picture but it is about 2.5" in its bent form.
