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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Anybody try the Honda CRF one-way clutch on their Husky

After nursing a screwed up back and now just getting over this damn flu,I decided to attack this problematic electric start on my '13 TXC 310.
I decided to order the Honda part and give it a try ,especially since it was only $53.70 delivered. I had already noticed the similarities in the flywheels when I had a customer's CRF250X in for an overhaul(I had just installed the updated gear kit when it came in).I also read about it working on the Husky because they both use Kokosun (sp?) ignitions.It is the same diameter in every aspect but the Honda uses a retaining clip on both sides to keep the one way bearing together,Husky only uses one. Question is that it fits snuggly into flywheel bore mainly from the slight protrusions from the clip and I am not sure if the clip could become dislodged-even though there is very minimal clearance between the flywheel side or the cover plate that keeps it in on the other side...any thoughts before I fire it up?The photos are from the original Husky part- the Honda part is identical in all attributes except for having 2 retainers(e'rings)-one on each side.side view.JPGering side.JPG opposing side.JPG
 
If its identical bar the clips try it, give it a turn by hand too see if it catches anywhere then crank it up
 
It fits in nicely...no binding noticed when spinning in freewheel and locks immediately when reversed by hand.Added a little oil to bearing surfaces then spun forward and reverse- no slippage as soon as you put in position to lock up. It appears that it's doing it's job! ....Since the original part fit somewhat snug inside flywheel and the only"slipping"(freewheeling) part during engine run condition is the large starter gear is true,it should work.I got a couple days before I can test so if anyone has any more thoughts on this,let me know.THANX
 
So it fits and should last longer than standard.
Give it a whirl and sell them as upgrade kits on ebay
 
fly1.JPGfree1.JPG ...so far so good! Just a little reference about the freewheel clutch from Honda...if you look at the two freewheels in the pic above,the Honda part is on top and has 2 e'clips and Husky had one.I was concerned about the inner nubs from the e'clips causing a fitment issue but upon further inspection of the flywheel mating area,I found a small groove cut on the inside(hard to see in second pic of flywheel - it appears black in photo)...this little groove allowed the inner e'ring to fall into place. I was going to file the nubs down like JoeDirt had done but am taking the gamble to see if this will work.Of course I don't know if all Husky's flywheels have this inner groove cut so you might check before deciding what works best for yours. Any problems arise ,I will let you know.
