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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Only runs with the choke on.

Cleaned up my TC250 and installed a complete Leo Vince system, along with an "8" series plug. It started right up with two primer twists of the throttle and the choke on. Warmed it up for a bit, turned the choke off and it died. :excuseme:

Choked it again and it fired right up. Hmm, let it warm with the choke a little longer, shut it off and it died again. Won't start or run unless the choke is on.

Seems to run fine with the choke on, but if I turn the throttle up to the point where it will stay running with the choke off, it stars this wild lean popping.

Plugged pilot jet? Pipe and plug change need a bigger pilot jet?
 
The pilot jet was plugged. Problem is I was trying to clean it out with compressed air and carb cleaner, and ended up launching it across the shop like a bullet. :eek:

Been looking for a while now and can't find it. :banghead:
 
Get the kids, or your neighbor kids to help you look. They excel at finding things like that. :)
 
Feel your pain in another way. Testing my brand spankin' new Oberon Bar end mirror yesterday before final torque and launched the thing shifting to 4th on the pave. Can't find the adapter bushing and of course bruised the housing.
 
LOL. Can we turn this into "crap we've lost off our bikes in the past few days" thread?

I sent my damper to Kelly for a refresh... I figured the best way to keep from losing the mounting screws would be to just put them back in the mount.... I got the damper back, and now the screws are gone. son of a monkey...
