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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Please Help Me Identify The Bike I Just Bought

Hi guys,

I got a great deal on an old husky! It ran really good but was difficult to start (almost broke my leg :thumbsdown:) and it burned a lot of oil. But for the few miles I did test drive it :notworthy:. So I decided to do a top-end rebuild.

The guy I got it from told me it was a TE610, and from the power it showed I think that is correct, but I am not sure. I am hoping one of you guys can help me identify the exact type and year so I can find parts and workshop manual!

Unfortunately I lost my phone and the pictures from before I started the tear down are also lost with that. So i can only post partially teardown pictures, The bike has a left kick (kick only). The bike has wiring for lights but i don't think a battery. The carb is a delorte PHM 40 MS. The cam chain was unlike most I found online and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to loosen it, so I had to cut it with the Dremel. I did got papers with the bike, but I am 99.9% sure the papers are tampered with, but the serials seem to match. So I do not rule out a different engine in a different frame, but it doesn't look like that is actually the case to my eye and close examination.

If you guys need any more info or pictures, I will gladly deliver! Btw my guess/research indicates it is an 1991 TE610. I really want an accurate workshop manual because I lost al the teardown pictures together with my phone :). Please help me get this beast on the road again!

Hi, I did measure the piston. I measure about 97.4mm/3.83inch which looks to fit Rotax_655 his determination of a 610 TE 1991 !

Can anybody guide me to a 610 TE 1991 workshop manual? Maybe different bikes with the same engine? Because I have trouble finding one! Thanks guys!
 
[quote = "mathijs, post: 643290, membro: 67016"] Ciao, ho misurato il pistone. Misuro circa 97,4 mm / 3,83 pollici che sembra adattarsi a Rotax_655 la sua determinazione di un 610 TE 1991 !
