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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

FE/FC Smr450 cam problem

Husq10

Husqvarna
A Class
Hi, I have recently bought a project Husqvarna supposedly sm 450 rr, (could be te engine tho atleast cylinder was) I tore the water pump with shaft off (I was replacing the pump and seals) and didnt know at the time that the timing chain gear is holded in place by that shaft so had to do timing again .

Now the problem I noticed, that inlet cam didnt spin as freely as exhaust, it seemed like there was some resistance, it wouldnt spin compleatly smooth and seemed to have a "click" feeling to it after each small rotation. Mind I havent taken the camshaft off at any point, only thing I did, was wiggle the water pump shaft out. Is this normal on these bikes and should I be worried? I put the timing back on and engine seemed to spin normally, but I dont have issue tearing it apart again.

Sorry for my english
