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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE350 - 610 conversion: wiring issues?? Can anyone help?!

My 1994 TE350 has been sat at the back of my garage for about 10 years now after it spat its crank out the bottom of the engine. The intention has always been to drop a 610 engine in when I had time / money.

I recently found a 1999 610 engine on ebay and so bought it along with the carbs and exhausts on the understanding it would just plug straight in to the existing wiring.

Having got the engine in, I cant now get a spark.

The wiring on the bike (although a bit sliced and spliced) was ok before the engine went pop so I am assuming it is ok now.

I have no idea whether the wiring in engine / generator is ok, but am assured by the guy who sold it to me that it worked fine.

Are there any tests that I can do on the CDI/Coil unit to check it works ok?

Like wise are there any tests I can do on the engine / generator wiring to check that also works ok?

One of the problems is the wire colours...

The wires coming out of the engine / generator are: Yellow, Black, White, Green, Red.

The wires coming out the back of the CDI / Coil are Green, Blue, Red, Orange, Black.

So far I have been able to connect:

- Red CDI to Red engine
- Black CDI to Black engine
- Green CDI to Green engine
- The yellow engine wire is of the same gauge as the wire going to the ignition switch so I have connected them together

This leaves the White engine wire "free" as well as the Blue and also the Orange CDI wires.

I have tried connecting them in different orders but still no spark.

Can anyone tell me which of the wires the White engine one connects to and also what should happen with the remaining "free" wire coming out the back of the CDI?

I have downloaded and looked at the manual but it doesnt seem to be the same and all of the colours are different?!

Any assistance, help or advice is greatly appreciated. I have also posted in ADV and in Thumper Talk so apologies for the repetition, but looking to try the biggest audience possible..

Cheers

You have 2 different ignitions between the 1994 (SEM) and 1999 (Ducati). I would use the the SEM stator off of the old motor is possible.
 
Hey. Many thanks for coming back to me on that. Greatly appreciated.

I have got the flywheel puller on order now so will hopefully be able to swap them around this weekend.

Someone was telling me that the SEM pumps out more juice than the Ducati system but is less reliable... Is this true? If so would I be better upgrading my entire system to Ducati at some stage?

Cheers,

Byron
