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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE410 (2000 model) timing - any ideas?

Hi All,
After a long wait with the bike buried at the back of the shed while i race my newer Huskie, I've finally got round to putting the engine back together on the old TE410 (left kickstart only model) and once the engine was back together i found it kicks back like an old mule!
It never used to do that, so after a bit of tinkering i recon it's the timing being out...
But how do i set the timing?
The only maker I've found on the stator backplate has no corresponding mark on the casing...!
Is it just try it and see or is there a secret trick...?
Can anyone help?
I don't really want to keep kicking it over as it is because it REALLY hurts when it kicks back :-(
any advise greatly recieved
cheers

hi, ive got the same bike (2000 model) and the same problem (although we have not got as far as kicking it back up yet), the only mark we have found so far is on the top cam chain cog, did you have the whole engine in bits? do you remember if you saw any markings on any cogs at all? the mark you are talking about on the stator is actually at 12 oclock on the case, although when we lined those up it was nowhere near TDC?! i believe every model is different too.
 
Well if this helps anyone who may read this, what we have done is lined up that little punch mark on the top cam chain cog so its flush to the casing with the chain on and at TDC (using the straw etc technique), valves seem ok too. Will hopefully get to see if it starts tomorrow. I am quietly confident she will start because if it doesn't there will be a lit match flying towards it! Why is there so little info available for these things!
