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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

It would appear to me from disassembling 1988 430 engines that is virtually what they used in them. That would lead me to tell you not to worry about the fuel issues. What you are showing is a normal 3205 or for some reason 5205 seems the same. Your bike would have come with an M series which is a maximum capacity bearing. Those bikes would have 14 balls per race and a loading slot to get them in there. I used an MRC one with a more reliable cage but only 13 balls (per row it is a double row) in mine. I use an electric heat gun to put the engines together and it may take me a few tries before I am happy with the placement of that bearing (how deep in the case) so I wouldn't use it. In some ways they improved the 87-88 and in some ways they got more economy minded.
