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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc 2010 WR300 fuel petcock - have I stuffed it?

G'day guys,

I'm in the process of fitting an IMS tank to my 300. Here's a few photo's of the fuel petcock after I was trying to replace the top filter further down the brass pipe, but obviously got a bit carried away.

How stuffed is that top filter?
Do I need to have it on - what if I run an inline filter prior to the carby? The brass fitting doesn't want to budge any further down.
Also, the stock tank didn't seem to have a petcock o-ring? Either that or I've managed to loose it. IMS didn't include one with the new tank (even though it's listed in the parts list). What are the chances of not needing one?

Other than that minor issue, the tank looks great and seems to slot into place pretty easily - although I haven't tried to bolt everything down yet
 
You will need an o-ring in that groove in the petcock. Most of the trash lives in the bottom of the tank, so you may be ok with the top filter bungled.

I like running a fuel filter.. It's a Visu-Filter.. Got mine from Scott Rocher but also available at Dennis Kirk: Part # 180204

Actually quite amazing what can collect in it.. Also a good visual check if you forgot to add oil (my gas turns red).. :thumbsup:
