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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

i have a husky wxe 250 when i brought it it was running but was rough with no power i rid it about 3 miles then it cut out and wouldnt start
i stripped the carb cleaned it twice
new air filter and plug the spark is very bright and when you take the plug out its wet with fuel so it must be getting fuel and it is sparking
its full of compression but isnt even trying to start it doesnt cough or anything just turns over ???
any ideas appreciated
 
up date it know start but immediatly revs up to the oint where its nearly blows up i have to stall it
 
My 125 revs up when it starts... I just keep pushing the kill button to keep it under control. Once it runs like this for a minute or so, it runs properly. Did you check your reeds? Could be running lean due to an air leak ... cracked boot or perhaps something in the carb.
 
i havent checked reeds or anythink in the engine carb is well clean know cleaned it 4 times bathe in petrol all night im praying its not then engine as i dont have the funds to fix it and the parts are hard to come across
i want to play with lean and rich but dont understand how to do this
 
Sounds like a vacuum leak.... I have an 09 wr250 that I accidentally tore the intake boot removing the carb (or re-installing it) and it acted the same way....
