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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Pilot plugged? Even some gooey pre-mix will effect it. Gas usually evaps and leaves mix oil in carb if it wasn't drained.

Check for a broken flywheel woodruff key, flywheel could have slipped.

Had both those on the 78 390WR. When I bought it, it would start .... eventually ! Backfiring as it tried. Cleaned the carb out and that was solved.
Would not rev out. That was the woodruff key broken. As luck would have it, the flywheel had spun that hard it friction welded itself back to the crank 1mm from where it should have been. It was at that point I decided to rebuild the motor. That was 8 years ago, it's still sweet now. Not that it gets used much.
