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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello! Have you checked your jetting? Fouling plugs does not have to do with the amount of oil you use only. I use 3% in my 300 and i never foul plugs. Take a look in the jetting database and compare with what you have, or write here and i´m sure the guys will help you out!

I have a WR 250 and what i thought was a fouled spark plug after about 100 miles of riding/racing WAS a spark plug that i had not gapped I tried everything in my search to find the problem from jetting ,timming,spark plug cap uriudium or stock plug did not make a difference after about 80 miles the problem would start when under full load in 4th or 5th under power the bike would flam out .well started to gap the plugs at 22 and so far it seems to have worked .Raced the first National hare and hound 2 weeks ago where i finished 2 nd 250 mag expert and the bike worked perfect for the full 100 mile race.Rode again about 50 miles over the weeken as still running fine This weeken is round 2 so i will let you know if it keeps working .I chased this problem for over a year but it looks like i might have got it fixed
i was always told not to cap the uridiun plugs but the people at NGK said to carefully cap them so i did .I have used both the stock and uridium plug and both work the same.Never had this problem in my CR 125 maybe it is because the the CR has a better set up then the WR
 
Hi Jase1
I had the same problem as you, please do look at my post in the 2t jetting data. The 250 has an issue with the float level being set too high from factory.
I reset my float level with some great resaults. I have not fouled a plug since.
Regards Col
 
thanks lads ive been mixin fuel at 25:1 witch lookin on here seems very rich but its wat dealer said to,jets are standard i will try 40:1 with fuel to start an go from there thanks again
 
Use an iridium plug, worth the extra coupla bucks, better starting, better spark, more efficient ignition
 
i find the iridiums are less forgiving if your jetting isnt 100%


haha extra couple of bucks?

My standard plug is like $1.50, iridium $20 +
 
bike failed again, but have now narowed it down 2 electrical fault so going to strip down at weekend and see if can sort it
