  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Fuel Petcock questions

I have a '08 WR250 with a fuel petcock issue. This weekend, it became clogged in the normal 'on' position. Flip it to reserve and everything is fine. So, before I drain the tank and pull this all apart (and break something), does anyone have a tip, trick or easy fix?
 
You can just take the tank off lay it on its side so fuel doesnt pour out and remove the petcock, you may find the long filter is blocked
 
Is there a trick for removing the fuel petcock? I am changing tanks on my 09 wr300, and I can't figure out how to remove the outer petcock from the inside filter part (the inside the tank part). Just pull is and wiggle, or is there another way? I already took off the two mounting screws, but the inside filter is attached to the outside petcock assembly somehow. Thanks. -Todd
 
I just figured it out. You just pull and wiggle it very carefully once it is unbolted. There is a long plastic filter inside that is connected to the petcock. It will fit through the hole in the tank where the petcock was bolted on if you are patient. Don't force it, the plastic is flimsy, and the petcock piece inside of it is brass, so it could easily snap if pulled at an angle. I hope this helps. Thanks. -Todd
 
Thanks Todd, I'm still running mine on reserve. I'll take mine apart in the next week or two...
