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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
...Then take your bottom overflow tube, when all your jetting is done, up over your vent hose bracket then down.
This saves on fuel consumption.
really? weird. that basically nullifies the operation of the overflow tube/carb drain. Of course it still acts as another vent as long as there is no liquid in the line.
Is this part of the float adjustment you were mentioning above (6-7mm rather than 8mm) so you can externally check the float height maybe?
I guess I do not understand what this accomplishes or how it works. Dartyppyt, can you edjumacte me? thanks.

...I also cut my bottom hoses at steep angle or split them so mud and dirt don't get stuck in end of tubes.
