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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

hi ive been running in my rebuilt cr250 engine just taking it relativly easy but there is oil leaking from the small sprocket i removed the sproket to find that the seal was completely wrecked ????? when i built the engine i used new seals new sprocket new spacer and a new o ring any ideas guys???
 
When you put the seal on did it go on ok or was it very tight? Maybe you were given the wrong part?
 
the chain was a little tight at first as it was brand new but quickly slackened off ??? maybe it was this

the seal was a nice snug fit pretty sure it was the correct one as the sizes were the same as stated in the parts list
 
still having problems with this again a new seal was fitted i took her for a spin for about 10 -15 mins and there is oil everywhere can anyone help?????????
 
Is the bearing on both ends of the shaft okay? Can you feel any play up, down,and side to side with seal removed? Do do have the internal o ring on the spacer? Does the bushing have grooves in it? How are you driving th seal in? Seal has to go int square. Are there any sharp edges on bushing when you push it in? Never overtighten your chain especially when its muddy, it puts a lot of stress on shaft. To me, think you are missing the o ring on the bushing/spacer that slides on shaft, between shaft and seal, or it is bad with grooves in it.

Thanks for replying ok here goes the o ring is there as is the spacer Yes there is play on the shaft when the seal and spacer is removed I was told this was normal?? Something is defiantly missing or wrong as the seal only lasts a couple of minutes): maybe I'll have to remove the engine and strip her down again
