  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 leaking carb

i developed this problem recently. the carb is leaking at the overflow hose on the ground when the petcock is on or on res. does anyone know a quick solution before i start to tear apart the carb? the carb is a pwk on my wr250. it's only a couple of months old so I don't think it's a dirt issue.
 
it could easily be a dirt issue if you ever took the tank off and weren't very careful where you set it. or it could just be the float level set a bit too high.

the fix is to take the carb off, take the float bowl off, remove the little float valve stopper and make sure it's not got dirt or scunge stuck in there, check the level and possibly set it a teensy hair lower if it's too high. it sounds more complicated than it is. If you haven't done it before and you can find someone experienced nearby to supervise you in exchange for a 6-pack of decent beer, that would be a good idea.
 
yeah it took it off and cleaned it all out. and i also set the float lower too while i had it apart. seems to be fine, holding fuel.

fire up the bike tommorrow and see how it went. don't want to wake up the neighbours.
