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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Need Help With Jetting

I bought a 1994 husqvarna wxe250 without exhaust chamber or silencer. I redid topend and bike started from first kick. Couldn't find stock exhaust chamber so bought a Procircuit chamber off a 2000 husqvarna cr250 and after little work got it to fit perfectly. Bike got way harder to start and won't keep running without throttle and smokes alot probably due to mix ratio 32.1. I'm not familiar with jetting and not sure which size I will need. Currently have 370 main and 35 pilot.
 
I would start with what the OEM called out.
32:1 properly jetted will be fine and is a good ratio. But again I would baseline to OEM everything. This does include the carb itself, needles wear, slides wear etc. freshen everything. You need to baseline the machine.
 
Again baseline- dig around on the internet for parts manual or owners manual for OEM jetting specs. Clean your carb (again, pilot may have debris) , verify reeds (big cause for bad idle), verify your PV linkage is correct, fresh plug fresh fuel 32:1 is fine, once all the fuel stuff appears good verify spark, check all connections etc etc etc basic troubleshooting step by step
