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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc NOT running rich but still lots if spooge??

Yellowfin

Husqvarna
A Class
So my '13 wr144 is running great, it bigs a bit only if i have been putting in the woods until it clears out. Lectron 36mm carb w/ms3 rod and ngk br9eg plug

Plug is a nice shade of mocha and bike starts first kick even cold.

The issues is that everything is cover in spooge at the end of my ride. Swing arm, caliper, liscense plate, rear fender.

I have been using motorex crosspower 2t at 40:1

Anyone have any ideas?? Also the motor never gets that hot, the pipe gets hot but not enough to burn like my kdx did

Thanks, love this little bike!'
 
Might try different oils. I never jet per spooge. Your bike runs great and the plug looks great so dont change that. 40:1 is right IMHO. Lots of trail ridden bikes spooge a lot because you are not wringing it out and getting the combustion / exhaust temps up. Some oils spooge far less than others. Might try some different oils and see if that helps.
 
Not sure about Motorex Crosspower, but you might try a lower flash point oil like AMSoil Intercepter @50:1
Using "racing" oil to trail ride could cause excess spooge
 
Yes bike does smoke as all 2 strokes do, its no my crank seal as im not losing any oil at all.

It really only smokes bad when its loaded up

I hope it is OK to post a thread from another forum. I was just doing some research on this last eve and came across this list of 2 stroke oils and their respective flashpoints. I personally use Maxima K2. The flashpoint of Motorex Cross Power is actually pretty low and very close to Maxima K2. I used Motul 710 in the past, I believe it is OK for auto-injectors and as I recall it poured really thin - nothing scientific about that though. Motul 800 does have a high flashpoint and might not be best for slower trailwork. Anyway, I thought the list was pretty comprehensive and worth sharing.
 
I use amsoil interceptor at 50:1 with minimal oil leakage.

Only issue is that I have to order it from amsoil direct. Can't find it around here.
 
Good info here already and it is an exhaustgas temperature thing, unless you ring it's neck and keep the powervalves open 90% of the time you will need a very low flashpoint oil to not get at least some unburnt oil. I use Klotz R50 at 32:1, flashpoint of 550 deg, with no spooge, for comparison.

If your bike is loading up, you may need to change your jetting. My orange bike was loading up on long downhills. went 1 clip leaner on the needle and I think 1/4 turn out on the airscrew.

i use klotz super techniplate that has some castor and i know its a higher flaspoint as well. very little spooge, but my header is sealed to the jug with orange rtv. never notice much at the silencer on any of my bikes. they get run but also get long downhills and tight trails at times. never really notice a need to clear them out after technical sections, especially with the lectron 360
