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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st plug fouling

just completly rebuilt my 00 wr 360, put everything back to stock jetting, runs fine feels a tad rich but everytime I go to ride it after its been sitting a while (i.e. between weekends) it won't start. I pull the plug and sure enough its fouled. However it nevers fouls when I'm riding even when I'm idling along for long periods? Ive never come across this before, am I right on the cusp, I'm running at 32:1 for the run in just as the manual states, any ideas
 
Could you post a pic of your plug? Is it wet from gas or all spooged up from oil? Put a new plug in it and go ride it and do a plug check afterwards.

you can tell alot from how the plug looks. 32:1 sounds a liitle rich for mixture.
 
Castrol TTR, the mixture is as the manual states for run in, I might try one hotter plug, what does dry fouling normally indicate?
 
I always have and always will run 32:1 and I don't foul plugs.
Jet for the ratio, don't change the ratio for the jets!

All 3 of my smokers and my weedwacker get the same drink from the same can and I rarely foul plugs (once a year maybe...). Makes life easy and provides adequate lubrication to their lower ends. Jetting the carb is much easier than rebuilding/replacing cranks and bearings.
