  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Power Valve Drain Tube & Plug? '06 WR125

Hey guys,

What's the story with this drain tube and plug that are coming off the power valve assembly on my '06 WR125?

Are you guys removing this plug completely? I'm assuming its supposed to catch excess spooge and you would remove the plug from time to time to drain it? Is the plug supposed to prevent water and dirt from entering the tube and traveling up into the power valve assembly?

I'm referring to the bottom tube coming off the PV assembly below.

It has this plug on the bottom of the tube:

Are you guys leaving the plug in the tube, or have you ditched the plug all together?

Thanks,

Ed
 
Most of us leave it plugged and drain every few hours. If you leave it open you will get spooge leaking out on most everything down wind of the tube. The older cylinders had a much larger circumference power valve that lets quite a bit of spooge/gasses past into the chamber. The lower vent collects the spooge, upper vent lets the gasses escape.
 
I was wondering too. My other Husky motors, 125, 144 & 300, were all plugged on the engine, no hoses.
My 165 has the hoses, but no plugs :confused: After Walt's comment I ran the upper one up under the tank and plugged the lower one with a small wire nut and cable tie and stuck into the skid plate. Guess we can spray into the upper hose and catch the drainage from the lower as necessary.
:cheers:
 
I wouldn't spray anything into the breather hoses. Some of what you spray will make it down into the exhaust port and could get into your cylinder that way. I don't think there is any real issue with plugging them off other than it is nice to collect some of the spooge that would normally make it through your pipe. Just have to remember to drain it periodically or it just fills and runs the extra through the pipe or out the upper breather and onto your bike.

I always ran mine open per FBF on the 02 model so I just continued it on the later ones

What a mess! The upper tube I stuck under the tank blew spooge, so I plugged it with a little bit of old sponge. Don't like the idea of dripping and blowing spooge everywhere I go either.
