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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
Chances are the silencer packing is saturated with oil and the exhaust pressure is pushing it out the end. Clean and repack the silencer first and then work on getting the jetting sorted or there will always be spooge running out the end.
Not sure what you are trying to explain here....the transmission is separate from the crankcase, so the only way transmission oil could get into the crank is if the primary case main seal were bad. Otherwise, the only oil that gets into the crankcase is from your two stroke premix fuel. The ring(s) of a two stroke engine are only there to provide compression, as the premixed fuel charge comes up through the transfer ports in the walls of the cylinder to the top end of the cylinder, so oil will always be getting to the top end.But what if it is coming out of the exhaust port by the cylinder and getting spray on the frame. Along with the joint near the air box. If the transmission fluid that I put into my clutch cover screw lubes the gears. And also the piston going up an down an if the rings on te piston are to bad then oil could get through and be making it smokey and also spooge right. ?
And only way to check this seal is by removing the whole clutch set up basketNot sure what you are trying to explain here....the transmission is separate from the crankcase, so the only way transmission oil could get into the crank is if the primary case main seal were bad.

The clutch is usually on the end of the input shaft of the transmission, the main seal is behind the the primary gear on the end of the crankshaft. The clutch basket has to be removed to get the primary gear off, as it extends past the top of the edge of the gear teeth on the primary gear. One thing for sure is that gear oil is a lot smokier and smellier than your two stroke oil. If your exhaust smoke doesn't smell any different than usual, it's not so likely that it's the main seal. Other causes of poor running could be a bad set of reeds that aren't closing properly.And only way to check this seal is by removing the whole clutch set up basket

.The black oil spooge that you are seeing is normal to me. You need to replace the exhaust header oring to prevent the spray/leakage at the exhaust spigot. The exhaust pipe to silencer union seal needs to be replaced since your swing arm is getting oil on it. I am using a KTM union seal which fits much tighter. If using the Husky OEM seal, then make sure it is fresh and not eroded or stretched out. Adding some zip-ties near both ends of the union seal can help too. Then, as PC mentioned, make sure your silencer packing is fresh and not saturated with oil. All of this will give you a fresh baseline to assess the true amount of oil (spooge) making it's way out the silencer end.
My bike runs cleanly with the jetting I have and I get some trail of spooge running down the silencer. To me, it indicates that I'm a bit rich but safe. When I do not see spooge, then I'm paranoid that I'm running too lean.
Haha true. But this look ten times worse then cheech and chongs vanCloud of smoke. It is a 2 smoker.
So you got a mosquito fogger. At least the bugs will stay away.Haha true. But this look ten times worse then cheech and chongs van
