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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Can't seem to find those spark plug pics for color reference on proper tuning. Trying to dial in the lectron. Am I lean? Just a few spins around the neighborhood in this plug.

Marshwater,,that plug looks to be way lean,,im pretty sure it needs to be a medium to dark brown or somewhere in that area..
 
richened up to 1/4 turn out. Spewing spooge out the silencer (even the rivits) and connection with pipe. Only a slight color change. Any chance I got the wrong size rod, running wrong oil, and or radio? Rod = 3-1 XL ; oil = castor927 ; radio = 40:1 ; gas 93 octane (non ethanol)

You need to talk with Kelly at Motosportz or Wally they will lead you in the rite direction,,pm them or hang tight,,also change your Subject to,,," Spark plug Color-Lectron" that will get some attention here..:thumbsup:
 
It took a few hrs for me to burn oil out of the pipe from the stock carb. When I had lectron perfect I would still get a little on end and out of rivits. DONT adj for oil dripping adjust for plug and performance.
 
Depending on the fuel and mix oil you won't always get a coffee colored plug. Spooge means nothing except that the oil flashpoint is high enough that all the oil isn't burning in the exhaust. I use Ammsoil and VP110 and although my bike runs about as perfect as I could ask for. I've had greenish gray plug color most likely due to the lead in the fuel.
 
To do it properly, you need to do a WOT run, then shut it off immediately and coast into you pit and pull the plug. If you idle, or ride slowly, or at all after your WOT run, it will alter the look of the plug.
Now... I don't know about 2 strokes, but trying to read a plug on a 4 stroke single, with modern fuels is nothing more than a waste of time.
 
A plug won't color immediately, especially on a put-put run. It will stay washed because it never reaches operation temperature.
