  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Why is Gas leaking out of my Carb??

I have a Husky WR300 2009. Recently it began leaking fuel out of the tube on the bottom of the float bowl. It will just run out of there until I shut off the petcock. I took it off and cleaned it all out real good but it continues to leak?? Any thoughts as to what is causing this??? Thanks

Mine does that once in a blue moon. I usually tap it with a rubber Mallet. Does the trick everytime. I think the float is getting stuck.
 
Try cleaning the needle that the float pushes against to shut off flow. These can get clogged with grit pretty easy. Also, you float height might have gotten out of adjustment.
 
Occasionally the (float) needle, seat, and o-ring need to be replaced too. On a 2009 I wouldn't think it would be due yet, but you never know.

It's either junk in the needle, wrong float height, or a worn needle/seat/oring, like the other guys have said.
 
After checking float height and vent tube 5 times, replacing my needle,seat and o ring fixed my fuel dumping 09 165..same part as late model yz125, about $10 and 15 min work!
 
Save yourself some time and buy a new needle seat and needle and you should not have anymore problems. I had the same thing happen earlier this summer and replaced it after having the carb apart about 10 times. I wish I would have done this first. You can find it on sudco.com.

Are you referring to the main needle or the small needle that hangs off the float in the bottom of the bowl?
 
All "needle" references in this thread are talking about the float needle (the one that shuts of the fuel feed from the tank).
