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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Wr 125 2008 model with no power when accelerating

Hi all

Looking for some advice as on an issue with my wr125.

This is a 2008 model I have just bought, starts up fine and today I took it out, for the first hour it ran great.
Then out of nowhere when I started to open the throttle it sounded like it was going to die, the tick over still ran great but as soon as I try to accelerate it sounds like it's going to cut out.

Any ideas what this could be? Possible carb issue maybe?

I can still start it without any problems.

Cheers

John
 
I would check the tank vent to make sure it is working correctly, check the screen on the fuel petcock (of course you could pull the fuel line and open the valve to check for flow), pull the carb and clean and inspect jets, float valve and seat and clip on the needle to make sure it's still there and reset the float level . How long since a top end, check compression . While you have the carb off take a look at your reeds to make sure they are ok. If these things don't get you going check spark plug cap and wire and all of your wiring connections, especially your grounds for good tight connections. Hope this helps
