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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I beleive i have seen some thing on this before .

can the plug wire be changed from the original coil
or do you need to purchase a coil to get the wire
My original wire is looking old and stiff.
On the original spark plug cab i beleive i saw where some have changed it. If so what are you using .Even by pushing mine back
in i do not think i am getting a good contact that might be why i sometimes cut out on full load in the higher gears
 
Years ago I had one do this. I just cut the wire, got a solid core wire at the parts store, spliced it in, insulated the hell out of it, and it ran well ever since. This was a 1982 430XC. I dont think you will hurt anything as long as the spark has a place to go.
 
The coils used to have like a copper screw in them. You just twisted the old one out (Glued in the coil area) then you could replace it/glue it back in. Now, I am not sure and think length of it is also a factor and type of wire used, some were resistor too. I would call a George @ Uptite, Jay @ Hall's to get their thoughts?
 
My plug cap on the 09 WR125 is a screw on. If yours also is a screw on and you are just pushing it back in that might explain the missing? I got tired of removing the connector on top of the plugs so I replaced the cap with a NGK cap.
