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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hey guys still having this rich symptom

Anyone know how to test the coil ? Resistance for older Wr250 - been told it may be a faulty ignition advance curve - coil ?
Click to expand...
most coils use the same ohm reading, you can plug it into another ignition if you have more than 1 bike, these are early design ignitions
 
Im no guru at this stuff . My primary coil resistance (across coil) is .5 ohm and secondary ( from wire going into to coil to plug ) is 17700 ohm . Both seem low to average (especially primary ) but not sure on what they should be .
 
I tried swapping carbs to a newer Mikuni and its seems to be better so I am thinking its carb related


The newer carb doesnt fit well as its too short front to rear and would need a newer - longer intake boot - I believe

So trying to sort original carb
I don't think its float height and Ive got lean settings on pilot , needle and main

Im not sure what could cause the carb to run rich from mid to top end . Lack of air flow - where ?


What do you do when you rebuild a carb ?
 
Yes . I changed the float needle and its seat and the float from a spare carb I had . I had to make sure it wasn't too rich on the needle setting but it was ok .
