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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi everyone,
My 2009 wr300 wont start. A couple of times it kicked but died. About 10 days ago it ran out of fuel. I switched to the reserve tank and came home (only just made it). I refuelled the bike but did not start it. Tried starting today with no luck. I removed the spark plug and squirted in aerostart. Didnt seem to help. In the end i noticed black (what looked like oil) coming out of the spark plug hole. I disconnectef the hose that runs from fuel tank to carby. It is getting fuel. Im worried about the black stuff coming out the spark plug hole. Any ideas?
 
your pilot jet could be clogged or there is goo build up in float bowl. carb floats could be off too - does it leak gas when tipped more than 45* either direction? If not, float could be too high.
 
You probably sucked some dirt or other crud from the bottom of your tank and clogged the pilot jet. The orifice is very small in the pilt and clogs easily, especially when running on deserve and emptying the tank.
