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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

Well, unless you forgot to put oil in it, but that should look worse. Any chance the timing is too far advanced? Air leak?

Running Maxima Castor at 32:1 and pump premium gas. It isn't running hot at all.

That's what I hear. I was going to run the PWK off of my YZ250 since my Mikuni is off to RB but it has the TPS and solenoid enrichener circuit.

I know I am prolly starting something but I never liked that oil... But it the plug is the color of a paper sack that is good but that should still equate to more carbon on piston than that...
Is it possible The carb wasn't in the boot right? Crack in the intake boot? Pipe bent or not seated right? Or even ignition timing off?

Maxima Castor is very high film strength....its old school for sure but least likely to cause a scuff like that....they use it in 125 Carts where they rev the tits off those things...
It not a good oil at cold temps though...as it tends to separate....and it gets a bad rap cause of that
NOTE curious if thats the actual color of the top of the slug or did CELTIC clean it off......looks like 15 min run time to me

That's all the carbon it had for probably 14 hours running time including a cross country. The power valves from the 125 matched the two they sent me for the 144 kit. Guess I'll have to get in touch with Dan.

Thanks for the info on the Maxima octane booster. I'll have to order some. Never had a gumming problem with Maxima 927 ever and you can see how clean this one runs. I'm in good hands now, Wally is coming by tomorrow night to take a look at my bike!

Right now the biggest problem is the power valves. Also my carb is at RB Designs. Dan brought over a very tired older TM-125 today and we stripped the PWk carb off of it. It may work if Walt can get my Husky running. I spent most of the afternoon working on my YZ250 getting her ready to ride with Dan and Walt on Tuesday in case the Husky has to sit at home.
