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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

630 air box question...

Doesn't the oil drain hole at the bottom of the air box defeat the purpose of the "snorkel"? If we went through water deeper than the bottom of the air box it'll just fill up from the drain hole will it not? Or am I missing something...

I thought the same thing last time I cleaned the filter. Kinda want to plug it.?

The "snorkel" isn't to keep lake water out, it is to keep rain out and to quiet down intake noise, that's it.

ETA: and if you plug it, you may end up with oil (filter oil and engine oil) puddling up in the bottom of the airbox.
 
I'm pretty sure a water crossing as deep as the bottom of the airbox would scare the bejesus out of me. I don't really have any business going deeper than that.
 
Yeah they can be a little hair raising, but around here it can happen from time to time. Particularly in the spring if it rains a lot.
