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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

When you finally get the kit and run it you will be smiling chick.

I am really interested in if Husky got a little more aggressive with their power valve grind on the 144. I reground mine to match the stock valves and the bottom end was OK certainly good for a small bore but not what I thought it "should" be. I pulled it back into the garage, pulled the cylinder, and ground the valves to leave a 2mm sealing surface and it was like night and day on the bottom thru mid. It pulls incredibly well from idle until the power valves open. I can't stress enough how much difference it makes. Idling along the trail instead of having to dump the clutch and add effort to loft the wheel over a 12" log, now you just have to wick it off idle and motor the rear over.

Walt,
I am trying to figure out what you are doing with the grinding of the PV. I have a lot of experience with 2-strokes from my boat racing, just not much with power valves.
What do you mean by sealing surface? What is the theory of why it works? I think you are on to something, I am just trying to understand where you are coming from.
The PV's block off so much of the port when they are closed, I sometimes think that is making it hard to get a good charge from the carb when you whack open the throttle because the exhaust port is so restricted at that point. Sorry about stealing this thread.
Looking forward to PV class!
