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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I good friend I ride with has a 1999 WR360 he bought used and it continues to foul plugs. He's an ex B enduro rider, so he rides pretty fast. We'll ride tight stuff at low rpms mixed with open trails where we can get the the rpms up and it'll last for about 45 minutes before it dies. We have to take the tank off to get to the plug and change it (he uses the Irridium plug) and it fires right up with a new plug every time. The plug coming out isn't soaked but it is running slightly rich (not tan) but he talked to Halls and has it jetted per their specs. Some people suggested the stator is intermittently bad, while others say the coil or the resistor. Any thoughts would be appreciated because he doesn't want to spend $ on a new stator (or rebuilt) and find out it's still not right.
 
Things I would check;
Float height, air screw adjustment, or crank seal.
Or it could be just too cold of a heat range, try one hotter.
 
Try a new coil lead,
They can fail once the engine heats up.
It might not be the plug,
It could be that the time taken to replace the plug is enough time to allow the coil lead to cool down until it becomes a useable resistance again.
 
i found the jetting on an iridium plug has to be absolutely spot on, i was fouling after every hour or so, i used a standard plug and it didnt foul to the point of stopping although was still rich.

I rejetted and havent had a problem,
