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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

john01;96273 said:Ok sean you were closer this time but my 48.2 will be the winner later today when we gets his jetting sorted LOL. I just figured a lttle high after reading the 300's will out run 450 4-stroke MX bikes. They put down 48-55 hp depending on who dyno's them. So what are the TQ numbers on the 300?
sean;96278 said:torque = 29 ft-lbs

hrc630;96297 said:The 5hp is not only the carb, but the Keihin make the motor to come earlier. (When i post the chart you can see it!) Also, the needle change on the Keihin take 2 minutes !!!
Slowpoke;96259 said:Not exactly true - it's more of a complimentary feature.
Torque indicates how much load or work an engine is capable of. Horsepower indicates how fast it can do that work.
(at the crankshaft, without benefit of torque multiplying transmissions etc.)
Ie. an engine with 5hp and 100 ft/lbs of torque, could do a lot of work or get a large mass moving, but it wouldn't be able to move it very fast.
(Ie. large diesel truck engine as a real life example - relatively low HP to torque ratio)
Inversely, an engine with 100hp and only 5 ft/lbs of torque couldn't move much weight(do much work), but what work it can do, it can do very quickly. (ie. very small bore 2t engine on a light mx bike as a real world example - High HP to torque ratio)
Looks like Sean guessed it pretty close for the dyno run - 47hp vs, 46.8 actual - good guess!

Not too shabby for a motor designed 1/4 century ago
Now post some graphs****************************************!
