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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Spark plug socket for 2010 TXC 250?

Man, feeling a little silly asking this but..... What size socket do I need to remove my sparkplug? I'm switching over to an IMS and wanted to check valves and spark plug gap while the tank's off. None of my deep well metric sockets seem to fit:banghead:. I've tried 13 thru 16mm and either the socket won't go all the way down or it appears to go down but doesn't engage the plug. Special tool for the plug?
 
I had to turn down a standard small plug socket to fit into the hole. All the ones I had were to fat to fit.
 
FYI, it's a 16mm or 5/8" size. The gasket that seals the spark plug well to the head protrudes a slight bit into the spark plug well and may require a small amount of pressure to make the oem style sockets go down past that gasket line. I ended up using my son's crf50 plug socket with no issues after confirming the size needed for the spark plug. My plug was gapped at .023 inches. The manual calls for .027-.031 inches.
