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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Gday, while i was replacing my spark plug, i somehow managed to damage and break off the small spring that was located in the spark plug cap.. im just wondering what the purpose of the spring is and will it have a negative effect riding without it? Thanks

The spring will be the contact to the top of the plug. It might still run without it but the spark will be having to jump the gap to the top of the plug first before the actual plug gap as well.
 
Thanks for the replies! Much appreciated.. I found a spring laying around and stretched it a little and it seemed to fit well.. a touch of superglue on the cap end of the spring and i placed it in the cap.. Do you think the material of the spring is important? Like should I have used copper? I cant remember what the standard spring was made of.. Cheers!
