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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hi all, its good to be back again. After being in lock down for a year i finally managed to get out on my 1999 wr 250. ok let the story begin, I fitted a new HTM cylinder head along with fitting new boyessen dual stage reeds and a dyno port silencer cleaned out the gas tank and cleaned the keihin pwk carb.

The bike starts and runs fine but has what feels like a off idle stutter like being rich if and then feels like its goes lean and hangs the on idle i did bump the pilot up from 40-42 and the best setting i can get on on the air mixture is one and quarter turns out but still not right.

Any ideas or suggestions appreciated.
 
Hanging idle sounds lean to me too.. i think youre on the right track there. Have you checked for air leaks (un-metered air)?.. Spraying something flamable (carb cleaner/gas) / propane/map gas has worked for me in the past. Id focus on the intake manifold, base gasket area, and head. Also worth checking the pipe o-ring. Just found a leak on my base gasket tonite and it only had 4hours on it... Good luck.
