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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Adjusting Floats...

Seems we're getting a ton of float questions and such so...Here's an article I found interesting...and has a lot of good info. Covers CV and puller's. I put up the link as the text probably won't copy too well and all that so....if you can get the text to come over nicely, go for it and post it up!

Use common sense and if the numbers dont apply to your carb then, don't use them.
I simply adjust my float to be level with the parting line (actual or theoretical) of the carb body w/ zero lash or preload on the needle plunger.

Verify all parts are cherry FIRST.
Bend (adjust) the tang with float off the needle, out of the carb is best. DO NOT use the float themselves as a grab handle. Back-down the bracket with something (tweezers etc) and gingerly adjust the TANG, don't bend the float et al. up or down by grabbing it and yanking.

Toss brass ones in the can and get new foam ones if you can. Brass ones go bad FAST when ya dont drain yer carb. They get pitted and such, take on gas and then...yer boned!

Enjoy!
