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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st 09 wr float level

I swear I searched, lol. All I saw was a ref to the float level being 10mm. From what? Obviously it must be different than the keihin's i'm used to. is there a link or something to the procedure to check and set the float level in the carb? I didn't see it in the manual, but I didn't search it thoroughly (don't have it right here), and I've been finding the manual to be written in some bizarre form of non-native english anyway.

My bike seems to drip fuel out of the overflow pretty easily if i accidentally leave the fuel on. I don't know if that's normal, but it's certainly happening in greater quantities than i'm used to, so i figure i might as well check it before the bike gets too dirty.... thanks.
 
Based on it dripping out EZ i would just set it slightly lower. I think the float seam and carb bowl plane should be the same, as in parallel.
 
You need to turn the bowl overflow tube upwards and the gas level within the overflow tube should be 10mm from the float bowl mating surface.

I never could get this to work, so I adjusted it the old fashioned way by angling the carb until just the bumper spring was depressed. I measured 8mm stock and set it to 6mm to reduce the amount of fuel in the bowl and it stopped the drips.

I have the Husky schematic for checking the float height, but it has no instructions. Only an illustration. I can email it if you want it.

How have you liked the bike thus far? Starts okay, etc....?

starts very easy in neutral. i'm going to change the oil out for something lighter to see if it will start a little better in gear. I took up most of the slack in the clutch cable which helped.

i'm certainly glad i didn't take the new bike to the superstition national h&h. My kx is a steaming rusted pile of wreckage from the submarine expedition through the world's most corrosive and disgusting mud. brake pads down to the metal, chain and sprockets (brand new last week) nearly rusted solid. I'm glad i didn't put new linkage bearings in. I'll have to be sure to pull the swingarm too and clean and grease. :banghead:
grrrr.
 
Hey Mark, Yeah the photos of the H&H look like you might have been better off on a jet ski. So, OK it starts good in nuetral and the clutch drags in gear, what else? Have you ridden the bike enough for a mini-review so far? Thanks.

Finally got out for a few hours today, and i really really like the bike. I'll try to write a mini-review tomorrow after another day of riding. First i have to figure out how the hell to adjust the rebound damping. Seriously, wtf?
