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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!
I just might find out!Oh you are very welcome. It stopped raining a few hours ago so I'll ride a little more tomorrow and again this weekend and give a little more detail. Mikuni's make great paperweights so I hear.
It reminds me of the old POSI-FUEL carb/"fuel injection" which was similar to the Lectron carb. The Posi-fuel had no float bowl and was fed directly from the fuel tank and could be used with a a fuel pump and regulator. I used one for a while (posi-fuel) with limited success.
If you read the entire KTMTALK thread there is much talk about RED Edmondson this is his best best work before he passed.If it uses a Lectron type needle system then the adjustment knob is for like adjusting the pilot jet. It has a minor effect on entire range but if you need more mid or top fuel you need to change needle. If the needle has a 2 number system then the first number is top end (Main Jet) and second number is Mid Range (Needle).
Lectrons are only about $299. They were bought out a few years ago by FAST BY GAST who has a long time racing experiance using Lectrons on Drag bikes. Including Kawasaki Triples. They have made some minor improvements on the basic design. I wouldn't recommend more than a 36mm as they flow more than an equal sized Keihin or Mikuni.

John 01 already fitted one to his 08 crwb 165 with no issues, same body style as your bike right?Pretty sure I've convinced myself to bite the bullet and get the billet one for my 300. There is only two things bothering me. First is which size to get and more importantly is the post in the GG forum mentioned it was 3/4'' longer than his Keihin, that would make it a pretty tricky fit seeing as my PWK is already fairly tight.
