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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Carb options for an 86 510

The 86 510 has a Dellorto on it but it's worn and contributing to difficult starting and poor idling. Who has upgraded their carb on an air cooled 510? The Keihen FCr is a bit much for my wallet.
 
Theres a million blown up 250 and 450f bikes these days . Get any size fcr you want complete with cables and grip assembly for 50 bucks . Jet it to suit ?
 
Found a Keihin FCR with hot start button and accell pump. It includes the cables and throttle grip. Beginning to get the hang of starting the beast. The Dellorto is so worn you can't adjust the idle. Fuel screw doesn't make a difference either. Slide is very worn.
Started it up anyways and she's got plenty of power everywhere.:cheers: I like it!

I got my first 510TE in 1984. Couldn't ride it for 2 days because it wouldn't start at all. Switched the dell-orto for 38 mm Mikuni with proper jetting and after that I could start it with my bare foot. The idle system on the dell-orto was not good for this type of engine. Since 1972 I used Mikuni's on my Husqvarna's and tuned many 2 stroke and 4 stroke with them. Im not saying the Keihin is less but it was a lot easier to get parts for Mikuni's than for the Keihins. Best regards, Maarten.

Hello Maarten, good to know. I went with the FCR because they seemed to work well on many four strokes. A hot start button is a wonderful thing. I have a Yamaha TT500 I would like a better carburetor on.
Best regards, Huskys rule! Pete
