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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Carburetor adjusting problems on my beauty husky ´00 wr360

Hello fellow husqvarna brothers´n´sisters;)

sorry for my english, I know its not 100% but I think im awwesome heh;j

Ok anyways
I have adjustment problem on my husqvarna 2000 WR360 carburetor (dellorto vhsb37). The spark plug gets soaked after just a little time of riding. And now after i took the carb out of the bike and cleaned it, and put both of the two screws (air an fuel) all the way in, Im wondering how I should adjust the carburetor to idle and stop getting it soaked again after im riding.. Ive tried to adjust them but I really have no idea what I should do with those screws. How much should I screw the fuel screw counterclockwise and also the air.. Ive read on web that its not the same adjustment for every carb even though its the same type and size but any help on those screws would be very appreciated=). Thanks -Matti from the land of ice
 
I have a Mikuni on mine and most everyone here has a Mikuni or PWK
hopefully someone might be of assistance
considered switching?
 
Im running a Mikuni on mine as well, it runs great
Any time i am tuning a carb i try starting at 1 turn each and adjust by ear because as you said each is different.
That comes from my experience here in the desert
Have fun with it
 
Thank you both for helping me out here. Ive not consider to switch carb, it should work just fine after a right tuning and some love;j.
I´ll try tuning it as you said "KHarrison" thank you and ill sure have fun with it=)
 
Not too sure what adjustments your Dellorto has. When I owned a Beta with a Dellorto on it, it had a fuel screw, but not an air screw. You don't really say too much about the actual performance of the engine during all of this, so it would be a bit difficult to say what circuit on the carburetor actually needs tuning. Since an air screw or fuel screw, pilot jet and even the slide cutaway can all affect low end, while the needle jet, jet needle and main jet affect the high RPM range of engine operation, you have to figure out which area is the one most out adjustment and start working on that circuit first.
 
Matti,

Firstly, welcome to the site!!!

Secondly, your 2000 model WR360 never came out with a dellorto so someone has changed the original Mikuni TM for the dellorto - no good. My 95 WR360 was the last of the dellorto model WR360 and l would say that carb is no good for this bike...a screaming fast go cart yes, a low speed trail bike no (unless you do ice racing).

Best advise is to try and find a Mikuni TM (OEM on 2k WR360) or TMX or a Kehin PWK (38mm) as they are a lot more user friendly in tuning, knowledge and parts.
