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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Dell Orto Info Guide

the carb was set super low for float height,,,,,she was running out of gas!!! float arms are now parallel to carb base. they were at almost 45 deg. bike should be perfect now
 
Here's an example of why its a good idea to pull the carb. to make jet changes. You catch some screw up like this. I found something similar in the Delortto carbs. on my Guzzi Sport at first carb. rejet. Never seen a motorcycle carb. where the adjustment was anything else but level. Someone had a plan I guess.
 
PS i had the carb apart 2x before,,,,,to clean inspect the jets and clear passages,,and to learn the Dell Orto ,,but with no research, I just assumed....... the float level was ok.
have not tested yet, but by all indications the thing should work perfectly now.
 
cant say this method is right but what I do is remove the bowl and blow on the fuel tube and move the arms until the needle & seat closes (all mounted on bike) then bend the arms so it closes with the arms level
