  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Dial-a-jet

Rob,

I have been real curious about them as well. They might be perfect for changing climates/altitudes. I will put one on my christmas list.
 
I haven't heard of them but it reads like it should work and may be a good option on hard to jet bikes. I may try one on my 08 CR125 Husky. Thanks for the info.
 
I forget which mag it was in, Dirt Bike or Dirt Rider but it was talked about in the K*M 250-XC hop up article.

Kinda spendy though
 
They used to advertise a bunch back in the 80's. I didn't know they were still in business.........
IIRC they used to have street bike kits back then.
 
I put one on my 99WR250 back in the day. Did not like it. Installation was quirky at best and the parts seemed fragile and cheap. kinda worked but hated trying to make the install air tight and solid for rough off road use. Took it off after a few rides. Maybe it is better now, don't know. That was my limited experience. I'm sure it is still laying around here somewhere in the bowels of my shop. The dial thing to just it lets in air and needed their goofy air filter that was crap and kept falling off and letting unfiltered air in. the whole thing seemed like a leaking mess. Had the install be a lot more solid and tight I might have spent the time to work with it but as i ride mud a lot this simply was not going to hold up.
 
Lots of guys use them in Sleds.

Temp difference between AM and PM riding and inside the hood and outside the hood is huge in the sled world. That and the western guys will start at 2000 ft and climb to 11000 is why this company is still around.
 
It seems that all it does is provide an extra main metering circuit to give a small percentage say 10% of fuel in a way that you can change it easier than re-jetting the main by adjusting that last 10% and leaving the main 10% lean. If the jetting is optimal I see no way that this could give you a net gain in horsepower. I'd like to see some dyno numbers on this system vs. a properly jetted carb. It does say that it can be adjusted in 5 min. So if you can save time compared to re-jetting your main or changing your needle clip position than that would be a gain of sorts.
 
I actually have one of these on my 04WR250. The previous owner who is a tt.com member had put it on well before I bought (partial trade) it from him a few years back. He is a jetting guru in my opinion, especially with that bike, so needless to say, the bike is literally dialed in jetting wise and runs amazingly crisp. So, yes, while it is a little wishy washy in some respects (especially fitment) as some have pointed out, it actually can work.

I can't say much else beyond that. It just works once dialed in. I run 3200-6500 elevation with my setup on this bike and there are no hiccups anywhere in the power band and starting is 1-2 kicks.
