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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

No offence winsurf but SteadyDirt is right. By moving the cable further away from the fulcrum you are actually increasing the "Work" (Load * Distance) and effectively reducing the leverage. The problem with the spanner analogy you used is that the fulcrum is also the load point (or clost to it) , but that is not the case for a clutch lever. The further you move the load point away from the fulcrum the more effort is required. By moving the cable away from the fulcrum you are increasing the cable pull distance, and reducing the leverage making it harder. A good analogy for this is a nut cracker. It gets more diffcult if you position the nut further away from the hinge.

I think you will find there are already threads on this one already showing extended arms.. The arm is made longer to reduce the effort required it is actually quite simple.
 
Moving the pull point you are trading force required for distance. You don't get something for nothing, if it's not sinking in go out and play on a teeter totter for a while.

You could do that for a short time but where you ride I think you will build up condensation. Not sure if you could use the trick of carb clean or brake clean to spray while the bike is running. If idle changes, there is your air leak. Normally you will see a little oil seepage at the seal so I would look for that first.
 
Here's what I run in the 36mm PWK carb I got from Wyatt Seals. 168 MJ, DDJ(Sudco)Needle 3rd clip, 42 pilot, 7.0 Slide, Air screw 1/ 1/4 Surns out. My bike is a WR 250 2009 and the bike rips with that jetting. Wyatt sent me the carb with the DDJ needle so maybe you'll want to try that needle. Your in HI so the weather is obviously hotter and way more humid then here in NJ. I've found that the bike likes to run on the lean side.
The jetting I gave here is for NJ sea level at about 55-65 degrees so you'd probably want to lean things out a little bit across the whole jetting range. ERIC @ P3
 
In my WR 300 with a husky race head, 2000 CR 250 ignition, 38mm pwk carb: 42 pilot, 178 main, 1.5 air screw, 3rd clip DEL needle. I'm waiting on a CEL needle as the DEL seems too rich.
