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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Float Height: Reference points for proper level?

Hey, all,

I've been getting a little overflow from my FCR on my '07 TE250, and I want to adjust the float height--what reference point am I using for the correct level?

I'm pretty clear on how to check the level: loop the overflow hose upwards, open the drain screw, and look at where the level rises to in the overflow tube. I just don't know where it should line up to :excuseme:

Thanks in advance!
 
This works for me. After a while of playing with the float height it occurred to me that what was important was fuel should not come out during normal use, but should come out when the bike lays down.

I adjusted it so it starts dripping at about 45 degrees.

It may be different on your bike, don't know. I adjusted so the overflow dribbled when bike was about 45 degrees.
 
thanks dfeckel, i was searching how to check my float level, how easy is that!!
can someone explain how to adjust it, mine is low, as i thought, it stalls idling down very steep hills, thanks heaps.

paul.
 
To adjust, you need to take off the float bowl and float. The little metal tab that pushes up the float valve has to be literally bent one way or the other to adjust the level. If your level is too high, then you need to bend the tab UP so that it closes the valve earlier. If your level is too low, then you need to bend the tab DOWN so it closes the valve later.
