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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fuel delivery problems?

Hi guys,

Recently I had a custom petrol bladder made that sits inside an identical SMR510 exhaust that sits on the opposite side from the main exhaust. I first set it up the other week using a brass T-intersection so it combines both main and secondary fuel tanks in to one in to the carby. I have a fear maybe something got inside the carby through here..

It ran fine for 40 minutes on the road with some jumping around in side streets, then it began to ride like crap and keep turning off. I ran the idle up higher but it didn't help that much. Eventually after more pottering around that night I ran out of battery and had to push it to the GF's for 25 mins. In the morning I picked up tubing to convert back to stock tank setup. Bike ran fine for ten mins before doing the same. Next day charged battery and still no go.

Installed a new inlet manifold before all of this by the way, done up nice and tight on both ends. So I took the carby out, cleaned all internals and inspected. Now it rides around but the revs wont drop quickly after throttling. I checked the cables and can see the throttle wheel snap back all the way properly.

If I ride it around it goes ok, but if idle is under 3500rpm it will turn off after running like poo. It actually starts up really well but then runs like poo if idle is anywhere under 3000rpm...

So where can I find a resource with instruction on how to tune this carby? I want to look at fuel air ratio and anything else I can find to FIX the problem ONLY. I dont need more power...

Dont worry about the big screw, the bracket/zip tie around the fuel lever, or the gold ferrule and wire. Thats a remote choke I was stuffing around with months ago.

Thanks for any help2014-09-01 19.03.42.jpg

Interesting setup you have on your bike and I can't really give an exact fix on your issue ...But I have had the revs wont drop quickly after throttling issue also ... I always thought it was something clogged \ slightly clogged in the CARB ... Clearing, blowing, soaking CARB parts was the approach I always took to remedy the issue ...
