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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

125-200cc Gah!!! help

I raised the clip one dropping the needle. the clip is now at the upper most setting. made no difference. the plug is a perfect brown. that is what's tgrowing me off. i might just ring the thing to. Won't dropping the clip..raising the needle...lean it out? As in add more air?
 
see if autozone or advance rents compression gauges...its hard to have a 2 stroke and not have maybe the most important diagnostic tool the bike needs. you can really chase alot of stuff only to find it has 80 psi. what it feels like at the kicker means nothing, different bikes have different gearing in the kicker along with different lengths of kickers...
when you think of these carbs you have to think about FUEL not AIR. raising the needle lets in more fuel quicker...you arent pulling air from the float bowl, you are pulling fuel

Raising the clip, drops the needle and makes for a leaner mix. Did you want to go leaner? If not, you need to raise the needle by dropping the clip into a lower groove. Then the midrange mix will be richer.
 
I dropped the clip two notches...holy difference!!! Now to just fine tune to see if i need to change the pilot jet and Im ready to go!!! Thanks everyone

Someone posted a great one on here for fine tuning. but i Will let ya know...when my wife lets me play in the garage again lol
 
Ok update. when i got the bike the needle clip was second notch from the top. I've gradually gone down to second from the bottom and BAM !!! runs great! Will do some fine tuning. but Im very happy. Im a john deere mechanic learning a New animal. its a fun process and Yinz are super helpful!

Took the words right out of my mouth. Low compression will make it kinda hard to start and make the kind of power you describe.
