  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Help with float level

Hi got the WRE 125 2007.

I had various problems and took carb apart to clean and me being stupid snapped the float.

Bought new float from Husky and it's the same weight 6.5g.

So I put new float in and it drips fuel from the overflow. I have tried to adjust it to the right level via the manual and when I went for a little ride it starts bogging now and again, when i get back there is fuel flowing out the overflow.

Not sure if I am doing anything wrong.

I put the carb down flat on the floor and then measure the distance from the carb to the end of the float. I tried 23.5mm. Should I try 24.5mm? Thanks Dom

You have to measure it with the tang just touching the needle...laying the carb flat may not do that.

Sounds like your float level is too high.

A high float will kill the gas mileage and make the bike run rich on the bottom.
 
look around on the web i believe faded did a vgood description on the thumpertalk forum with pics, basically you shouldn't have anything coming out of the overflow until you tilt the bike 45 degrees, check the floats are not getting snagged on anything inside the carb.clean or rplce inlet and pilot needles a blow out with carb cleaner and compressed air.varnish build up is a pain after a bikes been sat for a while especially on a 2t with the added oil.check you petcock valve is still working correctly as well.
