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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

heres the story.. i was going to tune my lectron and turn it a qaurter turn richer. so i did that and i out the the flat side of the metering rod facing the the air filter (the wrong way). i started the bike and and it ran like shit, so i adjusted the carb like 20 times not realizing the rod is backwards. I have the rod so far out of adjustment, i dont even know rich or lean because it wont start.i emailed kelly but i know hes busy with a million questions. So my question is how do i get the rod back to the setting when it left lectron.
 
i would try around 2.100" measured from flat part of slide to tip of rod. that will be somewhat close. start from there...hanging idle=too lean. go richer until bottom end and first part of midrange starts to break up a bit then back off lean a quarter turn. powerjet is top half of throttle, remember any time throttle is halfway of more the powerjet is flowing. sometimes marking your throttle can help. i believe lectron sends them out 1.5 turns out. powerjet is sensitive, make 1/4 turns until close, then 1/8th turns. turn richer until it starts to four stroke, then back off a tad. then get ready for it to rip like it never has.
by the way, you didnt mess up real bad at all. dropping it and cracking off a chunk of it or seizing the motor is messing up real bad:thumbsup:
 
+1 What he said. I wish I had measured the rod when I first got mine. Before the last adjustment it was 51mm, 1/2 turn in/richer made it 50mm. My power jet was 1 turn out stock, now I'm at 1 1/2 out.
I think @ 51mm rod length is stock. Get it to start and idle and respond to throttle first. Set the PJ to 1 or 1 1/2 turns out and adjust if necessary once it's running good. If it's hard to start it's probably lean, unless you're fouling plugs.
