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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Is there a TE610 jetting thread?

MATPOC

Husqvarna
AA Class
I have bone stock 2006 TE610, it's running lean after I replaced worn out needle and emulsion tube with stock ones, it ran OK, I think someone compensated for the wear with adjustments

I'm seeing old Delorto carbs were 1.5 turns on the pilot but this is I think FCR? whatever was stock for 2006

Any help appreciated, looking for Plot and Main jet sizes, needle position, also how many turns on the screw

TIA!

Reading the Manual my settings are correct, FCR MX 41 1.5 turns on the pilot screw.
I'm gonna check jets again, should be OK with main, it runs fine past 1/4 throttle, but I have no idle until the screw (flex cable that adjusts throttle position) almost all the way in, bad throttle response unless I have the choke on. So basically very lean at idle and off-idle, no air leaks, but someone has replaced intake manifold already probably chasing same issue.

Anyone has any baseline settings they can share for the bike with Keihin? All I know for sure is that needle is on #4 clip.
 
SM 610 EU jetting:
Main 172
Pilot 50
start 85
max air jet 200
Gas valve 15/M
Screw 1.5 turns
min air jet 100
starter air jet 4 mm
 
Much thank you sir!

I assume my unknown market Blue and Yellow Enduro should have same numbers, will pull the carb tonight and check, now that I finally got some reading glasses I might be able to see the jet numbers without having to use my call phone as a magnifying glass :)

I fixed my 2006 by eliminating the catalytic stopper in the muffler and buying a jet kit from jdjetting.com The bike has run just about perfectly for years with those mods.
I ordered this back in February 2015

Mystery solved! Someone dropped in 42 pilot, probably to compensate for worn out needle!

This is standard, many have found that running a 178 main and a 45 pilot was a better outcome. Or just go with the JD kit.
