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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Lectron carbs for huskys available now at Motosportz

I had to lean out the 38mm one half turn runs perfect, nice light tan plug color. The 36mm needed a full turn leaner but works great now. We are getting pretty close to 20% or a little more, better mileage over two rides.
Good to hear Walt, I understand you are down at "Lost Wages" and hope you are winning....

WOW, thats awesome. I am having trouble figuring it because there is always snow on about 30% of the trail I am riding which means spinning rear tire for hours. I'm still surprised how little fuel I use and i think I might still be slightly rich. Runs perfect but plug indicates slightly rich.

So far over three days of riding the average mileage in a lot of fairly technical stuff is ~28 mpg with the 38mm. Jon isn't getting quite as good with his 36 but there are other issues. Yesterday on some faster terrain with some wot runs on roads connecting trails, I got almost 31 mpg. 43 miles and used 1 gallon 56 oz of fuel. She's a screamer on the dirt roads.

I rode your 165 at the NW gathering. Loved your bike. You had it set up exactly like I would. How does your bike with the Electron compare to the bike I rode in Bend ?
 
Is there a 36mm to 38mm comparison on a Wr250 yet? Also will Motosportz offer a ready made cable with the carb purchase? That way I could mod my stocker if I needed an emergency spare.

Russ,

The powerband is so much smoother and yet has more everywhere. The overall nature of the bike is the same but the motor is just better everywhere. I think it is even easier to ride than it was even though it has more beans.

Absolutely. Fitments for most everything and cables designed and coming. Might be a week or two on the cable. We also sorted out a top that will work fine with the stock cable but as the stock cable is so short we are going to offer the longer one anyway.

Here is what we are doing and the options...

Stock Domino throttle and cable but with the super short adjuster, or the longer cable we are offering, works perfect but still has the short stock cable

Where it goes in the top looks like this

And will handle a quick angle like for the GG bikes with the tank formed around the top of the carb (little room)

There is also the completely system that would work on any bike and there are several options where it comes out of the carb.

the best option for modern huskys is going to be the first one but with the new longer cable.
 
Russ,

On every bike I have tried it on so far it makes more and smoother power like we are all finding. It seems we will all have standard carbs for sale as these are so good i don't care to run a "standard" carb again.
 
im riding a 2010 wr300 and am interested in this carb. What would be the best one for my bike 36mm or 38mm ? I dont know the big differance.
 
me too ^^^. couple of weeks sweet with me for the cables, as long as everything fits & no need to buy a different cable im a happy camper! :)
 
Will it be available for the pre FI 4 strokes? 2009TXC250?

We are doing testing on that now but no reason it will not. They sell may to 4 stroke guys especially in the quad racing world. Lots of fast 4 stroke guys running them. Here is a big block YZF450 motor in a high state of tune with a Lectron on it.

We will be testing a CRF450 and TE610 shortly.
 
Are the machined down Lectrons here that replace the Mikunis available yet? Also what about the cables?
