So install went ok after I figured out I was missing rubber carb to throttle cable boot(used black tape for now). Bike started on second kick and went in to a fast idle that did not slow down after warm up so I turned out idle screw 1/2 turn and motor slowed down to much so went back in 1/4 turn and perfect idle. Blipping throttle seemed really crisp and no hesitation. All testing was done on stand since there is still 2 feet of snow but I think it is close. Might be going on ride in 2 weeks to Glendive Montana to get away from winter and give 165 another good test. Thanks to Kelly and Wallybean for help and I will need new throttle cable anyways mine old one is starting to fray

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

thanks for the feedback. If it blips well on the stand I bet it runs hard on the trail. These are pretty EZ to set up. Adjust the rod for idle and right off idle performance and then don't touch it. If you need to tune the top use the powerjet screw to tune.
I just got this Email this morning and love hearing that people are happy with their purchase.
Unfortunately for me, life/weather/work/family got in the way of me getting to test out the Lectron after I installed it in February. However, I'm happy to say that I finally got to try it out on an epic ride this weekend, and I couldn't be happier. What a huge improvement! I made absolutely zero adjustments from my baseline garage settings (1/2 turn leaner needle, 1/2 turn richer power jet, slightly lower idle), and it ran like a beast for 35 miles of hard riding with zero bogging (I thought I would never tune the bog out of this thing). Easiest starting bike I've ever had... I could push off with one foot with the clutch pulled in, and let the clutch out to start it which blew everyone's mind (as well as starting it by hand). Got great mileage too, enough so that I could rescue 2 friends who ran out of gas on the ride and still make it back with fuel to spare. Thank you so much for all your hard work and help making this carb available to us, I really appreciate it.
