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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Hello every-one, I have posted this in the "jetting chat" thread but have not had any responses yet so I thought I would ask about it here. Does any-body know what effect removing the pilot jet air passage screen would have? Why is it there? It is the little screen at the bottom of the carb. on the air inlet side. I would think that having the screen in place would disrupt the air to the pilot jet and there might be a benefit to removing it:thinking:. Any thoughts on this? Thanks :cheers:!

What is the reason for it?

Have you ever road for a while, dumped your bike couple times, or maybe put lil too much oil on filter?

If you look down in there, sometime, you can see a little bit of oily syrup in that area. It will be drawn back thru engine. If you would have piece of dirt down there, the screen keeps it from being sucked in. Every time I do my filter, I reach down to the back of carb and clean that area. I have seen guys put filters on that hd so much oil on them that it would run and that back part of carb was like a sticky grease.

I have seen air filter oil residue in that area on my other bikes but it usually isn't excessive and I always clean that area when I service my air filters but I will leave the screen in place,thanks for the reply dartyppyt:thumbsup:.
