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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Reed block restrictor

Is was sealing off my reed block to the motor cause it was leaking slightly. And I came apon this. It looks like it is restricting the intake.. I searched and found Wallybean had ground that out on his 360?
I never remembered this being on all my old 2t's.. Is this what makes it so strong on the bottom? I might check a Honda cr 250 to see if it is like this. If not I'll let you know how it preforms opened up.. Hehe

The pic is of the restrictor pulled out of the reed block and the motor side carb bott next to it.

Well I can't get the pic from my phone. I'll post that in a sec.

That's all parts to the V-Force reed. No need to gring it out. Just put it back together and go. The 360 has an old style reed stuffer in it that was late 80's technology. Your reed block is state of the art.
 
Thanks motorhead. My trx250r and Banshee's were definitely old tech compared to now. I still wish I hadn't sold the 89' 250r. But this bike 11' wr300 definitely brings those looks back.
Anyways...
I never thought to check the area of the opening.?.. Doh.
It calculates out that the opening is still more volume than the carb. Good thing I didn't get the die grinder out. Some times I get ahead of myself. Thanks.
