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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

All 2st RM Needle Clarification - 6CHY17 vs 6CHY16

Guys, I've been trying to fine tune my '09 WR144 with the help of Walt, Darin and all the other great resources here (huge props) but one thing keeps confusing me...

I've read a number of posts here that say the 6CHY17 RM needle is a half-clip richer than 6CHY16, I don't think this is correct, I think it's the opposite based on the following info:

4-4 MACHINE TUNING - NEEDLE CLIP POSTION

Change the jet needle from 6CHY17 type to 6CHY16 type. This change will move the needle position by half to the richer side. 6CHY16 type jet needles are available as optional parts.

The info above is from the RM Tuning guide that dartyppyt shared with us (super helpful, btw!)

I'm not crazy, right? All the info here points to the opposite of what is documented in that tuning guide, even the Needle Number chart has the 17 as leaner by half a clip.
 
Hope this example helps:

For example, a 6CHY17-64 needle in the 3rd position, with a 1/2 clip washer installed under the clip is the same setting as a 6CHY16-64 needle in the 3rd position.

So the 6CHY17-60 thru 64 needles will be a 1/2 clip leaner than the 6CHY16- 60 thru 64 needles.
 
yes, it does, thank you! the threads/posts i had bookmarked mention the opposite but now i'm clear (and not crazy)
