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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Sh***y DelOrto Carb

Hi, first time Husky owner here. I have a 93 WXC 350 that the carb is shot on. I have heard that a lot of people swap out the DelOrto for a Mikuni or other brand and I am wondering what model carb I should order.
 
If you're going to replace the carb, you definitely need to check out the Lectron model for 4-strokes. I have a '92 wxc350, and a Lectron will be going on soon. Call them up and talk, outstanding customer service.
 
As much as I would love to put a $400 carb on it, its really hard to justify for a 24 year old bike. That is crazy awesome that there is a company that you can custom order carbs from though!
 
But if you buy another old carb, and try to get it running right, the time alone messing with jetting will be ridiculous. You could sell your old carb to someone needing parts. The one from Lectron will be like Ronco, Set it and forget it!
 
A 37mm FCR carb from a 250f would be a significant upgrade from the Dellorto and are readily available on ebay for $100-150ish. There are likely some fitment issues you would have to figure out though.

Mikuni has a 36mm pumper carb, and mikunioz has a variety of adapters available on amazon for the mikuni carbs, as another option.
