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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TC610 Fuel Idle and Air Idle Screws...WTF?

Yo.

I recently acquired a 2000 TC610. 4speed, left-kick, etc.

I went through the whole bike getting it cleaned up since it hadn't been used in a couple years. Kicked it started, ran really well, but the idle was too low so every time I let go of the throttle, the engine cut out.

I have a feeling I'm missing one of the screws mentioned in the title.

Take a look at my engine and tell me something should be in the "B" area besides a black plug.

WTF??

Hi davisMFG,

On my TE570 with a Dellorto, B is not a plug but the idle screw.

There is some good reading here,

Links to manuals, links to Dellorto parts,

http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/phm-40-ms-carb-fuel-air-mixture-settings.32574/

Try to find a manual for your bike it will make things a lot easier.

Cheers, Dave.

Thanks for the info, Dave.

Does the "B" plug rotate? I haven't tried turning it because I thought it was a plug... Can I tune the air mixture with it?

Hi,

I don't know, best to download the manual for your bike and look at the exploded diagram for the carb.

You could try digging the plug out to see if there is a screw under it.

Cheers, Dave.

Here is the dellorto for your bike,

http://www.dellorto.co.uk/merchandise/products.asp?CategoryID=2&PartsectionID=22

Scroll down to see parts.

You need to look at parts,

65 ,66 ,67 and 68.

Can you see a model number on the carb?

Cheers, Dave.

OK, so I ordered the throttle screw part from Hall's based on their schematic of my bike as well as the info I've gotten here, but the screw doesn't fit!

Take a look at these detailed photos from the carb and you'll see that the throttle screw area has no threads. It almost looks like someone messed with it--almost like a metal sleeve in there, but it doesn't come out.

The bike starts and runs, but it won't idle and it's really bugging me.

Looks like the thread stripped and was drilled out and a plug put in its place, make a bush and drill and thread it to take the screw,

I thought about that, but the little metal pin with the spring around it doesn't even fit into the smaller hole, so I'd have to drill that bigger too.

It's a mystery...this hole just doesn't seem right. Something happened and I want to know what it was.

Unfortunately, only the original owner knows and there's now way for me to find him.

Maybe this was a special carb for the TC and it has no throttle adjustment...
 
Hi,

Looking at the pic you posted you need to remove that metal piece if there is no thread then you have to get another

carby body or used carby.

Cheers, Dave.
