The Husky F/I FIX

[Weantright]

The JD unit it great I could not be happier with the way the bike runs.
JD him self has a Innovate LC-1 wide band O2 Air Fuel gage that he runs
on his bikes with his power surge, what a great combo for getting your bike
spot on. Easy start up hot or cold,better millage, more power.

Are the 02 sensor threads the same for all 02 sensors? Looking at the AEM model and wanted to get the correct sensor.

I looked at that AEM model it is verry nice
and yes the O2 sensor are the same threads will screw right in
good luck setting up your bike and let us know how it is going

UPDATE - My fuel pump HAD popped out of its base. Thx for the tip.
It is held with dinky little zip ties...
Ordered and received my JD unit. I will install it today (April 14).

NOW... if only the friggin' weather would cooperate, I'd be able to test & ride it... but no, Mister Old Man Winter is pissing us all off by dumping heavy spring snow all over.. grmbl.. Living in Calgary, Canada, kinda sux sometimes... Tomorrow, Sunday ain't looking better either.
Oh well. At least the mosquitos aren't out yet.... but I digress.


Thx for the tips folks.

glad to hear you got the pump worked out
you will love the jd tuner

UPDATE V 2.0 – FINALLY!.. Spring has sprung, AND the JD tuner has been installed. Only had a few hours in the saddle (or stiff workout bench if you prefer) to tune things a bit.
1st of all: all the popping/rough runnoing in mid range is GONE. Smooth as angel cake.
However, the idling had dropped so much at first (from ~1850rpm to 1200-1400rpm) that the bike could not hold its idle and had a hard time restarting.
Leaned the mix, played with air-mix screw, got it back to a healthier 1500-1600, but I'm a tad confused on how to reset the air-mix screw and start tuning it from a 'factory' setting. Bike is second hand, so 1st owner may have screwed around with the air-mix setting without knowing what to properly do... gotta do some research on that and tune-it from ground-up, so to speak.

Quick opinion about JD tuner: awesome. I noticed a better fuel range already. Mostly goofing around town with other 'hooligans'-minded riders (jumps and urban assault was had by all), so the bike gets to do a lot of quick accelerations, and a lot of slow riding in tight spaces, with the oh-so-rare wheelie and stoppie... ahem.
Anyway, the JD tuner is a must-have for sure.
Now, if only I can figure out why the bike still stalls at low speed, I'll be a happy man – riding very slow, then low-to-mid acceleration makes it 'pop' and stalls... probably need to lean low and mid range more.
Will update when I get more time to play with the dials.

Thx Tech 3!

Glad to hear of your progress, you have entered into a much larger world of fine tuning
Don't be afraid to adjust the air screw on the throttle body thats what it is there for
adjusting it in lets in more air, adjusting it out lets in less air, get your idle up to 1850 rpm or so
with the screw,are you able to set or check your TPS.

I have a JD tuner, although the standard settings weren't 100% perfect for my bike. After a bit of fiddling I found it to be great.

My intake boot has cracked in the past, some good superglue held it closed for the past 2000km. It has just reopened and I will re-glue it again. $150 is the dealer's asking price for the new boot, hence the superglue effort..

Try some hi-temp silicone seal, black. It should last longer than the super glue. Also, zip tie the the throttle body to the head, that will minimize vibrations and make your silicone repair last longer.

$150.00 wow Hear in the states the boot is $67.00 for the 450/510 the 310 boot is different
next time i talk to my parts guy i order stuff at least twice a week i will see how much they are maybe we could work something out and send ya one

I actually have some of that exact gasket sealant and was looking at it yesterday. The Zip tying looks like a very practical solution, providing it doesnt displace the head gasket ( I dont imagine it would due to the hi torque on the head). I will do this on mine, thanks.

That would be much appreciated but please dont go out of your way - You get used to it over here. Its not just Husky, all of the brands have a huge markup, but Husky is the most efficient at it. It doesnt make sense as parts are imported directly to both countries I think.

 

[AndrewS]

Possibly it's local import fees and taxes. We get the same thing for many things in Canada vs. the US, including the bikes themselves.

 

[Suputin]

I hate the internet. Now I have to have one of those $200 air fuel meters.

they have them on ebay for the $160.00 range
do you have the $300.00 ibeat set up.

 

[Suputin]

I don't have an ibeat and at this time I don't see buying one. I still need an FMF pipe for the bike.

If you don't have a ibeat don't waste your money on a A/F mixture gage
the ibeat is a must for setting your TPS if that is not right nothing else matters
if you don't want to by a ibeat there is a company that rents them.

 

[Suputin]

Do I need the ibeat while measuring the air fuel mixture or can I go to a dealer and have them set the TPS and then go on about using the air fuel mixture to set up the JDJ box?

This is correct the delear can set your TPS and then you can use the A/F gage and the JD unit to
do the fine tuning

I will contact my buddy and get the info he rented the whole package about a month ago

I talked to my delear and he said the intake boot is 65.73 and they ship to OZ
