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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

WARNING: NOOB QUESTION How to know when the fuel screw is all the way in.

wondering how to know when my fuel screw is "all the way in"

It seems like it gets harder and harder to screw in, but it doesn't "stop"

Also I have not tried to screw it in once it gets difficult to turn because I don't want to break it.

can someone help me understand when the screw is all the way in? then I can measure how many turns out I do.

Thanks,

NOOB
 
It sounds like your feeling the spring compress under the fuel screw. You might count the turn out and remove, Inspect the threads for galling. My guess is you are very close to bottoming. But I don't want to see you strip that thing out. You could also count the turn back in with out the spring for reference. Good luck and report back. TW
 
Sounds like something may be wrong. I've seen 2 different new aftermarket fuel screws with the threads messed up so you may want to put the original fuel screw in to experiment "how it feels" when the fuel screw snugs up - you can do that with the carb rotated and use a regular screw driver.

And/or you may want to take the fuel screw out and be sure the spring washer & oring are in the correct order as shown in the video that I posted.

Should go in fairly easy then snug up significantly.
