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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

hi I'm in the uk so don't suffer from altitude changes,annoyingly the engine keeps stalling when feathering the clutch going down slops or in tight woods,it also keeps pissing fuel out the overflow,constantly stripping it to stop it,then does it after an hour of riding,I was wondering if I got a used KTM carb and fitted that? it's a 2013,anybody know anything to help???
 
Float level is either too high or needle and seat is not sealing. Some carbs have a small "O" ring around the brass seat where it screws into the carb body, make sure the "O" ring is not flattened out or hard and broken.
 
Yup check float valve height should be about 16-18 mm if i remember correct.
Where bout in uk you @ am in gloucester if thats close will help our if needed
 
Toss the mikuni and fit the ktm keihin and never look back ! I got fed up real quick with the mikuni it changes with the weather where the pwk does not suffer half as bad. I had to run quite a fat main jet on the 144 with the pwk but most of the uk ktm 125 / 144s are jetted fat up top stock, from memory I think I was up to around a 205 main where a 144 ktm is a 210
 
save yourself some money and try bending tang up a bit to lower height of float - should be around 5 or 6mm
if too high it will run crap
