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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Not sure that is in the same league as teh APT or Lectron. Here's a quote from the Intelajet review, "The gain in top-end power and overrev was immediately noticeable to every MXA test rider. It has no effect on power below two-thirds throttle, but once the mist kicks in, the KTM 250SX feels like it has a jet pack attached to it."
 
Yeah I can't /won't knock something I haven't tried but know for a fact the SC gains are from the bottom to the top. Really like mine :applause:.
 
APT has the "tip over check valves" ready for existing SmartCarb owners. Simple solution that you can do yourself or send the carb to APT and they will do it for ya. :applause:

I ran one of those (then called Dial-a-jet) on my 02 WR250 and hated it. As it was an add on to an existing carb it was hard to get a real solid install (drill hole in bell and insert) and it had a goofy little foam filer on the jetting thing where i brought in air. Was a mess to install, never was solid, had way to many points of failure for my muddy riding and did not impress me when i had it running. This looks slightly different but same idea. Just my feelings on an older version of it, maybe this one is great.

Dick racing does a nice install job of the dial a jet and the intellajet.He mounts it to the carb body where the air boot clamps-down,and then adds presses a billet ring onto the carb for the air boot to clamp too. Super clean install but makes the overall carb longer. I had the dial a jet and liked it for top end tuning (what its meant for). I thought it worked good but didn't like the little boot you had to un zip tie if you wanted to make an adjustment. The intellajet is way more user friendly and I would of got that instead but at the time it was not available. I like the days we are in now...it's a no brainer Lectron or Smart carb,if supplies are available.

Good info, thanks. I was not bashing Dicks and always hear good things about that shop. Was just commenting on my dislike of the dial-a-jet system which was more mounting issues and that goofy foam filter thing.

I didn't think you were bashing Dick's he just has a good way of mounting it. I think the inventor of the D_A_J was a Bonneville guy who needed more top end fueling. It really is of know use to us trail riders anyway.I didn't like the foam filter thingy either.
