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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

The 36 is the size I got and sent to Kelly that he has tested on his 125 and will soon be testing on his 165. They were out of 38's and I couldn't/wouldn't wait so I went with the 36. I can't even remember what they said would be different in terms of power delivery between the 36 and 38's.

Do you know if it's the tapered design or not?

Kelly mine is the 36 straight.

you have one too :D

I will take a picture but the bore is for sure smaller on the bottom than the top. Looks like a taper bore to me.

Toro618 - It is number 0000004 so you could call them and ask.
 
Yep Kelly I just checked and I have (HAD :D) the 36 straight; cost was $775.00 ($787.00 after shipping). The taper bore carbs are $875.00. They all have the funny shape to them; kinda light bulb shaped and not round.
 
LOL I don't know what to call it but it sure works :D. I asked them about the taper bore carbs and they were out of them too so I didn't even ask what the difference would be. They did feel the 36 was a good match for the 125-300 for the type of riding I do.
 
The taper-bore will probably be 38mm on the machined-bore on the airbell side, and taper down to a 36mm nominal bore after the slide. The straight would be 36mm on both sides of the slide. The shape of the venturi, with it smaller at the bottom of the slide, maximizes low-speed intake velocity without sacraficing top-end flow. It would help explain the awesome response and low-end gains, no doubt.

All over. I am from the South. I live in Mississippi and ride the Southern Enduro Riders Asso. Events (My Wife, Debbie is SERA President) and I ride a lot of Nat'l Enduros still.

You should send it to Kelly....

Kelly can contact me and borrow it. I won't be riding for 3 months. Shoulder Surgery next week (HemiArthroplasty). Kelly, Pay shipping both ways and you can borrow it for a week or two. I got a call today saying the Lectron is sitting at the shop that I keep my Vintage bikes at and buy most of my stuff from other than from Hall's Cycles and Motosportz.

I would use the 36mm. A Lectron 38mm smoothbore flows like a 40mm Mikuni.

The Taper bore or as Lectron calls them High Veocity Carb is actually mainly for racing that restricts sizes of carbs so a smaller bore will flow like a larger carb. Lectron recommends staying to smooth bore for most applications.
