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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fuel screw measurement?

Greetings folks,

on the used 2006 610 that I purchased it had an aftermarket fuel screw installed which I found out was too short and the wrong taper. I purchased another aftermarket adjustable one from SRT and the taper measures what I think is correct however the length is not right.

Does anyone have a measurement of the actual needle length from the shoulder? I'd like to run an adjustable one but it's looking like I'll have to order a stock screw or try another one. I've read that the Scotts one works well and is correct is this true?

cheers,

Mike
 
For the record I've use an MSR aluminum fuel screw which is the "wrong" length from the tip/taper to the bottom of the threads - and it works just fine. The exact placement of the threads on the shaft did not make a difference.

If you have not tried the fuel screws you have you may want to.




Did you really want "Fuel screw measurement" as a title? Maybe "Which Fuel screw?" Whatever you want it titled is fine by me. If you want to change it double click just to the right of the title and when viewing Main Forum and you should be able to change it.

I don't like the aluminum fuel screws. I had a MSR and it was a short, wide taper compared to the stock brass screw. While tuning my carb, I tried to bottom the screw out and shut off the fuel... the bike just keep running so this screw was junk. I replaced it with a Merge Racing which is brass with a fine tip. The Merge Racing has a T-handle made of plastic for easy adjustment. I would definitely recommend a T-handle like Scott's or Merge Racing.
