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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Help with my carb

I recently purchased a 99 TE 610. It was running poorly, so I took the carb apart for a good cleaning. I screwed up and didn't count how far out the adjustment screws were. I was able to get the carb back together and started the bike. It ran for about 5 or 6 minutes and then died. It was idleing very high and I noticed that the pipes were glowing red near the engine. Now, I can't get the bike started again to save my life. I was hoping someone could give me a starting point for how far out the most forward screw (I'm assuming the idle screw). It has been several years since working on motorcycles, so I am extremely rusty. I currently have the air/fuel mix screw out 1.5 turns. The carb is a Dellorto PHM 40.

Thank you for any and all help!

Greg
