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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

250-500cc Kx 250 Carb Instead Of Tmx

How will the reed block spacer affect the power? I have heard they increase bottom end. Is this a noticeable difference? Will is also affect top end? I just ordered a Moose torque spacer for a 2001 Honda CR250 so I can fit up my 36 PWK. It looks like the same bolt pattern. Just wondering if it may be better to put it on the carb side of the reeds?
 
No, put it on the reed side. You won't see any top end lose, but may see low end gain. With the 36 you see a lot of low end gain and some lose on top.
 
Wow...it helps that much? What has to be done to install?
I tried to research it but its hard to anything in english.
 
Probable not, but I like what it does. Half that would be about right.

Install is about a 30 second job. You just pull the cover and instal the new cover with the TEC on it. There is a pin on the PV arm that the TEC slides over and that's it.

built a spacer out of 3/16 6061 alu, got a new kx cable off of ebay for $1.50. now i just need a kx throttle tube and it will be a complete set up. everything clears wonderfully, and maybe ill gain a touch of tourqe down low. im going to start at middle clip position, 170 main, and 45 pilot a/s at 1.5 turns so it might be close....?

I could be wrong, but I don't think your bike has a Husky intake manifold. It looks more like a Honda manifold to me. Could be why your carb hit the cases and mine didn't. :excuseme:
 
Well it runs perfect! Absolutly perfect jetting is near spot on! By my guesstimate. My intake is certainly husky, crappy molding and all. I didn't notice a lack of top end and very little to no benefit on bottom, but my power is much smoother almost linear! It's going to be even more enjoyable in the Knarley technical stuff I love. As far as the part no for the valve I will have to look it up. They only list one that is a straight down flow grooved for o ring or non grooved.

Yeah, mine is too. Very smooth and linear. Crawls around in the tight stuff, yet pulls out hard on top. I love it. It's just about the perfect motor.
 
it really is, but i could stand to have a little more over rev. i was on the verge of splitting the case to port and match everything, but decided against it. seems i havnt been on a 250 that worked as good as my 02 kx250 that i reworked, it was as smooth as my husky with a touch less bottom but linear and reved like a 125.
 
Snooper, do you have a photo of your carb fully installed? I tried my other petcock with the forward spigot and it still doesnt fit. I looked at the Clarke one and I think it will hit that too. Im wondering if yours is different from the 09. I really wanted to get my 36 to work but I may have to get the 38 screw top.
