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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I thought id try a Mikuni on my TE250 to compare with 36mm Keihin

Its actually a RB designs modified 39mm TMXX with divider plate - from my Italian Husky


Fairly predictably it definitely seemed to have more mid to top end power
and revved harder . Lost some of the choked up feeling
It did lose a bit of the torque and was bogging slightly


Funnily enough I got a nice plug read for first time - that was a lucky guess .
450 main with 35 pilot .

But it could also have been change in oil from Motul 800 to Maxima Castor oil

I tried slightly richer main and pilot settings and this helped a bit but the plug was slightly rich looking .

For my type of riding - more technical I think the 36mm carb is better suited so I will put that back on .

Ive always been a Mikuni fan but if I had a '17 husky Id be wondering what it would be like with a 36mm Keihin ( or a 36mm Lectron )
If I had an older TC 250 or Ktm 250 sx for MX Id be thinking Mikuni .
