  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 Question about using Mikuni TMX on 2000 360

Has anyone used a TMX on a 250/360 from the 90s -2002ish? Because the carb bowl hits the engine cases (interference) I have to position it a bit tilted, which seems to be causing some fuel draining out the overflow tubes.
Does anyone know if I just need to adjust the float level a bit lower, or is this carb just not suitable for this bike?
Thanks!
 
mine has a TM not TMX
don't know if they are different dimensions, but,,, mine does touch the case, barely
 
i ran my 95 with the stock tm for awhile before switching to lectron..i tilted it slightly and never had an issue. maybe verify your float height is correct?
 
The TM's and Lectrons will touch the cases too. I'm thinking it must be the float height, or I've read that many of the newer TMX carbs have a bad metering block gasket, which could be part of the problem. The carb doesn't leak when the bike is standing upright. Only when leaned on the side stand.
 
I just needed to change the float height to spec and replace the jet block seal to make the TMX work. There are some good videos out there on how to set these up on the modern KTMs and Huskys. No overflow now.
 
I replaced my intake rubber boot (between carb and reeds)
Because mine was dry/cracked. I got the one made by Hot Foot Moto and my carb float bowl is now
3/16" or so up off the engine case...no more rubbing or messing with the carb in the boot to keep it from rubbing. Im still rocking the original early style tmx that came on my 1994 wxc250. . . Maybe this will help someone
