2008 Te450 - Ebay Fuel Pumps

Just picked up my first Husky (and a first dirt bike ever).
All was good for the first km but then the engine started dying while in gear.
Every time I started it again, it died quicker and quicker and finally I couldn't even get it going in neutral.
Cranks fine but I don't hear the pump engaging.

Called the nearest dealer, they want $900CAN for a new pump.
That is plain crazy.

Question is - have any of you guys used these ebay pumps?
Am I just throwing money away?
I've owned several bikes but never had a fuel pump issue before so this new territory to me.

Thanks!

A few people have reported satisfactory results; more have liked CA Cycleworks stuff, but it's $135USD. IMO (no experience) either one of those ebay pumps would be fine if the fuel line fits and is submersible... or just re-use yours, I guess. That stuff is hard to work with though.

I'd first make sure it's your fuel pump. Could be a filter, spilt line, regulator, or clogged injector too. And I'm close to deaf- I've never been able to hear my fuel pump ever.

good luck.

Having similar fuel pump issues with my 2009 year 310. I just purchased the ca cycle works pump after finding that thread after thread of people suggesting it as a replacement. The original pump is a 30mm fuel pump and now ca cycle makes a 30mm to replace the factory one with out modifying any of the housing. I am still in the process to fix it. But it appears to be very good quality. They also sell the fuel pump regulator. I would stay away from any cheap ones made in China.

Thanks for the replies. I pulled the pump out and it's actually running.

Not sure what the problem is. Put a new spark plug in too.

I'll have to go back to the drawing board ....

I noticed that the neutral light flashes few times when the key is turned on.
Gonna research that too. Maybe the problem is linked.

check your fuel pressure too.

...and your wiring harness and coil.

Take a look at this thread. If you could read the whole thing, you'd learn a lot; but there is value in it from just skimming too:
