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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

2010 TE450 with 22 miles, fuel pump quit working

What do you feel caused the problem and what resolved it?

I haven't done anything of consequence or changed anything that would make me feel that the problem is resolved. I got up this morning and the fuel pump primes fine.

I remember reading something about "engine heat" and "under the tank" and something "quit working". I can't remember if this was about a Husky and the fuel pump or some other bike and some other component, I've done waaay too much reading about bikes in the last month, prepping to get this Husky, I get jumbled on all the things I've read.....

Thanks for everyone's help, I'll be starting a few more threads today......:D

I've had two FI problems with my 09 TE 450. The battery connection came loose, causing the bike to stall and miss, then restart. The second was the pos. connection at the fuel pump inside the tank broke. The wire looked good untill I pulled on them.

Yeah, I will probably pull the tank today, and check the fuel pump wiring and I guess I could pull the fuel pump as well, don't really want to at this point, I might wait until I get a bigger tank to check the fuel pump itself.
 
FUSES- 20a is for lighting , 2- 15 amps are for EFI-

Fall Sensor (SM only) The rest (TE in this case) have a resister plug inplace (as shown in your attatched picture).
 
Well, after pushing the bike to a gas station yesterday with 45 miles on the clock, and .7 gals remaining, and replacing the stock fuse (which was good) with an automotive fuse, I thought today would be a better day. NOT. Started with a near full tank. Ran some errands to 5 different stores, 5-10 mins in each stores, (including my local Husky dealer, where I learned the bike has 4 weeks of warranty left on it), came out of each store, pump primed, bike ran well. Got home, parked, put stuff up, put the bike on the step stand I got, turn the key on.....no pump prime. It's been an hour now of trying it every 10 minutes....no prime. I've tapped the tank, I tapped the pump base plate...nothing...no priming whir. But here's the good thing: I filmed it all: the "no pump whir", I shot the clock in my garage each time I tried the key, I will burn many little clips onto a DVD and give it to the dealer tomorrow when I take it in. There shouldn't be any issue with "we can't re-create the problem". I'm thinkin' I'll get a new fuel pump assembly tomorrow. And then when I get my 15t CSS, I'm gonna ride this puppy hard for the next 4 weeks.
 
My buddys new '10 TE 450 (approx. only 250 miles on it) did the exact same thing to him (us) yesterday. The fuel pump would not prime. It did prime again after waiting awhile. I had tools and fuses but only replaced the two 20amp fuses on the exhaust side. We even pulled the tank trail side and checked for a dislodged fuel pump. It was in place and eveything looked good. I did replace the fuel pump zip tie for good measure. The bike primed and fired up. He then took a soil sample and again no prime. I had to tow that brand new (pos :thumbsdown: ) TE 450 for awhile untill we got out to a road we could stash it and get to it with a truck to extract it. Thankfully the thing primed and we made it the 10 miles back to the trucks.

I have been reading everything I can find on CH about this. This thread is of the same exact issue. I read of new fuel filters, replace the fuel pump in other threads. What is the certain fix to this issue?

He bought it new in Dec. Hoping he is still in warranty.
 
Get the CA CycleWorks fuel pump, the pump in the bike will never work right, it has built up sludge in it that you cannot clean out of the tight toleranced pump, anytime it gets hot, it will swell up and stop working. It won't be in warranty.

Plus, I guarantee the 2010 TE450 is no POS, it's only that the fuel pump got abused with no use and it's ruined. Replace it and the bike will shine.

Thank you for the help. I was thinking the fuel pump needs to be replaced. The bike was on the dealers floor for proably two years. I know the bike (all Husky's) really is not a pos, but by the end of the day that is all I could think of. :censored: That tow starp I have been packing around for ages finally got put to use, but dang the terrain was brutal. I tried the starp on my foot peg and it got in my back tire. I then looped it acroos the grab handles of my sub frame and my slowing down/his delayed braking got the strap in his front tire and he took a soil sample because of it. It was a lesson day for sure. Thank goodness it came to life long enough to run the last 10 miles back to the trucks. :notworthy:
