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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

630 fuel hose problem

Hoping someone can help with a quick and easy solution to this. In removing the tank to replace a radiator after the weekend, the clip which holds the fuel pipe onto/into the fuel pump has cracked and come off. I found out as I restarted the bike, as the pressure built it just blew the tube out and fuel went all over the (hot) manifold. That was an interesting few seconds. Anyway, there is now nothing to hold on the pipe and I've checked the parts manual and it's not listed as a seperate part? Its the black "collar" in the pic

I don't have a problem with that, they're a business, they're there to make money. But in this case I don't want to have to buy a new fuel pump assembly for the sake of a part which costs less than 10 cents/pence. ALso the outer o ring is torn which is a pain but I'm sure I can find a new o ring from somewhere.
 
I'd start with a trip to auto parts store, might find something (fuel filter?) you can remove one from. Take the fuel line along.

I did all that. Spent all day yesterday doing it. No fix apart from zip ties and epoxy which I'm not happy with. I've found a fuel pump at a breaker so just put it in and all good
