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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Best way to clean TE310 injector.

Wondering if anyone has clenead their injector before and has a good way to do it? Do I need to take off the tank to access the injector? Will taking out the injector throw out the TPS?
 
I can't answer the question on the TPS, but I did clean the injector on my 310. I did take the tank off, more room to work, makes it easier, not certain if you could remove the injector with tank in place. What out for fragile plastic elbow on tank to fuel line. I had ordered the ZipTy Racing Alu elbow and hand on hand in case I broke the stock one.

I had googled a couple of video on cleaning once the injector is out. Seemed to work quite well. I attached a small length of tubing to the injector where the fuel line connects and filled with carb cleaner. Got a 9-volt batter and taped the lead from my multimeter to the pow/neg terminals, then I simply put pressure on the tubing filled with the carb cleaner as it touched the leads to the injector terminals. You will be able to hear the injector open and see the spray from the injector as the fluid goes through. I did this a couple of times. The spray pattern on the shop towel was even. My injector was quite clean so not much in terms of dirt or discoloration showing up on the shop towel.

It was pretty easier even for a newbie like myself. Google this and watch a video or two on it.

Most efi shops will ultrasonic clean and flow test car injectors for 20 dollars an injector . I'd prolly just do that .

If it's the cheap to get done that's an easy call.
For mine it was more eliminating possible causes of the bike running poorly. The easy test I did showed the injector was not the issue. If I had been $20 to get it cleaned would be welcomed over the purchase of a new one.
 
Thanks DJ Easterby, to get the injector out will I need to stop the fuel flow somehow? Or will that not be a problem?

except for residual momentary pressure in the fuel line (warning: could be 40-50psi) the fuel system will not flow gas. Unplug the fuel pump though- because someone is bound to hit the starter and cause a 2 second burst.
