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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

I was riding my '12 TE310 today, did about 80 miles in the heat. No really hard moto, just trail riding. I shut the bike down to push through a tunnel under some train tracks. When I started the bike back up it idled and then died. Tried a couple more times and same thing. Then it wouldn't start. I waited a while and the bike fired back up. 5 miles later the same thing. Waited a few minutes and then it fired right back up. To me it sounds like a sensor or ECU went bad. I had a car that did that and had the ECU replaced. Anyone seen a problem like this? Ideas? Thanks.

We keep having fuel pumps with the same symptoms if the pump isn't cycling Id replace it or run power direct as soon as it happens it should turn over if not replace it,we have better pumps for about $130

Wow that's a great price. If I remember right the fuel pump on my WR250X was over $300. Atleast it quit at the dealer when I was getting new tires put on...lol
 
So the problem, a known problem, is the fuel pump? I did the zip tie mod earlier. So now the pump is just bad? I thought I could hear is cycling as I turned the key on. Is the new pump a Husky part? What about the threads that talk about using a Ducati pump?

You should definitely listen to the pump at cold start up and know what it sounds like when it's priming cold, and then see if there is any difference when the bike and the tank and the gas are hot, does it sound different, more labored, slower.

The CAcycleWorks pump for Huskies is the correct 30mm pump, any other pump MIGHT be 38mm, the pump for Ducatis is definitely 38mm and will be a bitch to install.
 
I had a similar problem a couple months back. Luckily it happened first in the shop before I left on a major ride. I found that my issue was in the connector from the wiring harness to the fuel pump. When I wiggled the connector, the pump would charge the system. I unplugged it and replugged it in and it worked good again for about a week.

On my return trip, I caught a bit of air, had a bit of a bumpy landing and the bike suddenly died. Initially I thought I ran out of fuel. Checked the tank. Lots of fuel. Then unplugged and replugged in the fuel pump connector and away she went. I've since applied some dielectric grease to the pins in the connector and it's been good since.

I'm not saying that's your issue, but it would suck to spend the money on a pump if it's just a bad connection.

Hope you get her running soon.

I found that my fuel pump connectors were shorting out after my homemade insulation wore out from all the vibration.

Just ordered the IMS 2.9 gal tank and a CA Cycle works pump. gonna check all the connections during the transfer of tanks. Rode the bike 2 days ago and the bottom end seemed so feeble, until I hit the gas. So between the new pump and an upcoming new air filter I'm hoping the problem will be solved. Prepping for the LA-B-LV run in December. Need to bullet proof everything.

I had a similar fuel pump issue. OlderHuskyRider solved it, so got a CACycleWorks pump and all has been right for an additional 85 hours now.

Everyone in this thread has good suggestions. Gosh I love CafeHusky.
 
Installed an IMS 2.9 gal tank, and yes it is leaking from the rear seal. Any suggestions how to fix this? Also the new pump worked. Yet after about 2 miles the bike quit. Again. And has not started since. So new fuel pump, which I'm happy to have installed for bulletproofing, yet the bike is still broke. Back to the dealer. Between this bike and the TE250, one or the other has been in the shop basically since Dec when we bought them. This is frustrating and the money invested could have bought orange. This is the greatest bike I've ever ridden, when it runs. BTW, anyone know how to disconnect the "quick disconnect" fuel lines in the tank? Had to work around that one.
 
Permatex #2 (the non hardening black stuff), use a little on the o-ring, it should seal it up. Any other sealant/RTV will not hold up to gasoline, plus it will allow you to remove the pump easily enough in the future.
