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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Gluing plastic connector?

Trying to find a radiator leak I somehow dropped my gas tank and snapped a red plastic connector (to the fuel pump). I looked on Halls parts PDF and it looks like I would need to buy an entire fuel pump assembly to get this one piece. :eek:

Does anyone know if I could use an epoxy or something to glue the plastic connector together ??????? Will it mess up the fuel somehow if I do this???

I really don't want to spend $500 on a fuel pump when mine works fine.

You are not going to be sucessfull gluing that elbow (I doubt a glue/epoxy would hold it long enough to even plug in the fuel line, yet alone be a long term fix). I wouldn't waste time trying.

there are some options to check on...
Zipty racing made an elbow for 11 250/310s, I do not know that it will fit our bikes (450/510)- but I can't imagine why it wouldn't either. I'd do some research, or contact Zipty to find out. Maybe someones done it here too and will chime in... http://www.ziptyracing.com/husqvarna-gas-tank-elbow/
Another thing to attempt before buying a new assembly: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/efi-fuel-pump-plastic-elbows-they-break-here-are-solutions.2541/

If I broke mine I'd be looking at the 2 above solutions and determine what whould be best for me at the time. Sorry for your bad luck, and hope you can resolve this without more troubles.
