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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Basically, my fuel pump went out for good on the last ride. I pulled it off while everyone was having lunch and checked the pump directly to the battery and got no movement at all so I bought 2 different pumps on Ebay. (Same pump, but from different suppliers, one with extra screens and parts.) I just installed the pump and I can hear it operating just fine it seems, however the bike is very difficult to start and I have to have the start lever all the way on. If I push it back to normal position the bike idles very low and almost wants to quit. If I add throttle, it will die if I don't add it gently. Everything ran perfectly fine on the last ride and the only thing that failed was the fuel pump itself. So something clearly isn't right and I'm not sure if it's my fuel line routing or the new fuel pump itself.

To me, it sounds like the bike is very lean and I've got blockage somewhere, but everything looks normal including the pump screen at the bottom.

I see a few other threads with similar experiences it seems. I'm kinda wondering if I might have a sensor out also? Fuel injector clogged? The thing is, the bike ran fine for 1/2 a day out in the middle of nowhere....
 
perhaps, in addition to the fuel pump, it has the coolant temperature sensor that does not work well.
do not you have a flashing light that detects the problem?
