Well this is a pain. Went for a ride yesterday to put some more miles on my IMS tank, found some mud and got a bit dirty. This morning gave the bike a really good wash. Got it pretty spotless. Started and ran afterwards no problem. Went to go for a ride this afternoon, bike started fine, but no instruments or lights. Checked under the seat and 20 amp fuse had blown. Replaced it, went to start the bike and heard an audible pop. Now the bikes completely dead. No lights, starter, no nothing. Dead as a dodo. Checked battery and 14 volts at the terminals. If the bike had a main fuse, thats where I'd look, but according to the manual there is no main fuse. What gives???
Found it. The main fuse is located on the starter solenoid. Strange the manual makes no mention of it at all. Had to ring the local Husky dealer to find out about it. It was blown. The cause, I had pinched the external fuel pump wiring when mounting the pump. Rewired an all good.
Damn. Spoke too soon. My 20 amp lighting fuse keeps blowing. Sometimes the 20 amp main fuse blows instead. If I remove the lighting fuse, the bike will run, just no lights or instruments. Its not the fuel pump wiring, because its been fixed and it would blow the 15 amp fuel pump fuse anyway. I hate electrics!
Found 3 exposed wires around the tail light assembly. Hopefully its sorted now. Had another really strange issue with the main fuse. Tried a number of new fuses, sometimes they worked mostly not. Cut open the fuse holder to see if there was a break in the fuse connection. Nope all good. Fitted a glass inline fuse holder with a spade connector on each end and it works perfectly! Still no idea why the spade fuses wouldn't work.
May want to read this: http://www.cafehusky.com/threads/te630-blowing-fuel-pump-fuse.28893/ Fuses are mislabeled on cover. .
Yeah, knew about this Bob. Fortunately it was the lighting fuse I kept blowing, not the fuel pump fuse.
