    if you unplug the pump, you should be able to just attach a meter. When you turn on the key the voltage should run for a second or two. On my 610 it was four wires, two for the pump and two for the reserve. I dunno the colors though but if you play around with it you should be able to see 'something' jump with the key.

    How much did they charge for freight to oz? I think I might get one for a spare.[IMG]

    Normal shipping costs for the pump to be sent to OZ is about $36.00 US. I'm supposed to be riding in the Kenda rally on Sunday so I paid $105 for UPS express shipping. It's a little steep i know but there's not much else I could do.
    There is an Australian distributor that sells the same pumps but he doesn't have any in stock.

    I got a fuel pump for my TE 450 today! It's a Husky OEM filter and it's done about 800ks. The previous owner had it replaced under warranty due to a broken wire connecting the low fuel sensor. It was in a 2010 SM 510. The wire/sensor has been replaced and the pump is working as it should.
    I fitted it to my tank a few hours ago. The bike started straight away and the pump isn't making weird noises like the one that I replaced was. I took it for a 15 minute flogging and everything seems ok. I think it was just a dodgy pump. My auto elec friend said that if it's going ok there isn't much he can do as it is recieving power and the relay must be working etc etc.
    I'm taking it for a ride tomorrow morning for a couple of hours just to make sure it's ok because I want to be sure it's all good before I ride it in the rally that I have entered in on Sunday. If it plays up I'll bring it to the auto elec then.
    When i recieve the CA Cycleworks fuel pump I ordered i'll keep that as a spare.

    Any of you guys know how many '08 -'09 Huskys have had a fuel pump failure? Has it happened to 5% of the bikes or 95%? I ask because I am thinking about replacing the pump in my '08 TE250 with the CA Cylcle works pump BEFORE it strands me somewhere deep in the woods. Do you think this would be a pointless exercise in fixing something that isn't broken, or is a failure of my pump inevitable?

    Also, how have the CA Cycle Works pumps been holding up? Anyone heard one of those failing?

    Thanks

    I've got the 08 TE 250 and pump is working fine. I don't think I'll get a new pump until it fails.

    There are mostly anecdotes about failures and it's hard to tell how many relate to running low/out of fuel and burning it up and how many are other.

    Thanks for the reply glangston. My TE250's fuel pump has worked fine for 3 years now, but my bike is fairly low miles/hours. I have wondered if some of the failures were related to frequent operation with a low fuel level in the tank. I have heard that, in some cars at least, that the fuel pump is cooled by being immersed in fuel and driving with less than 1/4 tank of gas is hard on the pump. Don't know if this is true for our bikes though.
