Hope this is in the correct place on the site. I have been trying to get spares for the plastic elbow in the fuel pump but it isn't listed as a separate part in the Husqvarna catalogue. I was speaking with dealers here (UK) and it seems that there may be a Sherco part that can be fitted. Also, seemingly, the elbow in question is listed as an individual item in the Sherco catalogue. The fuel pump assembly is reported to be very similar between the marques. I'm going to be checking mine the afternoon and I'll add to this if I find anything more.
Firebolter Thanks for the link and I did have a look at it. The thing is that I dont want to have to atempt that on the trail. I thought that spares and direct replacement would be the way to go. Especially as I have and event coming off and I'm trying to think of the spares to take with me. As it turns out the Sherco item is available and has been identified as the correct part. I have ordered up a couple - just incase?
how much were the replacements? I was gonna go with brass ones threaded in if I ever break the stocker. Fix it once and be done approach.
http://www.eldonjames.com/html/product.html just an FYI, this company makes parts for the OEMs in many fields including automotive and medical. They may have a crossover part. Thay have many choices in many specs On my 06 TE450 I used their GFBN Tee fitting (OEM BMW/GM spec)
I saw that, but it says, "2011". It may be the same as the 2008 that I need, but it seems like they would say so. I guess I could call them and ask. I'll share the info here later today.
Bringing back and old thread......but did this Zipty fuel elbow ever work? Any possible follow up? thanks! (just busted mine yesterday )
I ordered an OEM replacement and put it in my spares. Then I ordered the ZipTy metal one (I used the special orings from my new spare OEM one) Ty has opened the angle slightly to make it easier to deal with. Its 100% worth getting the metal replacement ZipTy manufactured one. Buy and install the ZipTy part!! PS Long nosed angle extended needle nose pliers modified with bent in tips work great to unlock the fitting.
I thought you couldn't get OEM elbows? Are you talking about the Sherco one? If so do you have a part number for the OEM???? If that Zipty works it would be perfect!
TE-TXC250 TE310/2011 parts catalog Fig 28A Item 38 P/N 8000 H5398 and if I remember it isn't even expensive, @ $15 US (I think) and comes with the special compound o-rings. But do order the ZipTy metal one the thing is bullet proof and the open angle shape facilitates maintenance . http://www.ziptyracing.com/husqvarna-gas-tank-elbow/
Last question (I hope) do you know if this compatible with the 2010 TE510? and huge thanks for the help!
https://www.halls-cycles.com/Catalog/PDF/Husqvarna .PDFs/2010/310-450-510_2010.pdf I have no idea, here's the catalog. It does not break out the elbow as a seperate part. Ty's part is listed as 250/310 specific. For under 20 something bucks it may be worth giving it a try.
I'll order them up and see if it works. If not I'll get the Sherco plastic one. Thanks again for the help
Halls-cycles definitely can help you. I broke mine off my 2011 TC250. Got a replacement in really fast from them. Came in white instead of red though (no biggie). Shoot them an email. Good luck!
Great thread! I just broke mine removing the gas tank with very little pressure!! Just ordered the replacement from ZipTy.
FYI, I did the same but the Zip-Ty aluminum elbow didn't fit tightly enough into the pump assembly. Also, on my bike the elbow was too tall. It didn't clear part the frame because it stuck out too far. Hopefully it works for you though!
I had similar issue when I went to install mine. You should rotate the elbow so it clears the frame, I re-routed/realigned the fuel hose and the tank fits much better. It took me about half an hour to fiddle with it to get it to work since the tank would not seat correctly. The hose has very little give. The aluminum fitting is the only way to go.
