I have a 2009 TE250/310 w/about 1k miles. Just recently I've been having trouble with the bike starting. When I press the start button on the right, it still primes but won't kick over. After trying a couple times and rolling the bike I pressed it again and the tone of the primer went a little lower and it started right up. Then I got home and tried it again.. the pitch was a bit higher and it wouldn't start. It sounds like something in the fuel pump isn't engaging what it should or it's not filling up. Any advice??
Have you ever taken the pump assembly out and inspected it? The "nest" they are in is less than best design. I ended up safety wiring mine so it stayed in the pump assembly as designed. If it moves up in the assembly some, it will not work correctly.
