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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Battery fine but no prime.

Hi all quick question. Right my '11 te 250 isn't playing nice and starting.
I've checked battery fine plenty of volts. I turn on ignition expecting fuel pump to prime
But, this is not the case. Everything is how it should be apart from the obvious . If anybody has suffered with this little issue or can share some light it would be very much appriciated.
 
My11te250 does the same thing when it is hot ! works fine when it cools down ! bad fuel pump in my case gets hot and siezes up !
 
Dom,

Sorry to hear of your problem.

Things to check:

Kill switch (wiring and internals).
Block connector for fuel pump where pump plugs to loom.
Wiring / block connector for injector (if ECU can't 'see' the injector it won't run the pump).

Other than that it needs plugging in to Ibeat / HST and seeing if any fault codes show up. Your bike still has some warranty left from memory so drop it into a dealer to sort if it's nothing simple.

Cheers hillbilly. Bikes been fine hot or cold had no issues at all with what you've mentioned.

Cheers Dave for pointers, if it's not nothing obvious or jumping out at me can I take it to any dealer?

Yes any Husqvarna dealer, no problem.

This is exactly what happened with my husband's '11 TE250. turned out to be the fuel pump. Try checking the fuse and the relay too. You can see where these are in the downloadable repair manual, just swap them around and see if anything happens. Good luck.
 
There's a temp sensor which shuts off the fuel pump if things get too hot. I've had mine shut off the fuel pump after idling for too long in 105 degree heat. (I was running fuel injector cleaner to try to solve what turned out to be a battery problem) I've read on this forum that you can bypass it to check it or to get home ... but the bike may run in kind of a "limp" mode.
 
ALWAYS check all pertinent fuses and relays. If those front-line diagnostics check out OK then follow this:

If the fuel pump does not prime every time the key or kill button is set to RUN, and the fuel pump sometimes sounds weak and strained, THEN replace the fuel pump.

If the fuel pump primes every time the key or kill button is set to RUN, and the fuel pump always sounds the same, strong and steady, not weak and strained, THEN replace the fuel filter.​
