FWIW, I have seen Ducati started to use stainless steel hose clamps around the plastic clips on their similar fuel pumps. Why not get a 1" hose clamp and clamp that sucker?

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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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!

I did the fix yesterday.....I did two safety wires around the top, one including the clip, the other one above the clip. Then I did one from top to bottom. I also added a bit of wire to the orange (low fule sensor) wire and wrapped that sucker around the sensor. Hopefully, I won't have anymore "pushing my bike" problems****************************************!!

I did the fix today. I would post pics but they look just like everyone elses pics.
I was loosing power down shifting and braking with at least 3/4 of a gallon left. We'll see what this does.

Guys, just a heads-up on the filter for those that dig into this... As pictured below, US fuels with ethanol will "soften" plastic filters and cause them to come apart in time. I highly recommend replacing the fuel filter with an all metal one, such as Wix 33032 (<$10). Just FYI.

Where is this filter located on a 08 610?

First what is that filter out of ?
If not a Husky don't alarm people and start a panic.

Everything I have read on this issue is with the fuel pump coming out of the nest, is mostly 08's and some 09's. Has anyone seen this mentioned on the 10's? Just curious.

This is the "Pump migrates out of the holster", right???
Someone asked if the 2010s were affected right?
I posted that I had a 2010 and it was still a problem and that I fixed the problem with help from this thread. Which is separate and distinct from my fuel pump seizing problem, which I didnt even mention, because that's not what is being discucced here. Someone else mentioned my other problem. Not me.
Why would you even think of merging this thread with any other??

I understand completely, but by having you post to multiple threads in about the same time frame it makes it difficult for people to keep up. They read a thread about a topic (fuel pump) then they see another thread about the same topic by the same person and they generally get a 'didn't I just read something similar?' moment.
I can see where you stated that you will post in fewer threads about the fuel pump issue from now on, that is probably the best solution.
I closed one thread, and I will merge a couple more. I also moved 2 threads from the efi forum cause fuel pumps really don't fall into the same category as iBeat/IBeat settings/powercommander/etc
This is a great thread and should stand on its own - it even has a reference to this thread in the tech ref section.

Hey waserman, it's been 4.5 years since your last post in this thread but am wondering how you got the bike fixed. I think I have a similar issue as you do. I took the pump out of the tank and indeed the pump had slipped out of its location. I went ahead and did the zip-tie mod. However, the bike won't start still. I do not hear the fuel pump starting up when I turn the ignition key on. I suspect a failed relay or failed pump. I will begin my troubleshooting tomorrow but am wondering if anyone has any insight into what could be going on.
Side question: If the fuel tank is empty, would I still hear the pump starting up when I turned the ignition key?
Thanks!
