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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

Fuel Related Starting Problem

Hey everyone! I am in desperate need of some advice/guidance. My 2011 TE 449 will not start. It began cutting out when I was riding as if I was running out of fuel. I got home and there was nearly half a gallon left, so I inspected the filter elements both at the petcock and in the lower fuel tank. Sure enough the lower tanks strainer was quite dirty. I cleaned it out as best I could--it is attached permanently on my model. Then, I went to try to start it and nothing...not even the poor running it had been doing. I rechecked all connections, made sure I was of course getting spark, which I was, and I am stumped. I was afraid my fuel pump had failed, so I ordered and installed a new one, but no different result.
I did notice one thing that may be a tell-tale to anyone in the know! It used to be, about 30 seconds after I turned off the ignition, I heard a cool electrical/mechanical sound that I assumed to be something shutting down (perhaps the fuel pump). That no longer happens; however, if I listen really closely, there is a very quiet click at the relay on the left side of the bike. I suspect the pump is never actually getting powered up, but I don't know why.
Any thoughts at all are greatly appreciated.
Thanks so very much in advance for any help at all!
Sincerely,
Kevin
 
Double check all of your connections. If it doesn't run the shut down sequence then you might have done something wrong. Also go through the breather check valve and hose for good measure.
