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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

starter solenoid clicking

I ride a 2008 Husqvarna TE250.



I had a bad spill a few weeks back, bike took a severe tumble down a hill, couldn’t get the bike started after I had recovered from the tumble myself.



Problem I have is:

Turn on ignition, dash lights up as normal, push full pump button, I hear the fuel pump pressure build up, I then press the starter button only to hear starter solenoid clicking, once stopped the relay switch under the tank starts clicking.

Tried changing the starter solenoid, still same problem
Fuel pump seems to be operating
Battery's got a good charge


I did manage to get it started after the spill by using the kick start, but the bike only ran for a minute until it seemed to have run out of fuel.

Any idea what's up would be greatly appreciated
 
you have 2 problems, possibly unrelated (except for the crash):
  • the bike won't stay running
  • the electric starter system is not working.
get the bike running first. I would take a hard look at the fuel delivery system including internal (in the tank) hoses & filter. also make sure your injector connection is good (talking electrical & fuel here).

The starter thing will be easier. on some ford-type solenoids, you can jump 'em pretty easy with a pair of needle nose (for example) to confirm the starting system (after you get the bike running; bike in neutral and maybe the switch off).

be careful. good luck
