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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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

TE250 2010 Starting problem (Thermal sensor?)

Hello!

I'm thinking of buying a used TE250 2010 that isn't starting at the moment.
Or the seller just told me that it starts with "startgas" (dont know the english word for it but its this spray that you spray to the intake and it will help it to start)

I was first thinking if it could be the thermal sensor which seems to be a pretty common problem on the Husky.
But would it really start with "startgas" then?

It's called "starting fluid" and it will start just about anything with compression and a spark plug.

I would connect it to I-beat and see what it says.

Thanks! Ok, I-beat seems like a good start but I'm curious if anybody know if the bike can act like that due to the temp-sensor, or any other idea.

Not likely the Temp sensor. They usually fail open.

When the temp sensor fails open the bike runs full rich all the time and blubbers and misses as it warms up.
A failed Temp sensor tells the computer the motor is like -20 below zero all the time.
I guess if it is like 100 deg out it might prevent the bike from starting but most just have it run rough after it is warmed up.

OTOH the 2010 sensors were bad from the factory and most were replaced under warranty. I think the good ones are white colored.

When you turn the key on do you hear the fuel pump in the tank "whirr"?

Common problems with this bike are:

Bad fuel pump or relays
Spun flywheel causing wrong IGN timing.
wiring/fuse fault.

You have spark so the switches and spark are there.

Good luck
