  • 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 The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.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 2011 fuel elbow

Hey guys,
I am going to upgrade the fuel elbow #32 in the image to a new alloy one, How does it come out? , do you have to remove the pump to change it?

Just a single screw needs to be removed and then it pulls out. The pump does NOT need to be removed.

The head of the screw prevents the elbow from coming out and there is an oring around the elbow to seal it. You will have to swap the oring from the original to the new alloy elbow.
 
It looks like yours is different. I appologize. The 2013 models the screw is right there and it's a 2 minute job. Guess i don't know how on your bike.

If you look in your parts manual, you'll see two different tanks and fuel systems (TE/TXC is different from the TC and most previous Huskys). Husky changed the fuel pump system for the x-lites (TE & TXC only) and I have never been able to figure out why. The newer system uses two separate 4-bolt plastic access covers: the front one holds the fuel pump and it's weird carrier, and the rear cover has the pressure regulator, wires and fuel outlet. There is a couple of feet of wire, fuel hoses (no kidding-2+ feet) with quick disconnects and a fuel filter between 'em. I think the excess fuel/pressure gets returned to be close as possible to the intake of the fuel pump so you don't run out in a low fuel situation. Speaking of which, the fuel level indicator is no longer part of this system- it's on the other side of the tank. A KTM model (690 IIRC) uses the same fuel pump setup... but still- I have no idea why husky went this route. But this is the infamous plastic outlet design that breaks a lot.

jetmani, You have a plastic outlet on your TC too- but it's more reliable I believe. Also your access cover is a slightly larger 6-bolt aluminum plate that has everything encompassed in it (including a low fuel sensor). Husky has been using this system since '07 (?) and it's been okay.

Can anybody shed any light on the reasoning behind the newer system for me? Thanks.


good luck.
 
here are a couple of images to illustrate the differences.

here is your system jetmani:

and I couldn't even find a complete image of the newer system (you gotta make/break the internal hose & wire connection while the pump is in the tank. sheesh) so here's a detailed ktm diagram, which is the same:

and here is a tank like mine: 2 big holes and 2 little ones (sheesh again):

Thanks,

But how do you get to the screw?[/quote


Thanks for the info guys, this picture isn't actually my tank, I thought it is the same but I could be wrong?
My bike is the TE 250 2011 model.

whoa- I'm not really sure why I thought you had a TC- I guess that image threw me off... but all the (negative) info in my posts above applies to your TE. On the ktm diagram in my previous post, #5 is the outlet and retainer. One external screw, install the new (ZTR or OEM) outlet and you're done.


yeah jetmani- that is the wrong image you're using. That tank and fuel pump plate is what every husky used previously and TCs continued to use; our x-lite TE & TXC tanks are way different.
