Had my off road cherry well and truly popped last weekend and absolutely loved it. However, the mighty Husky 250 will not start. Hmmm.
Having potentially diagnosed the injector as the problem, I'm wondering, I can get an OE spec Keihin unit for £100 + or a pattern part for £28/£30... anybody have any ideas if the cheaper ones, from reputable retailers, are any good or if they're that much cheaper for a reason??
Thinking for £30 ish, probably worth a try, even if it isn't the problem but not if they're a load of rubbish and only going to last 10 minutes....

Don't care who you are, how much you have, how powerful you are. You still sit on the toilet with your pants around your ankles. Yep, it's a level playing field..

Buy cheap, buy twice.
Seen lots of people use aftermarket injectors "claimed bosch etc" as well as "refurbished" and don't think I tested a set which passed the tolerance test on the asnu injector tester.
If you can cross reference the injector and buy from a trusted supplier then maybe but for the peace of mind, would just get genuine.

Re: Injector replacement
Can you run your injector out of the throttle body first, just to be sure your injector has failed?
How have you narrowed it down to being the injector and not something else preventing it from injecting?

Re: Injector replacement
Well, turns out my suspicion of fuel was correct. Turns out, after much diagnosis and taking fuel system apart, yada yada yada,
I checked the fuse, yet again. Buzzed through, and looked solid but then didn't buzz, did buzz, didn't buzz. Still looking solid but replaced and hey presto, fuel pump's working properly and all running correct and well.
Frustrating but learned a lot about the fuel system in the process....

Re: Injector replacement
You're right to be cautious about going for a cheaper part. Often, those significantly cheaper options can be hit or miss—sometimes they're perfectly fine, but other times they might be less durable or have quality control issues. However, if reliability is critical for you, spending the extra money on the OE spec Keihin unit might be the safer bet in the long run. It depends on how much risk you're willing to take and how quickly you want to be back on the trails.
