  Patrick BurgessAug 21, 2025
  If the Husqvarna Motorcycle TE 150 US engine won't crank with the electric starter, several factors could be at play. It might be an operating error, so ensure you're following the correct start procedure. The battery could be discharged, requiring a recharge, voltage check, and open-circuit current check. A blown main fuse could also be the culprit, so replace it if necessary. Finally, the starter relay or the starter motor itself could be faulty and require inspection.

  Edward RomanAug 22, 2025
  If your Husqvarna Motorcycle engine has too little power, consider these potential causes. The fuel feed might be interrupted, so check the fuel tank breather and clean the fuel tap; also check the carburetor components. A very dirty air filter can restrict airflow, so clean the air filter and air filter box. Inspect the exhaust system for leaks or deformation and replace the glass fiber yarn filling in the main silencer if needed. Also, a fault in the ignition system could be the reason, so check it. Lastly, inspect the diaphragm and reed valve housing for damage.

  If your Husqvarna Motorcycle engine is overheating, several factors could be responsible. Check for too little coolant in the cooling system, and inspect for leaks and check the coolant level. Ensure there's enough air stream; switch off the engine when stationary. Clean the radiator fins if they're very dirty. If there's foam formation in the cooling system, drain and refill the coolant. Inspect the cylinder head and cylinder head gasket for damage. Finally, replace the radiator hose if it's bent.
