When I start the motor it kicks in the pump, pressures up and starts every time. But after a while at idle it will start to cycle power to the pump.... then finally no power to the pump at all and dies. Pump works fine hooked straight to battery.

So I have some kind of electrical issue. I cleaned the contacts on the fuse and relay... even swapped them with the fan's, no help. Now I'm thinking there is some kind of oil pressure switch inline with the fuel pump but I can't follow the wiring diagrams very well. Has anyone worked on this circuit?

PS. I replaced the fuel pump with a Premium 5211007 (autozone) and it works fine on straight battery power. It fits better than the Bosch too because it's fatter and comes with hard rubber surround. I changed the line from the filter to the pump to 3/8 too.

Oops! never mind... it is crapping out even with the fuel pump directly connected to a battery. When the pressure starts dropping I can pinch the output hose of the pump... then it'll get a burst of fuel and fill back up again. It's acting like it's not getting fuel to the pump... or maybe not enough fuel and getting too hot? I'll go run it into a gas can until the tank is empty to see if it has good constant flow.

Pumped a whole tank out no problems... cool as a cucumber. Next I hooked up the regulator to see if I could get a tank through it... nothing coming out of the regulator at all!! so I think I was overheating my pump is all. I don't think I'll find one that mounts like this one, so I'll first try taking it apart :) haha

Easy enough! problem solved. The regulator is just like any spring loaded regulator. Cleaned it up and it's ok now. I have it set at 60lbs and it runs fine... but I think I remember reading 73lbs?

Found it on pg 53 in the 2009 manual

Fuel pressure adjustment Never make unnecessary adjustments. The factory recommended settings are correct for most applications. The recommend fuel pressure is 3.5kgf/m2 (49.8 psi). It’s not necessary to adjust fuel pressure unless the fuel pressure really needs to be adjusted. To adjust the fuel pressure: 1. Loose the lock-nut with a 14mm spanner as the following picture. 2. Turn the adjustment-bolt clockwise with a inner hexagon spanner to increase the fuel pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease the fuel pressure. 3. Keeping one eye on the fuel pressure indicator while turn the adjustment-bolt, when the indicator shows about 3.5kgf/m2 (49.8 psi), stop turning, and tighten the lock-nut.

Until it shows "about 49.8psi" haha

I got it as close to 49.8 as I could : )

It still doesn't run perfect yet though. It sputters sometimes at full throttle and feels like it loads up at crawling throttle. It is new to me and I had to start with a complete overhaul, so I don't know how many other problems I need to deal with... but it feels like some sensors are AFU. The motor was smoking like a chimney when I got it, and by the looks of the motor internals they ran it like that a loooong time. I'm guessing the O2 sensors are trash? I wish I could hook up something to read the computer. There must be a way, I'll study that today.

I run 35 PSI on my regulator, Hook a light across your fuel pump to monitor the voltage,

also, on the computer pin out. X1-70 - MIL - Mal-function Indicating Lamp Output could be hooked up to show if you actually have a malfunction. If you want to do that, just remember that pin X1-70 is a sink to ground, that means that 12 volts is supplied to a light and the light is grounded via X1-70 if there is a mal-function.

It ran pretty good yesterday, no stuttering or sputtering just good clean acceleration. It was running much cooler than normal too. It's getting happier with its new home : )

      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      So I have a Bennche Bighorn 500 that I bought used a couple years ago. Was working fine until this winter when I was plowing and I think it drained the battery. And had a difficult time starting and staying running. Idle seamed really low, and would only stay running if I pushed on the throttle. So I changed the battery, and the acm valve, fuel filter and spark plug it will start up and surgery to 3k rpm but comes back down and dies, unless I give it throttle. I am getting fairly good amount of fuel from fuel pump.  It does spit at stutter right before it dies. What should I try next?

      Cranks after installing a jumper wire to ignition switch to get power but will not start
      Have spark and fuel pump runs

      I have a Coleman 550.  Was having problems to start with where it would start and then shut off after a couple tries. It would take off and be good. It then got to a point where it would not start at all. I replaced the fuel injection twice the second time I replaced it I noticed a mouse or something had chewed one of the wires that connect the electrical to the fuel injector. . So two-part question first does anybody have a part number for that wire harness?  Second, any other ideas after I fix the wire harness permanently on what could keep it from starting I have gas flow up to the fuel injector.

      My Massimo 500 will not start. I’ve checked all the obvious things. It turns over just fine. fuel, spark, fuse box are all good. I can’t figure it out. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
