Fuel pump (circuit) problem

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 : )

      Landmaster LM200 Will Not Start
      By BWF
      I have a 2011 or so Landmaster LM200.  I cannot get it to start.  I turn the key and nothing happens.  The brake switch seems to be working, the ignition switch works.  The Coil is new the Voltage Regulator is new and the starter relay is new.
       
      I can connect the terminals on the starter relay and it starts right up and runs fine.  I just can't get it to start by turning the key.
       
      I am having a bit of trouble bleeding the brakes, not much fluid comes out at the calipers when I am pumping the brakes, though that an air bubble near the brake switch might make it not sense that the brake pedal is depressed.
       
      I am at a loss, please help!

      MSU 500 Fuel Pump Ground
      By Kierobi
      Have a MSU 500 that we got from my wife's uncle a while back. We've had it running and hauling around the property but it stopped a few months ago after what I thought was running out of gas and I'm just getting to looking into it. 
      Had fuel to the injector but nothing coming out the injector so swapped with new injector and installed inline filter in the supply hose from fuel pump. Tried again and still nothing but noticed this time that I can't hear the fuel pump priming. 
      Pulled off the electrical connection and I'm getting 12V to the fuel pump but it won't run. Put it on a test bench and got it to run so put test lamp between +ve and -ve terminals on the connector and nothing. Checked against the passenger seat securing post and get a light. 
      Tried chasing the wire back and think that the ground is through the ECU but not 100% sure. Can someone confirm for me? And if it is through the ECU, is the ECU just grounded against the frame or is it wired through to the battery?
      Thanks in advance and hope this all make sense!

      Utv wont start and broken fuel injection wire
      By Jeff freeman
      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.

      Massimo Msu 500 Has No Power
      By Rmillerdesigns
      Hello. I have a 2016 Massimo MSU 500. I was putting on a lightbar and i screwed up and didn't disconnect the battery so when i was taking of the positive cable to put on the power from the lightbar it sparked and now the utv has no power. I turn the key over and all i hear is a chirp. No lights or anything. Everything that comes from the battery to the jumper box up by the battery shows voltage but anything coming out does not such as to the winch or anything like that
