EFI Sportsman 500 gauges flash - fuel sending unit?

Recommended Posts

I have been sorting out some of the problems on a new to us 500 x2 and it seems I may have a sending unit problem. I bought a new gauge cluster and once that was hooked up, I see the fuel level bar graph flashes constantly.

 

Watched a yt video about a similar problem and it looks like a cleaning is in order to get the fuel level working again. My question is - would replacing fuel pump, regulator, etc. be wise since I will be in there anyway? The machine runs fine and doesn't seem to have fuel delivery problems (yet - understand it only has an hour or two of use by us while I work on it).

Hi, did you ever get your fuel gauge sorted?  Don't know if it's helpful, but I helped my neighbor with his Hisun EFI ATV last year.  Electronic fuel gauge on the LCD cluster was acting up, so I took the sending unit right out of the tank and moved the float bank and forth and watched the gauge with the ignition on.  It worked but had a delay, you'd have to wait a few seconds for it to respond, guess like a snubber.  Anyway that seemed to fix the problem, bad connection or sticky float, or didn't know about the delay.  Hope this helps, cheers!~  Bellarmine

      From Arkansas. Just bought a 2012 Gator 850i RSX because I could not pass up the price. BUT it has an idle problem. So, to be honest, I joined just to get a service manual. I have a choice: 1)Buy a hard copy: ~$100; 2)Buy a CD ~$35.00; Get a direct download for free posting 10 times; or get a download for $29.00 (subscription). Haven't decided what to do yet.

      Hi, I am having issues with my TRX350D fuel pump.  It suddenly stopped running so I have replaced all the fuses and cleaned all the terminals.  I have fitted a new pump, fuel cut-off relay and rectifier.  Still nothing!!  The pump runs when attached to a battery.  The engine will start on the choke and the filter fills with fuel but it will  not rev and dies when the choke is closed. I have power to the relay but nothing at the pump black/white wire when cranking the engine.  Any ideas where to go from here would be very much appreciated!!

      So I've got a Hisun 550 that I was doing some work on that required removing the CVT and it's housing. Upon attempting to reinstall the clutch, sheaves, etc, I found that the belt no longer fits - it's far too wide. None of the parts have been replaced, they're all OEM. Exactly the same parts as what I took off a few weeks ago.
      To be more specific, my belt is 1.25in wide, but the gap between the clutch and the primary sheave is only 7/8in wide. I'll include a few photos to explain.
      Has anyone ever experienced such a bizarre problem? Any help at all would be appreciated, I've been stuck on this for a month. I'm open to just about any suggestion.

      I have been exploring all the options available, so many, its hard to choose. I have kind of narrowed it down to the Honda Pilot, Subaru Outback, and Kind of looking at the Outlander, although its a little small,  the new one is nice looking. Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations or gripes with any of these rides. I have driven Jeeps for the past 25  years and they have been great, but their price point has gotten to high. Expieriences good or bad would be helpful. Thanks!
