EFI Sportsman 500 gauges flash - fuel sending unit?

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

      Oil is getting in the air box from crankcase vent tube, I put the two hoses that go to the air box together then something started to smoke on the front of the engine. There is a filter? In the line I blew that out.

      I generally use Non Ethynol fuel in all my small engines. I just got back from the gas station and that fuel has really increased in price since last year, I will continue to use it, even though its north of 1.00 a gallon more. That seems minor compared to cleaning and repairing carbs every year. 
      I was just curious as to what others are doing in regard to gas in their quads, i know a lot of the newer ones are fuel injected which shouldnt pose a problem, but i have had lots of problems with rust and jell forming in carbs when using ethynol fuel.

      having an issue with the unit when running under a load up a hill or in high gear, seems like the belt is slipping, there is a clapping sound coming from the primary clutch like it releases and snaps back in. i don't think I should have a noise like that. this is a friends unit and he has already replaced the primary twice with the same result.
      not sure where to look next
