Had fire start in muffler due to failing fuel pump &/or fuel pressure regulator.  Must I spend the $750+ for a new assembly from Arctic Cat?!?  Here's what I've tried so far.

  • Replaced fuel pump & regulator - both from Quantum.
  • PSI is 60 rather than the 42 the dealer advises it should be, so problem persists.
    •  I've now twice replaced the Quantum regulator & discussed w/ Quantum.
    • They advise that they don't have an alternative regulator that would bring PSI down to 42.
  • I've tried several in-line, adjustable pressure regulators but they either didn't work or I couldn't get a constant pressure from them.
    • FYI, I've only tried the adjustable regulators for Fuel Injected engines however, it seems that they require vacuum to function properly. 

When I can temporarily get the PSI right, everything works great.  Anyone else ever dealt with this problem, and, if so how did you fix it?  Perhaps I should adapt the fuel system to include a gas tank return line?

Any insights are greatly appreciated, Don

If that bike has a barometric pressure sensor that calculates altitude, I'd check that sensor was communicating with the ecu properly.

The dash gauge will show you what it's reading if you put it into diagnostic mode..  I think.

I'm reading an 2016 Alterra 550 manual..

Thanx, Mech.  I'll take a look.

What came of your ATV Fuel pressure issue? I have a 2010 H1 550 EFI with a similar challenge.

      I am having an issue with a hs500. I bought it broken and have been trying to get it running. It seems to be starving for fuel. If I put my hand over the intake it will crank but will not run for very long because I'm not able to get the correct airflow with my hand. The things I have done so far are. Replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, mass airflow sensor, idle air adjuster, fuel injector, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the ecu, and still the same issue. I notice the injector does not spray when removed from the head. I dont know if that is common. 
       
      I am out of ideas on what to do next. I have removed the fuel line from the injector and it is getting plenty of fuel. If anyone has an idea on what could possibly be the issue I would be happy to try anything at this point.

      First post here need some help/advice. I bought a 2001 king quad 300, vin number JSAAK43A212111871. I have been trying to do some basic maintenance as it runs but doesn't idle all that well . I want to take out and clean/repair the  carb but when looking for parts it ask for model X Y K1 K2. How do I know which model I have? I have tried some vin decoders but they haven't told me. If anyone could recommend a carb rebuild kit for my quad Id appreciate it. Also any tips on tracking down an owners manual?
