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
