Just bought a 2006 Larson with 160 hours on it. I read that the screen on the fuel pressure regulator has caused pump starving issues and a tech bulletin to remove was sent out. I pulled it out and ironically after about 1 hour of use, I had some issue with the EFI system.
I do want to note that when it is hot I sometimes I would have to throttle up in order to get it started, but it would run and start just fine otherwise (this is before removing the screen). But over the weekend, after running great and swapping skiers, it wouldn't start and would just crank and had no obvious signs prior with performance or starting. I realized the EFI pump wasn't priming or turning on before start with ignition on so I started checking fuses. All fuses looked fine, but I finally got some life from the EFI system when I pulled the fuse and simply just put it back in. It didn't sound normal though and had a faint operating noise compared to normal. And it didnt make a difference with starting..
It seems kind of early for a fuel pump to go out. And it seems pretty odd that im having this issue after pulling the screen on th regulator, so im wondering if there are any EFI guys out there that could help. Id rather start with a $10 relay than a thousand dollar pump...not too familiar with how this system works though.
Thanks!
