Hello guys I'm new to the site. I constantly use this site for tips and tricks but I'm finally out of ideas on this issue I have with my bike. About two weeks ago the bike would start but die right away. I tested the fuel pressure and it was only reading about 30 psi which I read is about 20 psi low. So I ordered a new pump and regulator and just finished installing it. It started right up and the fuel pressure tested at 50 psi so I think it worked.
The issue is now when I turn the key on the pump runs constantly. Previously it would prime for about 2 seconds and then shut off until I started the bike. I can't figure out why its now running all the time and if that is going to be an issue. At first I thought, ok I just wont keep the ignition on unless I'm ready to start the bike, that way the pump wont sit there running. But then I thought why would this change and will it hurt the pump down the road. So here are my questions.
Does anyone know how to correct this issue?
Is the fuel priming time controlled by the ECM?
If I can't correct it will it hurt the pump?
Are these pumps variable flow or do they just run at about 50 psi constantly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
