Hello, first post ever!
I am the owner of a 2005 HPX 4x4 Gasoline (Kawasaki engine). Recently I started it up and drove around a half a block with noticeably reduced power. Then, the engine cut out and could not be restarted. The starter would crank strongly, the engine just wouldn't fire. Plenty of gas in the tank. I did a recent oil change, fuel filter change, air filter change, a few weeks ago. The battery is within a year old and kept on a battery tender.
After some troubleshooting I found a fuel pump flow failure. I did a fuel pump flow test and found no flow to the carb inlet hose when the key was in the RUN position. I found battery voltage at the fuel pump connector, and tried wiring the pump directly to the battery to no effect.
At this point I've ordered an OEM fuel pump and plan on installing it. Are there any other things I could be missing? The only thing I could think of is a block in the line coming from the filter. If this was the case, I should still hear the fuel pump running right? The pump was completely silent when wired up.
I should also note that I manually pumped 20 ml of gasoline into the carb inlet and the engine started and idled for 30 seconds or so.
