Maybe something inside the electric pump is defective. You can remove the electric
pump entirely just for the test runs and see if that is causing the flow
restriction.

I think the problem might be the pulse line. I used regular fuel tubing for
the pulse line and I was reminded it needs to be a heavier tubing than fuel
line. So maybe the pulse line is collapsing at high rpms? Anyway I ordered
some pulse line. Will know in a few days. Thx!

OK...I think I got it fixed. Found a video on Utube on cleaning the pump so I took
the old pump apart and cleaned it up . Then I took the replacement pump off
and put the old one back on. Tied the plane to the tractor and fired it up.
Ran it up to 5200rpms for 3 minutes back down and back up a few times. Ran perfectly
on the impulse pump. I'll take her up this evening for a flight check but
it looks like it's fixed. Thanks to everyone for the help.

I have a Firestar II with a Rotax 503 DCDI and it's been
cutting out. I replaced all the fuel lines, filter, and fuel
pump. When I turn on the electric pump the problem goes
away. Help!!!!
