Well PSI in the system is supposed to 42 psi. As for what is in the filter I think that would vary. Stalling while revving could be a couple things give more details and we will see if we can help.

check the orings on you quick connects.if you have good fuel flow one minute then bad flow that is probably what it is.

I had a very similar problem with my '02 E440. Especially if I rode it for the 20 to 40 minutes and shut it off, it would not restart unless I let it sit a while. What I found was the water pump impellar had discinagrated and was just spinning on the shaft. I don't know if the bike has a shutdown once it gets so hot or not. Just my 2 cents.

They do have a setting in the ecu if it gets too hot to shut itself down, but we have found that doesn't always work.

They apparently don't shut down when they overheat. But if you kill it/shut it off, they on't restart until they cool down.

I would agree with you if I hadn't seen one shut down due to overheating while riding.

I can vouch for the fact that they WILL (at least mine will) shut down when they get too hot. I had that happen to me several times last year at St. Anthonies when I didn't have my coolant bled properly and had no coolant flow. It took me a while to figure it out.

I bet the reason some shut off and some dont is either the HEX code or a bad power relay.If your quad doesnt timeout after two minutes(you will hear the relay click with key on but not running)it will also not shutoff if it overheats(guess).
