I have a 2009 Remos GX and have similar issues. My fuel pressure drops after leveling off or during a decent and leveling back out. The problem has not been as bad with the new style pump, but no one seems to be able to explain this.

I have had the same issue for 600 hours. The engine has never hiccuped once when the fuel pressure was in the warning area at WOT, so I quit worrying about it. Sure wish someone could explain it though. I know there are several others who have this same issue in varying degrees. Supposedly the Rotax factory was looking into this several years ago, but nothing has ever been said about it.

I had intermittent low fuel pressure warnings ( < 2 PSI) for years. StingSport low wing, fuel tank under the cockpit floor. Never had the engine stumble, and turning on the boost pump usually brought the pressure back up. I finally found that the flow restrictor in the return line that goes from the "octopus" on top of the engine back to the main tank was totally plugged. I cleaned it out and haven't had a single problem since.
