 Because you changed the alternator voltage
 regulator.....
 
 Could the
 alternator voltage regulator be blocking positive flow to
 fuel
 pump 30 while engine is off and while
 the starter turns the engine?
 
 Or, maybe something else inhibits positive flow
 to fuel pump relay 30 while
 alternator is at
 rest or spinning slowly while starter turns the engine
 but
 once the engine starts and runs using
 the bypass from battery to fuel pump,
 with
 the alternator now spinning faster, it actually puts out
 enough power
 to overcome whatever was
 inhibiting flow of positive?

 There is no power on the fuel pump relay as it should be at

 the engine could start up and work fine.  The interesting
