Default 2014 Metropolitan - Fuel Pump Will Not Prime - Short?

Just picked-up a 2014 Metropolitan - like new (200 miles on odo), but has a weird starting issue. When outside temp is less than 75 degrees, it starts fine, but will not start when outdoor temp is in the 80-90 range.

Everything turns on, but the fuel pump sound does not happen, it just sounds like a short or a relay issue, makes a little buzz and then nothing. Turns over but will not fire.

Any ideas? Called dealer and they had never heard of the issue...

Need to check that the pump is getting proper voltage.
