Just to clarify........after the pump has been running for a few seconds you hear a click and it stops. You may not have noticed the lights feed and instrument panel go off if you press the starter button straight away. As soon as you press the button or kick it over the fuel pump and associated circuits come back on. I think its to stop the fuel pump and any lights you may have on draining what is a small battery very quickly. The trigger for this return of power to the fuel pump and other circuits is the pulser circuit on the alternator. As soon as it's signal is toggled signifying engine rotation the ECU turns it all back on.
As an aside this may be the reason some 450s with the marrelli efi start of the kickstarter and others don't or are an effort.
