Good evening everyone from my jeopardized Colorado ATV Vacation! Hoping some members can help me with an issue I am seeing with My 2010 Outlander Max 800r. I am only 1 day into my Rocky Mountain ATV trip and the Outty is not happy with me.
Today about 3 hours into our ride my quad lost power and immediately died. After around 20 minutes I found the F5 7.5A fuse had blown – this is the fuel pump fuse. I replaced the fuse and went on my merry way for around an hour when it blew again. Replaced the fuse yet again however pretty soon after this go around the bike started losing power really badly (but did not die). I was only attempting 20’ish MPH and it would ride ok then RPMs would sink and bike would slow to 5’ish MPH … with the throttle in the same position. This went on for around 1 hour while we were on the trail until we made it back to the main road. It wasn’t really a sputter more a solid loss of power, with constant curve – then reved back up in the same curve if that makes sense.
When we got back to the main road I became really confused. Once on the road and going over 35 mph the outty performed perfectly. You would never have known there was an issue – 35mph to 60 mph for around 45 minutes with no problems.
Any ideas? The Outty seems to idle fine, can even gas the throttle and it revs good. I am running some Lucas Injector cleaner right now on idle but have little hope of it resolving the problem.
I could pull the fuel pump to clean the filter if you guys think it would help. Not really close to any place that could replace the fuel pump if that is what the problem turns out to be.
Could spark plugs or a failing battery be causing voltage problems? It seems more fuel than voltage but at this point I am grasping at straws.
