This year, though I thought long and hard on taking my wife’s carburated Grizzly, I again opted for the Polaris. This time (though fortunately only about 4 miles from camp) going up a hill it just died. I checked the spark and it was strong. I run one of the Platinum NGK 4 prong permagap plugs. I pulled the output line from the fuel pump and I was getting absolutely no fuel delivery. I hunted from my truck the rest of the week.
When I got home I pulled the front and pulled the 20a efi fuse. It looked perfect so I put it back in and cranked it over and it fired right up as if there never was a problem. I’m baffled and don’t ever want to take it more than 2 miles from safe harbor.
Two questions please.
1. with the fuel line off the pump, shouldn’t I have had fuel spurt out on turning over?
2. Can anyone confirm what I read " that if you disconnect the gas tank filler, you can tilt the tank enough to get the pump out without removing all the front plastics?"
I am seriously considering carrying a spare fuel pump.
