How to Diagnose and Replace the Fuel Pump in a Can Am Quad 

This is the best video for this job. If you watch this you will be ready to replace the pump. 😊 I followed the easy steps and all worked perfect. Thank you Brian.

A great help in resolving my current Can Am issue. Engine died while on the run. Tried starting again, battery was fine motor turned over but would not fire. A Very informative video, many thanks.

One of the most straightforward repair videos I’ve ever seen, I’m about to start doing the same job on my bike later on today and won’t have to watch any other videos on the topic. thanks for the video cheers!

Thank you Brian! I was able to complete the same work on our 08 Outlander MAX 650 by following your lead. You always have had great content. Please continue and Happy Easter!

I like the way you walk us though your diagnostic thinking as you dismantle the vehicle. Great video, Brian!

Thanks for taking the time to make this video. You've certainly helped me out and taught me a few more things about my machine. I will be subscribing to your channel to see more.

Everyone on here he told you and walk you threw all the troubleshooting steps. In shop this will cost you $500. He did everything a shop will do. If you got and of these issues the fuel pump will be replace. So stop all the if's it cant get any better than this as a DIY job. Thank you for taking the time to show all this information.

Another great video. I dont even own a quad but still watched. Thanks for sharing your knowledge...you are appreciated.

Thank you JJ- I appreciate your contribution to the channel!

Very helpful diagnosing a similar machine and failed fuel pump! Thank you!

Got a pump for my gen 1 outlander 650 on eBay for $9.99 with free shipping. Thanks for the help!!!

Great info man! My girlfriends family has an 06 no start or fuel gauge op! Found this I am very thankful. Thank you

Great job. Saved me a lot of labor and parts cost. The dealer cost quotes on replacement pump and scanning services are higher here in Utah. I enjoy your teaching style having taught 25 yrs.

Thankyou, you made the jod so much simpler, better than the manual.

Excellent video that would help someone replace an in-tank pump on any vehicle, it can be trickier then you think,great stuff Brian.

Just did mine and got a ton of purple sludge in the tank, thanks for the video!

Thanks for the feedback- I've had a lot of requests for that and for vehicles starting at the end. So why not?

I went with Polyurea- I still have to do a video on it. It's super slippery when oily. (what isn't?) The decorative chips help give traction and they DO tear up paper towels if you ice skate with them, but it is SO SO SO SO SO much easier to keep everything clean!

FAST AND ACCURATE DIAGNOSIS BRIAN! AWESOME VID MAN!

This video is extremely helpful. My pump isn't completely out however I suspect fuel pressure is low. I'm prolly guna end up replacing I suspect. Thank you for the video

Another great repair video brian. Well done! I just purchased an 08 800 on ksl. The fuel indicator reads empty with low fuel light flashing. But the bike runs perfectly fine. I'm wondering if the float fell off down into the tank. Hoping that's my problem. Thanks for sharing this great video. Now i know how to remove the tank.

Gracias por tu video y tu paciencia para explicar paso a paso todo que Dios los cuide.

your the best. such a clean shop and very detailed vids. thanks for taking the time to do this. you seem like the kinds guy i would be friends with. very well done dude.

Great analysis, Can Am should hire you

Wow well done !! Thank you from British Columbia Canada

good stuff....heading out to the garage to find my bent screw driver and install my fuel pump. thank you!!!!!

Great video. Thank you for the instructions. It saves time!

That's a good idea. I considered it. I was concerned that a shorter radius due to length being consumed by the "V-bend" would cause feedback issues.

This was extremely helpful. Can't thank you enough

800r RENEGADE, worked great! Thanks!

great video! I just got done replacing my 08 outlander fuel pump. helped a ton once I had the tank off!

Thanks- I've honed that a bit over the years.

Excellent video, thank you for making a quality no bs video

guys a nice guy bro ! ... i listen cause hes not being a dic .. tqkes his time does it very well cant ask for much better than that ... sweet dude thx

Thanks for this very helpful video.

Welcome- thanks for being a part of this

One of the best how to videos I have seen.

Great video bro, appreciate the detail.

Thanks Brian, learned a lot, as always.

Appreciate you making this

excelente video ! congratulations, great help !

Good vid and you should do a toolbox tour next

Awesome video. I had some dirty/muddy water flow through the gas tank vent into the tank. It would not start. I pop the injector lines off, cycled the pump on and off with fresh gas in the tank and put the lines back on. It still acts like water In the fuel. I changed the in line fuel filter. It was pretty dirty. It's a 2008 outlander 800. Do you have any recommendations. Should I pull my pump and clean the pre filter? Would it be the injectors? If so how do you pull them to clean?

If the wire for the float is close to contacting the strainer, you could bend the wire so there is more clearance. Bouncing around on an ATV you might want more clearance than you have.

THANKS! Great video !!

You do great videos! Good job

Thank you- this one was a struggle to edit for sure.

great job once again

Gotta love the Power Probe

Thanks that helps me a lot...

just subscribe! been checking your channel since last summer and i find it very informative found you thru ericthecarguy link thanks brian.

Thank you. It’s a great video. Can you tell me the name of brand of your voltmeter and your gadgets/Divice you used in this video I want to buy them . I greatly appreciate it

Some things sure do. The ATV's I grew up with didn't even have fuel pumps, but I'd rather be riding this new stuff. It's WAY better in terms of performance etc.

Good stuff ! Thanks !

Great vid as usual. Seeing Spanky reminds me -hOe is the new family member coming along?

i have a 2012 650. my. 5 amp fuse keeps blowing but it runs on a 7.5 amp fuse. the dealer is going to contact cam am to see if this is ok to keep it in and run it. instead of replacing the fuel pump. this fuse controls the dash and starting function. i'm worried about what damage that may cause to other components if the fuel pump is not the issue. i know my 2016 uses a 7.5 amp fuse. any thoughts . great video by the way

Thanks for the video!! I'm attempting the same job, same year , 500cc Outlander and having a difficult time getting the tank with tank cover aligned back up. It just doesn't want to slide all the way back in. Any suggestions for me? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the video. I’m hoping you or anyone else can help. I took rear back rest off myv2 up seat to use a rear box. However putting it back on the rear seat won’t latch fully n lock in. I must have the arm or spring out of place. Can anyone post pictures or video on how their rear seat is set up? Parts diagram didn’t help. N I’ve taken apart n adjusted a few times now. Also if anyone loses power steering when in deep water the large yellow plug under seat needs dialectical grease as it gets wet.

Thanks Brian.

I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK WITH YOU ABOUT YOUR AMAZON THING YOU HAVE GOING

Hey Brian I have a 2011 Can Am 800 Max Ltd similar to the one in this video. I have a weird situ. I have not done the tear down yet but when my fuel level gets below 3/4 of a tank it starts to sputter, and will stall out if I don't fan the throttle, If I fill the tank up to full and then it runs like a top. Any ideals? If I fan the throttle and hold it wide open it will usually stay running but not into rocketing down a trail doing 60 or more. I have siphoned all the fuel out and replaced it, but still the same deal with the fuel level, 3/4 it will start to sputter, top it up and good to go.

Hey Brian, do you remember what the brand and part number of the replacement fuel pump was?

Nice video, do you have an idea of how much is the gas pump?

I'did mine without removing gaz tank or any other parts. Simply cut out the seat bracket to gain acces to the fuel pump and remove it. Then drill two holes on the frame and made threads. To fix the seat bracket with two 1/4" bolts.

my tank has a rounded looking thing on top with evap hoses would that be the pump on 2011 outlander?

You can either repair the old one or buy a new one as a complete unit.

Hi, I have an outlander 400 max xt 2008, The float gas goes down with full tank.and they don't sell only the gauge... What do you recomend me? Regards...

how many hours are on that thing it looks very clean

4:11 ones for lights and top is your fan relay

informative!! was wondering about the stop motion photography, was that just me and my crappy centurylink dsl?

my question would be under fuel related, my gas guage doesn't work, i'm thinking its a fuse the f7 accessories 20a, just got off graveyard shift, so I cant wake up the neighbors and start replacing fuses,lol, i'm hoping you'll know for sure, maybe you've come across this problem, thnx.

hey good job

ive got the same bike with a no crank what it thatt issue ??

Hey i had the same problem changed feul pump and the wires inside are insintigrated??? Everything back working but worried about that raw wires back in the tank??? Can i send a pic and let me know what you think?

I know this is a really old video but is there a way to test the fuel pump to see if it’s working without dropping the whole tank? I’m not sure what it should sound like when it turns on

What kind of fuel pump did you install? You stated that it was an automotive fuel pump.

J'ai acheté deux pompes à 50$ sur Amazon et les deux ont rendu l'âme dans le même été. Maintenant je vais essayer avec une Bosh à 100$ en espérant être la bonne.

In the description for the fuel pump it says for a 650??

Which noid light fits?

Having issue with mine no start. Starting fluid won’t start it. Has spark and fuel does shoot out the spark plug hole

Does anyone know how to contact Brian from this video on Can Am fuel pump replacement?

Hi Brian! I'm the guy that bought you John Deer riding mower, still runs great. Question replaced my 2007 canam outlander 800. I bought a oem pump it all of a sudden quit priming the fuel. you can hear it when you turn the key on . Is it locked up?

mine is 2011 and blue :) and it started to act up. i wonder if its the pump or possibly plugs UPDATE. my pump is different than yours and doesn't have inline filter :) and it is easier to get to from the top w/o taking the tank out yeeey. great vid

Does anybody know how much psi those fuel pumps put out?

I'm getting a p0232 code on my Outlander 800 how do I fix this problem

I’d lose my mind with one of those atv’s! I will keep my Honda and Bayou Kawasaki

Hello i have a problem with my can am oitlander 1000 2018, i recentmh changed the repleaced !! but it works bad, it can runs for 20km without problema but after that it works Bad, im going in 5000rpm and fells to 2000 And immediatly up to 5000 and the moto stops, i need to spent 10 mins and works good,

i should watch all the way though first......lol

for some reason my wont crank and notice i dont even hear the fuel pump come on when you turn the key

excellent video. Thanks I needed this! :)

You should check your computer's performances and updates. You're editing long hd files it sucks on the RAM a lot. Maybe you need an upgrade. Mac or are not better they are very expensive can't even been upgraded. PC are as able as apple or even more on video editing the owners are the problem they are just machines.

Ever torn one down where every piece of that assembly is corroded?

Fuel pump isn't getting power any suggestions

You bet.

Cool

Man ...you are a cOoL dude ....You never even said one cuss word the whole time ! ....and Now ..i wont be cussing the whole time threatening to set that sonbitch on FIRE when i do my fuel pump on the exact same machine ! Thanks

They don't make those can Ams easy to work on, do they?

everything just seems to get harder and harder to work on..

the nissan 90 yr fuel pump works too and way cheap
