Pt.2 2016 Polaris Ranger EFI Fuel Pump Troubleshooting And Repair For Under 30 Dollars 

Ive watched a LOT of how-to videos before, you do a very very good job with this D-Ray. Straight to the point, excellent video shots, excellent dialog, no unrelated rambling nonsense and BS. Well done, sir.

This was so incredibly helpful. My dad was excellent at repairing absolutely anything but he passed away in October of last year and my sister and I are trying to repair the Ranger for my mom. It keeps shutting off and we hope we have the problem narrowed down to the fuel pump. Again, thank you for such clear instructions.

6/2021. My 2019 Polaris Ranger 570 Full Size was idling fine as I was topping off some livestock water. My Ranger NEVER had any idle issues, NONE. Then, all of a sudden it just sputtered out and died. I'm in Florida and our dry season is INCREDIBLY DUSTY. I pulled the fuel pump and the filter looked like a used tea bag. Watched this video and just ordered new filters and the pump kit off eBay. Replaced spark plug and air filters as well. Just under $100 in materials and about two hours of labor and clean up. The Ranger is back up and running, ready for farm chores again. Thank you so much for this video. Saved a ton of cash and A LOT LESS WALKING. If your machine is running well then just dies and you've never replace the fuel filter, this is most likely the issue. Adding fuel filter change once per year to yearly maintenance list now. New fuel pump and filter kit. Less than $30 on eBay and you're good to go!

One of the best repair instructional repair videos I have ever seen. Great instructions and perfect video! Thanks

This video saved me big bucks! Just changed the fuel pump on a 2015 Polaris RZR 900S for $27.00. I did have to buy a tool to remove the ring on the fuel tank that holds the pump housing in place because it was super tight and the RZR doesn't provide much room to get your hands around it. This is a very professional video by a guy who really knows his stuff! Thank you!

And another perfect repair by Donald "The Wizard" Smith. Your detail in the video is unmatched.

D-Ray, I swamped (really swamped!!!) my 18 Ranger 900 XP like a knucklehead (not snorkeled) and spent a week wrenching, draining, and praying I could revive her. I got her started, no hydrolock and no knocks or smoke. I wiped the sweat away but my last obstacle was the damage from water and mud in the fuel tank. I pert near mashed the buy button on a whole new fuel assembly ($289) when my boy showed me your video. Convinced this will solve the mess. Great video bubba, thanks!

I used your video a few years ago to service the fuel pump on my 2009 Ranger 700XP. It's time to do it again. And, fortunately, I found your video again. Hands down, one of the very best instructional videos I have ever watched. BTW, bought my Ranger new in 2009 and it has over 12000 miles on it. I wore all 42 suspension bushings down to bare metal and replaced them all last winter. Thank you for your help!

I can see how popular this method will be for guys searching for an answer to a similar issue like this and trying not to get gouged for 700.00. Wouldn't be suprised if some unscrupulous shop used this method but charge guys 400 or 500 bucks to fix the issue but use a kit similar to this. That's one thing I like about you and yor videos DRay your honest and your work is done right the first time, and your not out to take a fella and his wallet for a ride, no wonder your so busy at your shop

Great video! Thank you sir. My dealer wanted $800 to replace my fuel pump on my 2013 sportsman 850. No thanks. Great camera work and easy to follow steps and explanation. Thank you again.

Great video, no unnecessary talking, much appreciated.

Thanks! Never worked on a Polaris before, but thanks to this video I can handle the one I'm about to work on. Tennessee over here.

That’s a great video you did but it sure would be nice if you shared the part information.

@ 13:35 -- Drop some paper towels shreds in the tank and then blow them around with some compressed air to absorb and bad gas/debris, use a grabber tool to pluck the paper towels back out.

Great video! My Sportsman 500 EFI is doing the exact same thing you described. I've changed the plug, fuel filter, and airbox filter to no change. I'm going to test the pressure from the pump and go from there but I'm guessing that is the culprit. Unfortunately, I have to take off the entire front plastic to get to my tank!Thanks again for the information.

Thanks for the awesome vid. About to replace the pump on my sons 850 Sportsman. Dealer wanted $800 to fix. Nope! Ordered the pump from Amazon for $100 and with the help of this video we’ll soon be up and running. Thanks again

Excellent video, West Plains, Mo here. Mine was running and just quit, figured maybe bad gas, drained and refilled and won't run unless ether sprayed on air filter, which is new. Believe either my pump or filter on tank. My set up is exactly like yours. Thanks so much, maybe we will all thaw out after the snow and cold! Stay warm!

Good video, I got my fuel pump from E-bay complete for $50,00, half an hour & it's in & works great,

Appreciate the video. Did the fuel pump rebuild today and changed out the spark plugs. Old girl runs better than she has in two years.

Best how to video I've ever watched. Excellence!

Thanks for this video! I just bought a 2019 Polaris XP 900 Crew. It just has 3000 miles on the OD. But it started cutting out and stopping. You could wait a few min and it would crank and run for a little while. I told my wife when it started it was acting like a fuel filter issue. So O did some checking and came across your Vid. It helped a lot, but I can say this all Kits are not created equal and all year pump assy's are not the same. I had to disassemble my pump assembly a little farther because the fuel sender assembly was a little different and I had to pull the top and the 2 sliding rods out to remove it before I could pull the to pump halves apart which ment I had to remove the fuel hose but guess what they gave me another in the kit, but superman could not have got that hose to fit over the nipples. so I had to go buy a piece of fuel line which as you know is tricky because a rubber hose does not replicate a plastic accordion hose so you have to get the length just right for the spring tension of the pump. But hey it worked. Thanks for the video.

Thanks very much- I have a 2016 Ranger ETX that just started having symptoms while in the woods today. I'm not a mechanic at all, so this is just what I need.

Thanks ole buddie.....am now ready to get my 750 EFI running again out here at Monterey Bay, California. Can you believe our local dealer wanted $600.00 for a tune-up and four month wait for appointment due to new sales volume and mechanic busy with assembly of new rigs....

Another excellent how to video! D Ray might be a better video producer than he is a mechanic. Thank you sir.

Super nice video, like the fact that you made sure that everything was clean before disassembling.

Sir, I own a UTV rental business and you make the best videos to work on this UTVs out there. You deserve all my likes and my bell notification on for you ! Thanks 🙏🏻

After viewing your video a year ago, I replaced my fuel pump. It worked perfectly until one day I noticed the ring was loose, so I tightened it. --> After doing that, sadly my Ranger would start up but run only a few minutes before sputtering off. I might have tightened it back in a slightly rotated position, so I corrected that, but with no result. I've attempted to rotate the pump slightly, took it out and reseated it, but now I don't even hear the pump momentarily running during the initial power up. I'm guessing the pump maybe has once again failed. The fuel level registers ok. I failed to wipe out the inside of my fuel pump like your video recommended, so it's possible some bits plugged up the pump. 😞

I think you just teached an Old Dog, New Tricks Thank You!!

Superb video. I will second the opinion on camera detail and more so on your play by play announcing describing how things were done. Your video s very professional but not so technical I couldn’t follow you. Two thumbs up! I was about to take my machine shop and drop several hundred dollars. I appreciate the video.

Always good to see a new video by you I know the videos are few and far between nowadays because you have videos for almost anything related to an ATV and have covered most likely issues.

Good job D Ray. No extra verbage or rambling. Great, understandable audio with great video

D-Ray this was a very, very good video. Great close ups and excellent explanation as you perform the repair. This is a good DIY repair that I am fully capable of doing. My Polaris dealer quoted me $520 to replace the fuel pump in my Razor, and our unit only has 1200 miles on it! Your tips on putting a little grease on the o-ring, and on the locking clip for the fuel filter, great tip! You are the best UTV mechanic I have discovered online, thanks sooo much for sharing your knowledge with us!

Very clear and useful. Grateful for no annoying music in the background too! Thanks!

YOU ARE AN AMAZING INSTRUCTOR SIR!!!! OUTSTANDING JOB

man, great job. Saved the day with trying to figure out how to get er' done. It was a real head scratcher, but thanks to your video, it was an easy install. Atta boy!

D-Ray very good presentation. Couldn’t have been better. Here in East Tx we speak the same language. Well done my man.

Use this: Orion Motor Tech Master Fuel Injection Pressure Tester on Amazon, it has the fittings that you can pressure test your pump. It's got that plastic end, plus the gauge has the release valve. I just tested mine. Seems like it would get up to 55 psi then slowly seep back down to 45 psi, but when it was running it would be over 50 psi and the indicator would swing wildly.

Also nice to see you make it affordable for the customer. Most would of just told the customer $700 or $800 bucks for the new tank instead of making an effort to rebuild what was there. Great job!

10 30 23 Absolutely a top notch video by someone who knows what they are doing. I also watched the valkyrie 6 carb video and did mine. You are super at explaining and your video is top notch notch.

Great video I did my Sportsman 570 2016 today 70 hours on it. Shame Polaris shame - Bosch Made in China pump . Anyway watch that little green O ring its a pain in ass to get seated properly and you wont get pressure unless it right up inside. I used grease but ended up pushing it in first then seating the housing into it. Hope this saves someone a few minutes

With your detailed help this ole yankee was able to get his rig moving again. Can't tell you thanks enough for the quality of the video and teaching. Keep putting out the videos. Those of us that don't do much in the way of mechanics need all the help we can get. Thanks again

Do you haveva part number for this fuel pump kit

Hi Ray, I'm George from Buenos Aires. I congratulate you for the good quality in the detailed explanation of the assembly and disassembly of the supply spider. I have seen him looking for some KEY to solve a current problem with my ATV Can Am 800: in the middle of the day, hot, on steep roads and with little ventilation around the trail, the vehicle begins to fail and stops. I must replenish fresh fuel to resume. And then again it stops. You may have some clue in mind as to what may be causing this abnormality. Thank you and receive my greeting.

Hey mate this video help me out heaps, saved me at least $200 for a rather simple fix. Excellent step by step explanation, cheers.

Well done video, love the accent and some of the terminology put a smile on my face. Definitely helped out my project today and I can’t thank you enough

Excellent video nice job 👍 entire video was to the point, nice camera orientation very clear to see how to do it. In last excellent tip to put Grease on the washer will stick something I learned hats off👌.

Awesome job. Learned a lot. Trying to figure out why mine starts hard!!

Super job easy to follow each step .

You are a great educator. Thank you for the service you provide to all of us. If I am ever in your area a visit to shake your hand is definitely in order.

Very comprehensive explanation and demonstration.

Excellent video. What great filming and close ups that you could visibly see ! That's how ta do it. Thank you.

Man if I could shake your hand ! Thank you .. saved me a ton of money .

Exceptional! Very well done. Your video makes it a breeze for anyone to perform this repair.

Thank you this really helped. I ordered the part of ebay and it's now about $36 but the same part by brand and the kit is the same.

New follower here. That was one outstanding video. I’m going through this same repair as we speak. Just waiting on my parts. I have total confidence that I can do the repair now. Awesome stuff man. Look forward to your future videos.

Could you do a video on changing out the fuel injector.thanks much appreciated

Another excellent video. Thank you for your knowledge. I'm working on a SP 570 and suspect it's not building enough pressure although I'm getting good flow when I cycle the key. Is that normal?

Thanks. Mine is now working, on my 09 77 crew, but the fuel gauge doesn't work. The ground from the sender has some clip on it that attached to the aftermarket plastic housing. Can I just run a jumper to the ground for the pump?

Great video ,thanks for the help,didnt know how to get that fuel float sender off there. Big help buddy. God bless you.

Replaced my fuel pump on my 2016 570 Sportsman. You helped a lot, thank you!

Great vid! Please do more!

Thanks for the video!! My fuel pump just failed.

Having same issue with 2018 Ranger 1000 thanks for video and information

I just got the same pump in mail. Thank you for detailed video!!

Nice videos. I had same issue. Thanks to your video I was able to remedy the problem. However, I have one question, where does the fuel vent filter go installed. My Ranger did not have one, which is why I believe I ran into this problem to begin with. Thanks again.

Thanks, just do it by your instructions 👍

I have a rzr 800 4 Robbie Gordon edition and I ran into a strange problem. It will run up hill but will shut off on level or down hill. Fuel Pump? Air Sensor? or both? I am lost. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT. Thanks.

D-Ray! Great video, thanks for saving me some bucks. Was down to 20 psi - 60 after the change. Appreciate it! Runs great!

Yep. Very clear directions man. We appreciate the help

Awesome video. I know its old but damn this saved me some time and $. Be sure to check your spark plug as well if you had a bad fuel pump. I still had idle issues after the pump replacement. My plug was toast. All is well now!

Do a valve adjustment on a 2005 Honda rincon next

That's a great video- very clear and great for anticipating the alignment issues thanks.

Thanks I am afraid of took off filter Just it's coming out by pulling

Great video. I have a 2017 900XP. Wont start so I connected fuel pressure tester. I get Get 55-60 PSI Turns over great does not hit a lick. I squirted a shot of start fluid and it started up. Runs rough up to about 20 MPH after that run up to 50 no problem. I put seafoam 1 oz per gallon and Drove about a gallon of gas out and still have same problem. Any Ideas? Thanks

Excellent video you explained how to step by step very easy to understand and I like the way you work on clean Parts organized great video shots clear sound . Again great job ! I will be watching your vids and subscribing.

Mighty fine job! Mighty fine!

You can use oil pump pliers to get that stubborn fuel pump ring loose.

Great video and very helpful. One question, what type of fuel pressure gauge do you have? Obviously fit perfect.

Yelp he very good. What about that fuel pressure regulator. Does it ever go bad. I cleaned and blew my fuel pump out. And it went back running fine

Great video, I'm a little OCD and it kinda drove me nuts every time you called the fuel level sensor / float, a fuel sender.

Great job. This is how a diy video should be done!

Great video Sir I replaced mine but the cap seems to not want to screw down all the way is there a gasket that fits under the cap ?

I'm not very good at soldering. But can you solder the wires together and use shrink tubing instead of unsoldering and re-soldering

Awesome help my man!! Might save me a few hundred dollars here!!

Good video, very detailed. About to order my new fuel pump, this will make it go a lot smoother!

thanks for the info can you tell me where you got the pressure gauge please

Thanks for an excellent instrctional video!

Got that same kit to replace my fuel pump. I’m having a difficult time separating the white casing that houses the fuel pump. Any suggestions? Those 3 tabs are causing me the issues. I can’t get all 3 pressed in to remove the housing. 6:04pm

Great detail thanks for helping me plus no cussing

Great video. Nice close up view and in detail instructions.

I don't have any power going to the fuel pump. I assume there should be power when the key is on? The EFI warning light was on before the engine stop running. It had been stalling like it had a blocked fuel filter for a bit. Now it won't start. Is it possible the computer is cutting power because its sensing a fault?

Hello, what pump kit are you using, I have looked and the amount of pumps out there is staggering, whats a good one to use?? Thanks for the great video, mine is a 2008 RZR 800 EFI thanks Reg

Very helpful video. Thank you.

Don’t even have a Ranger but had to watch, great vid!

Very informative, changed pump on my Ace 325 following your video, tnx!

Thanks, you have saved me $400.00

Is the fuel pressure gauge adapter available for purchase somewhere or how do you make one . Thanks in advance for your help. This video was very helpful. I'm assuming my can am defender has a weak pump but want to check pressure before dropping the money on a new pump. After seeing this if it's bad I'll just rebuild it. But I can figure out how to make or get the pressure guage attached to the bike

How do I kno which kit to buy for my utv(2021 cfmoto zforce 950sport fuel pump # 5BY0-150900),please help,don't kno which one to buy

Hello D-Ray new follower, great video, I am about to do this repair on my 2015 Ranger 900 and I noticed the pump kit you bought had a hose in the package but in the video you didn't put it on, are they normally okay or did you put it on when the camera was off? Thanks, Kevin from Texas

great video and you are a great mechanic I wish you lived near me
