Quick and easy way to test Polaris Sportsman fuel pump!

In this video I show you a quick and simple way to reliably determine whether your fuel pump is bad in most cases. There are a few cases where the fuel pump may work intermittently and if so you need to wait until the ATV will not crank at all before doing this test to determine if the fuel pump is bad.

My Polaris quit on me the other day, andthats all im hearing its the fuel pump! I did what you did with the injector, its not spraying like that! I have one on order from Amazon. Thanks for the help!

@@tabithamaas6562 is it spraying at all?

[@manuelsalgado8510]

What if my injector is shooting out mass fuel instead of spraying? My injector also looks like it came apart in 2 pieces , but it doesn’t spray like yours. Like with a water hose without a nozzle

[@jeshualee2711]

You obviously just need a new injector. There are some cheap $25 ones on Amazon and eBay

@@jeshualee2711 I just bought it? I’ll put it on and let you know. Thanks

Can i just undo the clip and disconnect the line to see if i have pressure? Because i did.. and it will not spray out when cranking. But it will steady drip if i hold line down. Thanks

@@justicebruno5249 no, don't disconnect the line from the injector housing. It's usually too hard to remove and may break. You want to hear the pump run for a second and see it spray out the injector. If there is nothing spraying out the injector but the pump runs for a couple of seconds, then the pump or injector is bad.

@@jeshualee2711 it didn't break . I'm pretty sure I hear the pump. Fuel just drips. I'd imagine if it not making to the fuel rail it won't spray into the injector. unless the connection has a built in check valve? But I can try hooking it back up. Pulling the injector. Thanks for the info

@@justicebruno5249 if it's just dripping out the hose and the pump is running then the pump is bad for sure
