I teed in an electric fuel pump on my Rhine 660 as with only the vacuum pump it would take over five crank attempt before it would start when cold. I have it switched on the dash and when I want to start the engine, I just flick the switch and with just a touch of the key, it starts instantly. After I've run for a bit, I turn the electric pump off and only use the vacuum pump. I now have a back up fuel pump if needed and don't have to worry about killing the battery. What a relief, I should have done this years ago!

When I developed problems with my vacuum pump. I plumbed in an electric and wired it to the starter, it only engaged when I hit the starter. Worked great, winter starting was a breeze fired right up. I now have it as the only pump. I did that for performance as the vacuum pump performs badly in any kind of warm weather. Thanks for watching

I’ve run an electrical pump for over 10 years best thing I ever did. I ran one of those little filters for a bit but they can’t handle the vibration and shake apart on the inside filling the carb up with crap!!! Don’t ask me how I know lol. I never had to run a bypass just straight to the carb. The pump I used looks the same as your a faucet 2 to 4 psi.

Hey thanks for watching, I will start looking for a metal filter or re-locate the little one to some place that does not vibrate. Thanks for the tip. if it blows and plugs the carb, even the old pump will not get it going. I used a by pass on my hot rod so I will stay with that.

Great video! I keep hearing about the electric fuel pump mod but I am going to try to make the stock pump work. Were your fuel lines heat wrapped to maybe stop heat transfer into the fuel? I haven’t tried mine out yet still building it but I think my cold starts will be fine. I drilled out the stock #60 starter jet in the carb. I’m guessing it’s around 100 now and it fires the second I touch the key now but if i don’t turn choke off right away it’ll stall from to much fuel. A #85 jet would probably be better then again at -20 everything will be good i’m sure. My machine is the Chinese version and it has a round fuel pump. Looks to be a mikuni clone. I bought a hi flow fuel pump incase this thing dies. Would like to keep it all mechanical. I wrapped my exhaust pipes with heat wrap plus the larger rad,oil cooler relocate so the whole thing should run cooler might be enough to keep that pump from vapour locking? I wonder if a heat shield around the pump might help or moving it higher up on the roll cage? Time will tell I guess. One last question. Does it only vapour lock after you shut the machine off or while driving?

Awesome job! In my opinion this is the best way to have the fuel system on the 660 rhinos.

I have a quick question. I installed a low flow electric fuel pump on my 660 Rhino. it runs great but when it idles is acts like I may be getting to much fuel. When it starts to die I can turn off the fuel pump and it will idle. What could be the problem? Also I noticed that when you was test driving your Rhino sound pretty quiet. What have you done to make it quiet.

I'm going to be doing this to my 660 in the next few weeks thank you! What is that squeak or noise when you reverse? I have the same thing and want to fix it. Have not looked in to it too far. Thanks for the content.

Mine was converted to the electric pump with the tee to return the excess to the tank. They had to add a shut off switch because gas would start coming out the bottom of the carb. Could the pressure be so much as to keep the float valve open in the carb?

In my opinion I would say too much pressure. I installed a Low Flow pump.

Thank you for Watching.I found that it starts way better than before. Depending on how cold, it takes a bit in the severe cold. I let the pump run a couple of seconds before hitting the starter. Also use the choke

I installed one on my rhino and it starts great but when I drive it, it dies rather quickly like it is starving for fuel. Starts right back up fine. Am I possibly getting to much return to the tank and not to the carb under load? Any ideas on how to fix would be great.

@RhinoRider2006

Hey, thanks for watching. Here are some things I would check or do.Try the choke when you notice it trying to die out. does the bike pick up again? Is your return line same size as the filler? Is your pump level or angled? Is your fill line unobstructed? Is your pump getting enough power when running under load? Where did you power it from?

@RhinoRider2006

Thanks for watching, in my opinion, if the fuel lines are all the same size, should not matter. I would look at the delivery.

So I watched your video and basically copied what you did. Question, where did you wire it up? I can't find any info on this. Not sure if I should go from the battery to a switch, or splice into the ignition wire? Also, what pump did you go with? I bought a Mr. Gasket 2-3.5psi pump and it stopped after 5 mins. I am going back to get the Edlebrock 4-7 psi. Just hoping its not too much fuel pressure

Hey, thanks for watching.. I ran the power through a relay which I mounted beside the fuel tank, then I ran the wiring under the tunnel. I ran to switch, the power to the switch is on the ignition. The reason for the switch is so if I flood it ( I have done it a few times) I can shut the pump off. the reason I went to the ignition is so I cannot leave the pump running when I shut the bike down. I got a Low flow pump from Napa. I only use the choke a little when I start it cold, once it fires I put the foot feed down some and take the choke off. Mine runs really good, have put on about 30 hours since I did this, only problem was me flooding it, I know how to start it now so no more problems. I used a coat hanger to fish the wire through the tunnel.I am not at home or I would include a picture of the relay setup. If you have any other questions shoot them out.

Thanks for watching, If you have ANY technical ability with working on the Rhino or anything, watch the video, it is pretty straight forward. Look at the electric fuel pump you will see where it is mounted, look where the vacuum pump was, you will see it is not there. If you do not know how to wire in a switch then I suggest that you have somebody do it for you as you may burn down your machine. I am not be fetishist or arrogant, this is really straight forward. I learned how to do it by looking at the set up from someone else's video, it was shot after the fact as well.

When backing up, I heard your Rhino "squeaking",mine does the same exact thing, what's causing it?Please message me on Facebook,if you have any answers.
