My brother took his five times to a mechanic in Blanding UT and it was a piece of crap. My 13 year old nephew tells his dad he wants to be a mechanic. So my brother says he can try with the side by side. He watched you, fixed the side by side and they had a day of fun with the side by side actually working!

Best, easiest, affordable, effective solution of my year. Thanks for sharing.

Great idea...Thank You. I try to remember to start it once a week to keep the float bowl full. I have a 2007 Rhino 450 (Love it) and I found that using an Iridium spark plug also helps it fire up quickly.

OMG….. yes this is exactly what I need!! Mine has had issues all the time and now it will not start because no gas to Carb. I will try this first and then try the electric fuel pump if it does not work. Thank you so much!!!

Great idea, wish I had seen this easy fix before installing my electric fuel pump system and switches. Thanks.

Those primer bulbs have a 1-way valve in them to act as an anti-drain feature. Swapped an old (original) bulb for new on my 69 Merc 1000 outboard and its a night/day difference in starting. Great idea on any older vacuum pump engines.

Thats a great idea, mine runs great but after a month I need to use spray start to get the fuel to the carb. I tried an electric pump and it started great but It would often overcome the float needle and flood the carb making it a fire hazard.

i just hold my hand over the air intake on my 2005, works every time

I only wish you had cleaned off the engine so we could see everything. Thanks for the tip. I just ordered the inline primer bulb.

Super good video,

Lots of people also change out the fuel pumps to key on electric pumps.. I like your idea too..

I wanted to keep it simple and reliable. An electric lift pump is possibly better....

@@thehonestmechanic I really doubt the electric lift pump is better because if an accident occurs and the rhino is upside down or on its side and the fuel line gets a leak, the pump will continue to pump fuel as long as it has power and can make a situation way worse than it can be. Probably why the factory uses a vacuum pump.

Thanks, I'll try this.

Thank you! 🙏

Hey bud , great video. I too have this problem but will follow your suggestions. I recently replaced the battery and now I have all the lights but it will not turn over. Could there be a fuse gone bad?

So just starting from the top, I'm assuming that the battery is food and that it's installed properly. After that, there is a breaker for the starting circuit. It's usually located in the battery box . I would check it first. Also, thank you for watching!

Can you get to that squeeze ball without taking to the drivers seat? Great video

Yes but it's much easier to remove the passenger seat

I bought one of these for my church, the church is a 40 minute drive from my house, so I'm sorry to pesker you with a question but it'll save me a good hours drive. Did you have to buy fuel lines for this mod? If so what's the ID?

I did have to buy some fuel line and adapters. I used whatever size the current fuel system was which if memory serves it's 3/16 and adapted it to the smallest primer bulb I could find which I think was 1/4. Unless of course you can find a primer bulb that is the correct size and simply splice it in. 😉

@@thehonestmechanic that was my original thought process, splicing it in. I've bought 4 different sizes just in case. But as a precautionary, I'll spend a little more for fuel lines too. Thank you for the quick reply and info. Much appreciated, and I've subscribed.

Will this work on a 2009 rhino that is fuel injected?

This modification is intended for carburated models. Fuel injection already has a higher pressure fuel pump

Where did you get your primmer ball?

Did you use 1/4" or 5/16" hose?

@thehonestmechanic

5 ай бұрын

Pretty sure the primer bulb was 5/16 and the regular fuel line was 1/4. I ended up using a reducer to make everything work together

👏👏👍

Do you bypass the fuel pump all together or are you still going into it ? Thanks

Great idea mine is hard to start after sitting How can you get the primer if the passenger seat is in place??

I bought an electric fuel pump for mine , I just have not installed it yet.

This is mine it Will run the battery down

Or just get a fuel pump, we got rid of the vacuum pump.
