Polaris ATV Fuel Pump Replacement & Fuel Line Routing Trail Boss, Trail Blazer, Sportsman, Scrambler

This video showing the fuel pump replacement, fuel line routing, and a detailed explanation on how the fuel system works on a Polaris ATV.
The ATV shown in this video is a 2008 Polaris Trail Boss 330. I bought this ATV and it had been sitting for several years so I replaced the carburetor and ATV would run, but cut out and bog down. This told me that the engine was running out of fuel. So I decided to replace the fuel pump, it was cheap and a pretty straight forward replacement. When I was looking at the fuel lines I thought that I maybe connected some of them to the wrong positions when I replaced the carburetor so I made this video to show the proper fuel line routing. I also saw that the fuel pickup tubes that go inside the tank had a fair ammount of junk on them so I cleaned them. I also replaced all the fuel lines.
Once I got everything put back together, this ATV is no longer bogging down or cutting out when I ride it.

    2010 Sportsman 500 HO. Just installed the 3rd fuel pump in 12 yrs. 510 hours. Always the same, it's running great then just quits. New pump and its fine for another 6 years. First 2 pumps were Polaris factory pumps. This time I installed a Quantum pump, lifetime warranty and a lot cheaper than factory.

    I understand. With normal fuel prices, running 100 octane aviation gas is a reasonable alternative. You can typically buy this at a small local airport.
