I bet you can find some huckleberrys on that one. 570 I have runs good. But I still like the cat better.

I hear ya Al, but just decided to stay with the brand that has served me so well. They're all comparable anymore. As long as they do what us old guys need them to do is all I can ask.

[BigAl52]

Is the battery in yours still in that jackass place down way low in the frame? Or did they move it up under the seat.

[markiver54]

The one in my old jackass is under the seat. New one is on the frame toward the front. both a PITA to get to!

[BigAl52]

Yup thats a stupid place for a battery. You just about need to take a wheel off.

Is what it is I guess. If those dang batteries lasted longer, wouldn't be as much an issue!

I've found that the small 12V batteries intended for use in some Hondas is a good substitute for ATV batteries. They fit and certainly last a lot longer.

Thanks for the tip Mags, if they do in fact fit.

Do you keep a tender on it Mark

Do you keep a tender on it Mark

Yes, have always kept a tender on the old one. Will have to get another for new machine though.

Took the polaris 570sp to a buddies house today. We tore into it. Went to the local Oreilly auto parts sore and rented fuel pressure gauge. Did a test on the fuel pump and only got 20 psi out of it. So both of us believe the pump is shot. Ordered a new pump kit off ebay and should have it by next weekend. I will keep you posted as to the progress. 80.00 for the kit and right now I know if I would of taken it to the shop by the time this is done it would have been 500.00 easy. gotta love youtube.

looking forward to your coming reports .... do hope it takes care of the problem

Good luck with the fix Al. I do have a vested interest in the outcome.!!

Im on the road but my good friend who let me bring that Polaris to his house reported back to me today that he had installed the new fuel pump in the Polaris. Back to gether now and running like it should. Pump kit with new regulator and orings was 80.00. Gotta love you tube.

[markiver54]

Great Al! Thanks for the feedback. Glad Ya got her running good again! $80.00 parts and labor ain't bad.

[BigAl52]

Im sure Mark if it would been taken to the shop it would have been a 500.00 dollar bill to get it back out.

[JEBar]

I've never had or ridden a Polaris 4-wheeler .... from casual knowledge my general impression of them has been favorable .... are fuel pump issues common with them or was yours an isolated incident

Yes!! No doubt! Ya done good Al

[BigAl52]

Im not sure Jim on common. But when I did research on issues with mine I did run into some threads about frequency of fuel pump issues with Polaris fuel injected 4 wheelers. I saw where a few people had put multiple pumps in theres in a short time. Seems to me there was issues with heat from the engine heating up the bottom of the gas tank.

Wow, I'm glad to be aware of that Al! Hopefully they have addressed that issue on my 2019. Have not even been able to ride it since I bought it because of a severe back injury. Have up-coming MRI, followed by surgery.
My summer has been almost half lost at this point.
