Best Value Fuel Pumps and Accessories

But if you can afford to buy the entire fuel pump assembly with the new pump already installed then DO IT! Be ready to know how to solder beginner. Luckily I knew how. This pump, at least the Sportsman 570, has fewer cable entry holes on the pump than actual Polaris cables. This wouldn't be a problem if you installed the pump according to their instructions, but they force you to do it the hard way. Rather than simply soldering the new pump to the existing wiring, the instructions advise replacing the wiring for the pump assembly. This means that in my method, 3 new connections are soldered instead of 1. For this reason 3 stars. Beginners will not care. I do. Improve your product to get 5 stars. Include fewer wires but still include them, in case new users make mistakes and cut too many wires they can connect your wire to it to get the pump back into the build. Also, pull out the wire about 2 gauge more and don't solder extra wire in. Leave them aside, we have solder and if we don't have it we still can't install your part. Making these changes will make it quicker and easier for your more experienced team and newcomers to install the product when building the product. more reliable because you don't have to replace all the pump wiring, just swap out the pump, filter, and o-rings and tubing when needed.
