I got through step by step how I fixed the hard starting on my dad's 2007 Yamaha Rhino 660.

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!!!

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.

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

The primer bulb will also help with vapor lock in hot weather

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

@thehonestmechanic Жыл бұрын

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

@oby-1607 Жыл бұрын

@@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.

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.

@nomadchad8243 2 ай бұрын

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.

Just picked up a 2004 Yamaha Rhino, in very good condition only 700 klm on it. But cold starting sucks. I'm going to do your fix and hope it works. My question is how many times do you have to prime the pump? dont want to flood the carb. and this was a year ago could you do an update on your fix? thanks Rhino On!!!!

@thehonestmechanic 29 күн бұрын

That is a great find! I recommend priming the ball until it is firm(kinda like an outboard motor). It should now flood as long as the carburetor is in good shape(the needle, seat and float all work together as they should) Thank you and good luck 👍

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

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?

@thehonestmechanic 5 ай бұрын

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!

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?

@thehonestmechanic Жыл бұрын

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. 😉

@alexchic5074 Жыл бұрын

@@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.

Looking online for the pump forgot to ask the internal diameter of the hose found one on Amazon stating it's an 8 mm internal diameter is that correct? Thanks for your time

@thehonestmechanic 29 күн бұрын

@TimberJay I can't remember exactly but I did have to use some reducers to make the connections. I recommend using quality clamps to prevent leaks

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

@thehonestmechanic 6 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
