I wanted to start a new thread about this. If you have an old 2008 Teryx like my Chompy, then you know the fuel pressure bleeds down over time.
They can be a real pain to start after sitting for a week or two.
The old lines and the mechanical fuel pump can’t maintain the vacuum pressure indefinitely so all the fuel bleeds back down into the tank.
Well Trexxer gave me a solution to the problem: just add a primer pump from a boat tank.

Badda Bing Badda Boom!!!

Problem solved. No electric fuel pump needed, no rejetting the carbs, no fuel regulator, nada.

I got the primer from Amazon for 15 bucks, and had it installed in 5 minutes flat.

This is one of the best mods I’ve seen for the first gen Teryxs.
Thanks again, Trexxer

I have the same machine with the same problem 😂 Where did install the primer bulb? Do you have to remove the seat each time to prime? TIA

Bikermutt07, this sounds wonderful! Can you post some details, link to the Amazon parts and add some pictures? I am going to do this on my 08.

It was super easy, just unclamp the hose from the tank that goes to the fuel filter, then install the bulb facing in the right direction. (It has an arrow on the bulb). I didn’t even trim the hoses down. I just ran the slack behind the passenger seat so I can access it easily.

Thanks! I ordered it and will put it in once the 20' of snow melts away and I can get the Teryx out of the garage.

Just saw this thread and having the same problems. Is the primer bulb still working for those that have tried it? Thanks.

Installed a primer bulb this morning. The '08 starts, idles, and runs better then it has in a long while. Thanks folks.
