Did dealer check fuel pressure on the injector rail? Plus there were air box problems on the early models along with dirty throttle bodies,plus we found a few that the t-bap sensor and air boot between air box and throttle body were caked with dirt. First things I can think of. OPT

Default 2008 rzr gas leak

Sorry i can't help with backfire. but something 2008 rzr owners should know
about ,if the fuel tank should leak. I have been fighting a leak at the fuelpump-tank flang and i can't get it to stop.After the dealer only fix was to buy a new tank with the fuelpump instaled in it.So i tryed to find one online.
What i found instead was recall notices for my rzr. 2008 800 rzr with tank mod#
ro8vh76ad[like mine] are listed in the recall and should be taken to dealer
for repair.My dealer did not say anything about the recall. I am going there
monday to hopefully fix it. Witch He should have done it in the first place.
