I have a 2000 Mule 2510 that was given to me by a relative who bought a new 600 because it wasnt running. Installed new plugs and it gets great fire. Installed new fuel filter cause the old one looked original and was horrible looking. Tried jumping the electric fuel pump straight to my battery and it almost melted my jumper wires which tells me it has a short or is froze up??? I found a new pump for $139 at ATVWorks.com but was wondering if there was a way to use an aftermarket automotive in line pump which I can get for under $50. I know the mule pump is low pressure but was hoping to save some money. I found an inline pump at Summitt for $58 that only puts out 4.5 psi. Does anyone know the specs on the Kawasaki pump?

Thanks,

Mike

 

I used a low opressure one from o'reilly's on an older mule, worked fine, just wire it so it is on -off with the key.

 

Kerbbirds, I did buy a low pressure Facet pump (4-7 lbs) and wired it as you described and it started and ran fine but now it smokes and smells like gas in the oil. Is the pressure too hi? I saw another post yesterday where someone used one from Napa that ran around 8 lbs and thats why I got this one. Does the Fuel relay decide when the pump should pump or just give it power. Wiring it like I did bypassed the fuel relay and wasnt sure if that was the problem.
