Contacts look good. Don't pay 80 bucks for a fuel pump when you can get one for less than 12 bucks on ebay with free shipping.Fuel Pump For Polaris Sportsman 400 500 600 Magnum 325 Outlaw 450 Predator ATV | eBay If you prefer Amazon,they have them also.https://www.amazon.com/Polaris-Sport.../dp/B00M5F8C26

Look at the listing! Will fit several different models including the Outlaw and Predator..Polaris has kept this same fuel pump design since 1995.

What little hair I have left I'm about to pull out.. I along with everyone else have to "assume" from comments and statements made from posters. You said it didn't have gas going to the carb from the fuel pump.If that's the case then yes I would have to assume "either the fuel pump is bad,pump hoses hooked up wrong,or even a fuel valve could be clogged. Again these checks were on the trouble shooting check list I posted from the manual..
