P500 Pioneer 500 cutting out

[CraigC]

So I swamped my 500 about a month ago. I’ve changed the fluids in the front and rear. Didn’t think to check the fuel and had water in the gas I ran it before I realized it. Now it is cutting out like it’s starving for fuel. It seems to do it more when pulling hills or the trail gets a little more rough. If it does die it will usually start right back up. Has any one experienced this?

You say that you had water in the fuel, how did you resolve that issue? When I swamped my P500 I had to completely empty the tank, add new fuel, disconnect the fuel line to the FI throttle body and pump fuel into a glass bowl until no more water, then put back together.

I siphoned the gas and water out of the tank and filled with new gas.

My guess is that you either still have moisture in that tank or you have moisture in some of your electrical connectors. But could be many things.

Do u have some pics of it swamped?

Try running Sea Foam in the tank…they also have a spray try it in the air box it’ll smoke but get rid of the water. I’ve been using it for years. Good Luck!

Looks like a snorkel and extended vent tubes in your future…fyi check your diffs for water, good time to replace with synthetic.

He already changed those fluids.
But you are correct about snorkeling it. Would have helped for sure

I didn’t get water through air intake I’ve got it piped up under the hood with a pre filter. I am going to raise the vents for the diffs. I sucked water through the exhaust.

Make sure the plug wire boot is good and clean it out and put new die electric grease in it. Also the two plugs in the voltage regulator also. Water end electronic stuff is bad sounds more like a voltage issue than a fuel problem

And prob your gas tank and radiator vent as well

Thanks for the information guys it much appreciated. I will be checking the connections for sure. What is the best way to get the vents to better locations sos this doesn’t happen again?

Pull the passenger side seat plastics. Gas tank is right underneath and you'll see the vent hose.

$20-ish bucks in tube from the local auto parts store. I forget the sizes but they are posted in here somewhere. Route them underneath and zip tie the longer lines up the ROPS until you know you’ll never be that deep. Cheap and simple. You can do more cosmetically if you want of course.
