Default LT80 REED VALVE

While riding this weekend my son's LT stalled while going up a mountain road, first look seemed to be plugged fuel **** because of no fuel and good spark. I pulled the vaccume line and sucked on it and fuel ran out fine. This is my question, do I require a reed valve replacment or fuel **** valve replacment. The quad started fine after putting the fuel lines back on.

If it's fine now, then it's prolly just one of those things that are never explained.
I don't feel that the reeds would effect it like you said, and the petcock is obviously working fine by your vaccum test.
I think I would clean the carb.
FYI:: You can leave out that black rubber piece in the float bowl.

I think your right, I may be looking for a problem when there is none. We were going slow up along hill on a hot day, I think Ill take your advice and clean the fuel system to be sure. Thanks.

a hot day between your torrential rains??[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] seriously, hope you guys got that under control. maybe it was a vapor lock. make sure gas tank tube is clear too, or fuel won't flow. AND, if you do have a petcock prob. banshee PC fits same hole in tank, but 1/4 the price.

The Rain is gone, but left large puddles that you cant keep a 9yr and 7yr old out of on quads. They have fun, and I get to clean them. I still dont know what it was really but think it had something to do with the pc valve and diaphram sticking ( not a major problem while out on the lease roads) . I looked at the banshee pc at ronnies( this is fantastic to see the parts) and did not see a vaccume line, or diapham. would you just need to plug the vac from the carb.
