Hi,
I live in Phoenix AZ and store my quad in the garage over the summer months. It's just too darn hot to ride in the summer here in the desert...112 - 116 is just way too hot unless I go north to the mountains.
Anyway the gas went bad in the tank. I drained the bad gas, replaced the fuel filter and re-fueled with fresh gas but can't get it started. When I spray starting fluid in the intake it runs for a few seconds which tells me it's getting spark and the electrical checks out okay. But when I disconnect the gas line from the injector no gas is present. I'm thinking it's the fuel pump.
Can someone tell me when the pump is located, how to access it and how to diagnose it? I would much appreciate it.
Thanks,
John

Can the pump be replaced without the entire tank being replaced?
I do hear the pump prime when I turn the key but no gas at fuel rail.</end quote></div>
Tank and pump sold as a unit,hope this is not your problem. Good luck
