so my 05 sportsman 500 carb has been bogging and sputtering at high speeds and accellerates slowly and has trouble going up hills, so i took the 3 lines of the fuel pump and the top line pissed gas out like mad, the middle one just dripped and a litgle was draining out constantly and the bottom line did nothing, is my fuel pump faulty?

 

The top line goes to the carb(outlet) it should have fuel. The one right below it is the inlet from the fuel valve,should have a little fuel draining out of it. The one on the bottom is the vacuum line to the carb (has a "p" on the plate) shouldn't have fuel.... Clean your carb first..

 

how much fuel should be coming out of the 2nd line cause just a little was dribbling out andmy quad won't start or run at all anymore

 

IF the top outlet line is pissing fuel then it's getting plenty fuel from the inlet!! CLEAN YOUR CARB

 

on the top line, no fuel is coming out of the pump its just coming out of the line is that how its supposed to be?

 

One last time! It wont be coming out of the fuel pump,fuel will just be backing out of the line to the carb because the fuel pump has to have a constant vacuum for it to pump.That is the engine has to be RUNNING.When the engine stops,the pump stops! Don't sweat the small stuff,CLEAN YOUR CARB,change your plug,hook the hoses back up correctly,then see if it runs better...

 

lol ok but i think i screwd up the one with the "P" is the one with fuel and the one on top has no fuel!

 

by top line i mean the one facing out most has no fuel and the one with the p is dripping fuel

 

is the inlet the one on the front of the carb?
