Quick question, atv has been running fine but today I ran out of fuel. Machine was sputtering and popping and when I opened the gas tank it was bone dry. When I got home I filled it up and when I started it, it was still running like crap. Seems to be better now but would running out of fuel cause any issues I should be worried about?

May have sucked up some water or trash. Takes awhile to clear one out when you do this.The pump assembly has a mesh filter in the tank plus has an external fuel filter. If you haven't changed the external filter,might be time to do it. 23 bucks here.Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Polaris, Suzuki & Kawasaki OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse Plus here's one on ebay. Just look around for the best price on this one.http://www.ebay.com/itm/Polaris-Sportsman-500-700-800-EFI-2006-2007-2008-2009-Fuel-Filter-2520464-/151592180842?hash=item234b991c6a&vxp=mtr

Thank you sir! It seemed to get better as I ran it but I'm afraid of getting stranded.
