I owned that quad for 7 years, rebuilt the motor, and had it basically completely apart, I think I would know if there was a fuel pump, are you refering to the 500 or the LT80? be more specific berfore you start smarting off

I'm talking about the first generation King Quads, as I mentioned earlier, one of the machines with the gas tank above the carb, that you said didn't require a fuel pump. You should check your facts before you post!

If you had read closer, you would have seen I was only replying to atvkillers response that ALL atvs had fuel pumps, that was incorrect, get your facts straight.

yes i had cleaned fuel tank as well as i could let it dry then blowed out with air and refueled with new gas rebuilt carb with a kit put back on will not run it will rev up as long as im running the starter but when i leave off the starter it stalls then i tryed to give it fuel as i left off the throttle and it back fires it seem like your taking the spark away but it has spark with starter and when i use the pull starter seems maybe that its electrical i have tried spraying fuel in back of carb with a spray bottle and it wil not pich up ether any other help would be great and thanks for all the help so far TONY.

Default Fuel shut off valves

Hello everyone. I have a LT 500 and just bought new carb that came with a new shut off valves. The shut off valve was different. It was similar to most with one outlet and On, Off, and Res. I'm confused on if it can still be used instead of the original with the two outlets and Res, Pri, and On. Motor floods right out
