Hi all,
So I had to clean out the carb on my kids 2007 sportsman 90 4 stroke. It was gummed up by old gas.
I added just a little new fuel and could not get the thing to start. I did put it on the reserve setting so it would get gas from the lowest part of the tank. cranked and cranked. made sure all the lines and filter are clear. even too apart the fuel valve (off, on, reserve and made sure it was clear).
I noticed that the fuel line from the tank goes "down" to the fuel valve and then "up" to the carb. I ended up doing the raise and lower, raise and lower, raise and lower on the fuel valve and line and then it finally fired up.
I assume this is gravity fed since there is no vacuum pump. Seems strange design, is this normal?
Thanks
