You won't believe all the crud it'll keep out of your carburator and turning a fun filled day into a nightmare. Some jet holes on these ATV's are just larger than what seems like a human hair, so you know it doesn't take much to plug up. Replace fuel filter every year. It'll be cheaper than that repair bill it'll cost you to rebuild your carb from your service center.

i was reading that thread started by saber6 (awesome reference)and have a question about the fuel filter on my quad, i just bought a 2004 400 AT rancher and its been blurping and acts like rev limiter, since i am totally new to this, i was wondering if my quad is equipped with a fuel filter or is it something i need to tap in the line.
tx for your help, btw bougth the quad without repair manual, martin
