I was going to go out riding over the holiday weekend and went to start up my quad and it would not start. I could not hear the fuel pump engage. So I started checking the most common problem the relay and everything was good. So I decided to pull the gas tank. I took the tank out and then pulled out the fuel pump. There was a ground wire on the pump that had been broken off. Not really sure how this happened considering I've never wrecked it and it only has about 20hrs on it. Has anyone else had this issue? Also would it be safe to solder this back on? Mostly nervous about doing this since it was covered in gas.

You should clean the pump and wire off with contact cleaner first then you will be fine soldering to it. The fuel will only ignite with an open flame.
