I've been having some problems with my quad cutting out at 3/4 throttle or more. I figured the main jst was clogged, so I took the carb apart and cleaned it out with carb cleaner. I found a little bit of sediment in the float bowl when I did this. The quad ran fine for the next few rides, but then started cutting out again at the end of the last ride. I took the carb apart again and cleaned out the jets and float bowl. I didn't see any visible sediment, but again this fixed the problem. I'm pretty sure a bad tank of gas is whats causing the sediment in the gas tank. Is there a way to flush out the gas tank?

take the tank off, and dump anything thats left out. put some fresh gas in and shake it around, then dump that out. also invest in an inline fuel filter. they run about $3..
