I feel like such a noob with this question. LOL

So I have noticed that when I use the arrow on the fuel selector switch it always seems to cut off. So either the arrow is wrong or I am not suppose to use the arrow LOL.

My buddy has the same issue with his 700xx, any chance these could have been installed backwards at the factory?
:stupid:
Thanks in advance,
CJ

Yes, This has been mentioned in many threads.

Yup happened to a few of us.

Mine was installed wrong and the knob fell off

and good thing I was miles out in the desert with no pliers. I thought first day out what can go wrong.

Thanks

i can let my 700xx run with fuel valve on off the 3 oclock position and it never runs out of gas . my 400ex will run for a minute or two and cut off with the fuel valve cut off

 

[smo0oth1]

The XX can run about 15 min on off.

 

[tbird88]

thanks , is that because of the different fuel delivery system?

 

[smo0oth1]

Yes, you should double check your selector also.

I think this answers the question I was going to just post. I knew to check this but today I had the arrow pointed to the fuel on indicator and was letting the quad idle. It ended shutting off. I was confused by this so I put it to reserve and it ran fine with no issue, also seems to run fine in the off position. I'm guessing they installed mine wrong.

Good stuff. I'm glad I got the advice on this forum to check it.

is there anyone who can do a good post on how to check this out. i dont have a clue if mines wright or wrong.

I am pretty sure the correct setting is off at 12 o clock, on at 9 o clock and reserve at 6 o clock. I haven't had a problem at that's the way mine is set up. Not sure if this helps.

 

[tbird88]

thats not right you have it backwards

I have had mine off while installing a new tank I know for sure mine is 12 o clock reserve, 9 o clock off, and 6 o clock on.

Are you sure that the knob was installed correctly? It looks like it could be forced on incorrectly.

If I get a chance I will try to get a pic, I marked it with white paint so my ancient eyes can see it in poor light.

Your right I had it backwards sorry. Reserve at 12, off at 9, and on at 6.:tup:

Dang...I always pointed mine to "Fuel" No wonder I always ran out of gas..:lmao::lmao::lmao:

Hey guy my Honda when I ride it will start acting like it wants to cut off then stop and run fine but now it does that and will cut off completely when I'm in the gas
