Took the new to me outty for a rip yesterday, it seemed to have issues starting after beverage breaks. The only way I could get it to start was to give it a bit of gas. Kind of like a carbed quad. The quad has 1900kms, are these quads known for fuel pump issues?

I’m not sure I just bought the quad, but it was about 2/3 full.
What octane do you run in yours? 91?

They are known for fuel pump issues actually.

Also check/clean the IAC motor/IBV.

87 octane is better than 91 in that rig. If you feel the need for 91, use Shell gold (no ethanol).
