P1000 PSA vent lines and intake.

[infernored1000]

If you have not done so extend your vent lines and check your intake connections.

So almost two weeks I got some bad gas and had to pull the tank to drain and clean it, thankfully the machine only ran for about 30 seconds before we realized what we put into it.

After pulling the tank and seeing the vent line locations, I understand why so many on here recommend extending them, I don’t ride water and barely play in the mud but as a precaution I am extending the vent lines, Also while I was waiting for the new fuel filter and after reading on here about some guys intake couplings being loose I inspected mine and sure enough barely finger tight, so I pulled the floor to check that coupling and it was the loosest of all, tightened up all the connections and with vent lines extended shouldn’t have to worry about accidental getting swamped or at least a little piece of mind lol

With all the hills, we don't have any water around me deeper than 6-9" and one of the first things I did was extend all the vent lines. Scary what some guys went through.

Oh ya..
We been speaking about this for a long time. Its a known problem. Even brand new units have had this sitting out in heavy rains at dealers.
