I bought a lift table at a sellout of a cycle upfitter. The fuel pump suction strainer had disintegrated in the tank. The tank had some sticky red crap in the bottom that would not mix with the gas. I dumped the gas and mopped up the red stuff with towels. Then found that methanol would make the red stuff mix with the leftover gas and pour out the tank. I think what fuel was in it caused the fuel pump to liquify. Then the carburetor throttle plate was frozen. I worked with carb and choke cleaner and finally got the throttle shaft pulled and the throttle shaft had the same sticky stuff. This only had maybe 10-12 hours on it if that much. It has been sitting 2 years. I never put anything in the tank but gasoline. I try to buy only premium unleaded no ethanol. I buy from the same place. I have it nearly all back together and I tried the starter and it fired with the little fuel in the fuel line. Now I have my 2012 Arctic Cat 700 with power steering to find the problems. The power steering, 4wd, lights, fan all quit working. I have checked all relays and fuses. The fan was the first to go then the power steering, then 4wd and last the lights. Arctic Cat has become very hard to get correct parts for. Textron bought them and now they are producing their own brand of ATV and letting the Arctic Cat division go hungry. It doesn't make sense, but I have 3 of them. My first Arctic Cat was a 2008 366 model. i bought it when I first started consulting and it was what I could afford. I paid for it in 4 months, financed it with my credit card. I bought that 2019 model when the 366 would not run above idle. I bought the 2019 700 to use while the 366 was being worked on. It took 2 weeks at least before the dealer would get it into the shop to work on it. When I picked up the 366, it ran good for about 30 minutes. I put an Ebay carburetor on it and it would not start. When I was working on it I found all the rubber connections on it were cracked and leaking. Why the dealer did not change these I don't know. They charged nearly $500 to rebuild the carburetor. It turns out that the dealer I bought all these Arctic Cats from is no longer an Arctic Cat dealer. The closest one is over 120 miles away. I had done a lot of business with them for service over the years. I messaged them about the problems I was having, and got the response that they were sorry for all the problems I was having. So, I bought a lift table and will do all my own work like I used to do. The last time I put a fuel pump in my old 700, my back was killing me for days. I have to be able to work while sitting in a chair. now that i have tried the lift table, it needs a little modifications on the safety stops to get it at just the right height. It works great though, as it will run off a small compressor.<br>
