I suspect that the evils of ethanol and the carb problems that follow have been discussed at length in here. But I wanted to get some comments on fuel injection and how it might end the problem once and for all. I have a '99 450ES and a '01 Recon. I've had them both in the shop about once a year to get the carbs cleaned out and sometimes the gas tank cleaned out. At the moment, the 450ES periodically backfires [always exciting] and the Recon stalls when idling. Everyone says its the ethanol in the gas that's doing it. Then someone said that the new fuel injected ATVs would help end the problem -- maybe not eliminate it but greatly reduce the frequency of repair needed.
Has anyone out there bought a fuel injected four-wheeler? Has it reduced the bad gas problem? And how do you like the model you bought?
Thank you for your thoughts.
