I have been trying to buy several older 4 wheelers to leave at a remote camp as work vehicles (not play-toys). I am kind of new to them. I rode dirt-bikes for years, but am new to these four-wheelers.
I just got what I think was a great buy on a cosmetically "challenged" 1995 Suzuki with 4WD, three range aux trans against a 5 speed, differential locks, winch, etc. Last owner rolled it and bent up a few things but it runs great. $1000.
When I put is away at the camp, I tried to shut the gas off as I do with all things with gravity-feed gas tanks. But - when I looked at the fuel shut-off, there is no "off" like all my others have. I have no owner's manual to explain things and was in a hurry. Choices are "ON", "RES", or "PRI." So I know I did not want on, or reserve. So, in frustration - I stuck it on "PRI." Now after getting home 120 miles away, I find out this thing has an automatic fuel shut-off kind of like some John Deere two-cylinder tractors had. This one works off of engine-vacuum instead of oil-pressure like a Deere. So it seems the "PRI" stands for "primer" and I left it in the one position that it can now flood. Oh well. See how it looks next time I am up there.
