Can’t find serial number ID number any identification as far as year model!
Last running 12 years ago!
Had about 1 quart of fuel in the tank?
My God that is so horrible smelling rot!
Got the tank off full of peanut butter and jelly !
Got the petcock off , only part of it there so gooey that’s starting fluid does not even want to cut it!
Will move to the carburetor tomorrow, not even going to try to rebuild just gonna order a factory replacement!

vin should be in the frame under the foot rests, could be on either side. or on a upright bar on the front or rear...
12 digit gives you the year... you will be tempted to grab a 30 buck ebay carb... clean you original,.. you can buy the chepo to get it running, but they dont hold up.. as far as the tank... it should be plastic... if you cant clean it, you can get one used for under 100 bucks... fill you tank full of gas, and let it sit while you get everything else done... 3 or 4 days minimum... then shake the crap out of it and see what happens... should be a good quad when you are done....
good luck..

Lacquer thinner will liquify the contents of that tank…it will do wonders in that carb bowl too…

Well, when you’re half blind and one eye in the whole blind in the other, and you’re crawling around on your knees, looking for **** that you can find I still haven’t had any luck finding it

don't get a china made replacement carb

Pine Sol does wonders on cleaning a carb, cheaper and just as good as a gallon can of carb cleaner with the dunk bucket

Pine Sol cleaned this one that was in very very bad condition, soaked overnight
