Why is gas in the oil on a 2001 big bear ATV?
I ASSUME YOUR ATV IS CARBURETED. CHECK FLOAT NEEDLE AND SEAT. POSSIBLE DEBRIS NOT ALLOWING VALVE TO SEAT, OVER FLOWING CARB BOWL. WORN NEEDLE.DOES FUEL TANK HAVE A MANUAL SHUT OFF VALVE OR VACUUM OPERATED PETCOCK. IF MANUAL PETCOCK IS LEFT ON ALL THE TIME CARB CAN OVERFILL , EVEN WITH A WORKING FLOAT NEEDLE ASSY. IF VACUUM OPERATED PETCOCK POSS DIAPHRAGM SHUTOFF VALVE STICKING. DIASSEMBLE CARB AND CLEAN,CHECK FLOAT LEVEL.
How do you access a fuel filter on a 2002 Harley Davidson motorcycle?
The first thing to do is drain all fuel from the gas tank. Begin with turning the valve of the petcock to OFF. Then the fuel hose from the petcock to the carburetor is loosened at it lower end and the fuel drained from the tank itno a sutable vessel. Next, remove vacuum hose from the nipple on the back of the petcock. Turn the valve to "Reserve". Drain the reserve gas out from the tank by using a vacuum pump connected to the nipple. When no fuel is left remove the vaccum line and the pump. The next step is to remove the petcock from the tank. This is easily done by loosening and then removing the nut that fastens it to the underside of the gas tank. When you remove the petcock you will see a long screen in the form of a cylinder come out of the gas tank. Clean or replace the screen filter. Reassemly is the reverse of dissassembly except you don't need to use the vacuum pump again. Note that the threads of the petcock should be coated with a suitable sealant that can withstand gasoline. Also replace the gasket under the nut holding the petcock in place. Insert the assembled parts into the gas tank and then tighten the petcock nut well in place. The hoses are finally attached. Now you can fill gasoline in the tank but check carefully for leaks. It's no joke getting a gasoline leak right onto the hot engine.

Petcock positions for 1982 maxim 750?
This isn't technically a question, but I'll take a stab at answering what I think you're asking. There are three positions on that bike's petcock. They are: On, Res, and Pri. Meaning regular tank, reserve tank and prime. There's no Off because the petcock is vacuum driven, meaning if the engine isn't running, there is no vacuum, so the petcock is off, it doesn't need a setting for that. On is what you use normally, Res if you run low on gas, Pri is only used if you want to get fuel in the carbs without the bike running for some reason, or draining the tank or something. Some people use that setting if their petcock is bad, because you can run it that way if you have a vacuum leak caused by a bad diaphragm, but it can cause some problems, flooding, etc. Hope that's what you needed.
As I had turned the gas switch off on my Yamaha 400 Big Bear and forgot to turn it back on then drove it until it stopped and now I can't get it to start even with gas and choke on what can be wrong?
The petcock requires the vacuum of a running engine to stay open. Because you ran the carbs dry you now need to bypass the vacuum system to allow the carbs to fill. Turn the petcock to prime (PRI) and leave for about 30 sec. If it starts, move petcock to on.
