Honda - Tube, Fuel - 16955-HP5-600

Fuel system problem on 2007 Honda Rancher 420. Engine would starve for gas in high speed. First suspect was the fuel pump or filter. Removed fuel pump and found the filter was dark from sediment. Replaced both pump and filter due to age. On trial run, the engine still stuttered in 3rd gear but not as bad. Next suspect was the fuel shutoff valve and fuel lines. I noticed the fuel line from shutoff valve to fuel pump was soft and decided to replace that and other connector parts. After removal of the fuel shutoff valve and inspection, that did not seem bad, so I cleaned and replaced it. I next removed the fuel line from fuel pump to injector, and checked the fuel flow from pump to injector by turning the ignition on and seeing how much flow there was into my container, and to remove any trapped air in the system. Put back together, ran great.
