MY RHINO STARTED SPITTIN AND SPUTTERING, IT WILL IDLE FINE BUT WHEN YOU GIVE IT GAS IT WILL POP AND BACKFIRE, IT WAS RUNNING FINE ON SATURDAY BUT THEN ON TUESDAY I WENT TO RIDE IT AND IT WILL NOT GET UP AND GO LIKE IT WAS. WE CHANGED THE FUEL FILTER THINKING IT WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH FUEL, WELL THAT DID NOT WORK NOW I M THINKING I MIGHT HAVE GOTTEN WATER IN THE TANK WHAT DO YOU THINK HAS ANYONE CAME ACROSS THIS BEFORE ON A RHINO

Have you drained the carb yet? That would be where I started.

Arter you have drained the bowl and it still does it, pull the return line off the tank and shove a carb jet in the hose and put it back on the tank. It doesnt matter what size jet, your goal hear is to raise the pressure going to the carb to bandaid a weakening fuel pump. I've done several this way and have had good luck with no drawbacks for a couple years now.
