Negative, I'm a bold one. It's my shop vac, so I don't care if it gets some gas in it. That, and I had it filled with sand to absorb the fuel that did get sucked into the vac.

The other problem with it is that the orifice for the primestart is to large for the fuel side, and it floods when the primestart is open. This thing is just a fine example of chinese crapmanship. He has complained about how this buggy has run since new, and it all has been carb problems the dealer wouldn't fix. Other than having to hold the throttle open when it's cold until the primestart closes, it now runs awesome. I hate having to find machining errors, and hate even more having to find solutions to the machining errors.
