    When I try to fill my 2011 WX1850 I can’t keep the pump running and the gas keeps kicking back and overflowing the fill port. It is really a pain to get much gas in it. Has anyone found a solution to this? Where I get gas is fairly level.

    Your vent tube has a kink in it or is blocked.

    I had that happen to my skeeter 1790 and it always vapor locked, They fixed it at the dealer. They shortened a hose

    The vent hose to the rear tank of my 1880 was long enough that its lowest point was lower than the gas tank. Gas works back from the tank and sits in the low spot causing a vapor lock. You can remove the section of floor that covers the tanks and reroute or shorten the vent hose so that gas in the vent hose drains back into the tank.
