Hello! I have a 2004 Silver Eagle Lt5000 Dixie chopper. It runs fine, but the past 2 times out it has started using gas from only the right hand side tank. Where should I check and what should I check for? The manual has nothing about trouble shooting this issue. Thanks!

See fuel components page 17 in parts manual. It may be time to drain gas tanks & inspect all parts, example: fuel hose hard & cracking, bushings in bottom of tanks cracked, trash in tanks or fuel lines, elbows stopped up, etc. Be sure to change engine fuel filter.When you change bushings at bottom of fuel tanks put vasoline, silicone dielectric, etc. on inside & outside of bushings, this will make it easy to install elbows.Let us know how it goes, thanks, Mark
