Out of gas, and now won't start

2008 Rhino 700 - was running like a top then ran out of gas. Filled it up, and now it won't start. Engine turns over just fine, but won't fire. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

it takes a while to suck up gas again. Keep trying but it should fire back up shortly, also you might want to check your fuel filter it might of sucked up some crap at the bottom of the tank. thats just my thoughts.

A fuel injected engine will be a bitch to start when its run dry. Make sure its as full of gas as you can get it and keep trying, but watch your battery. The fuel filter I believe is inside the fuel injection unit inside the tank which will not be easy to get to.

X2 and the fuel filter (or what they call the filter) is in the bottom of the tank. Disconnect the fuel line at the throttle body and put the hose in a bucket, then turn the key on and off to see if you have fuel.

I just ran mine out of gas and I sucked up a bunch of crap from the bottom of the tank. Replace your fuel filter just for good measure.,....

thanks for the help - I pulled the fuel line, and it's pumping plenty of gas, pulled the sparkplug - and I have spark, but it was a bit dirty, so I'll replace the sparkplug this weekend. No error codes on the display at all. Anyone know of a good replacement sparkplug for the 700?

Thanks again
