Why is gas bypassing the carburater and coming out of the air filter port from engine block on my 01 660 raptor?

usually ,,on the left side of engine ,,follow fuel line from Gas tank to Carb ,,,

Filter may look OK but it's not if it only takes the cover to choke the engine. Check the choke is opening properly and there are no vent restrictions on filter cover.

it,s not getting enough gas, your carburater needs cleaned and there's an mixture screw on most engine's hope this helps

Replace the relay under the hood on the rt.(passenger) fender just in front of the hood shock.

clean the filters on the petcock?

Are you sure that bypassing the fuel filter will solve that problem? I would not recommending doing so. If you bypass the filter then any trash coming in through the fuel will clog the injection ports. And then the car will absolutely not run. Cleaning injection ports are mighty expensive. If you suspect trash coming into the fuel, purchase a few fuel filters... about three. They are not expensive and are realitively easy to replace. If a new fuel filter helps the car run, then great! Just replace it again when the car starts stalling. Eventually, all trash from the fuel will be filtered out.

However, I do not think that a simple filter would effect the idling of the car. The idle can be adjusted, though I do not know how on your specific car. Also, you may have a faulty throttle position sensor.

Possible Causes Corrective actions
Unit will not start Control handle is not engaged Engage control handle
Spark plug wire is disconnected Connect spark plug wire
Fuel tank empty or stale fuel Replace with clean, fresh gas
Blocked fuel line Clean fuel line
Faulty spark plug Replace, clean, or adjust gap
Engine flooded Wait to restart, do not prime
Air filter filled with dirt or debris Replace or clean air filter

Could be you have air or dirt in the petrol filter? This will block any petrol and cause the engine to stop. You may want to invest in some fuel system cleaner.

Check and clean the IAC valve. Idle Control Valve. Use brake cleaner or carburater cleaner . Remove the duct work from the air filter assembly. It is located just inside . Run the engine at 1200 rpms and spray the valve. The valve can also be removed and cleaned.

Sounds like you're running rich.

First, change the air filter, and check that the air intake isn't blocked somewhere.

If that doesn't sort it out, it's the carb. They have an automatic choke (cold start), which could be sticking on and causing problems.

One thing it isn't is the timing belt (sorry Satanscash) as this engine doesn't have one... and even if it did, failure of the belt results in a very dead engine!
