94 sportsman 400 questions

I purches a 1994 polaris sportsman last week . The atv is in great shape, and ot starts and idles and everything. The throttle is kind of boggy until the engine has warmed up so i replaced the air filter, spark plug, fuel filter, took the carb out and cleaned it out, checked the float level and what not. When i was putting the carb back in i realized there was fuel line that goes from the tank and runs to the carb. Does this atv not have a fuel pump? Also all i see is 2 nipples on the carb that where a hose connects to. 1 hear the top, and 1 down by the float bowl. Are those just vent tubes, or does a vacuum line connect to one of those? If there is no fuel pump, and no vaccum lines hooked up the the carb, how does the fuel get to the carb?

Can a Grizzly (660) be towed ?

I am a newby, so please forgive me if I am in the wrong section, and please direct me to where I should be.

Are there any cautions if I, or one of my Yamaha Ultramatic riding buddies, need to be towed a few miles? Can they be towed slowly (say 20 MPH) with a dead stick engine without doing any damage?

Thanks!

Montana deer hunt

I went deer hunting last week in Montana’s Crazy Mountains with my Son and 3 friends. We had a great time, saw lots of deer. No real monsters, but we got some nice bucks. The weather was unseasonably warm. Because of the warm weather, all the processors full, not taking any game. We ended up skinning and quartering all the deer so they would fit in coolers. Then we cut them up and ground the trimmings when we got back home.
