Sounds like the ground wire to the fuel pump has rubbed through on the frame and fried the fuel pump driver transistor. You will need a new ecu to fix that . About 50 bucks on ebay. More from the dale suppliers.

The injector is an easy check. Disconnect the electical connector to it and turn it on . If its still spraying then the injector is mechanically stuck open. If that stops it then the ecm is grounding the wire or it is shorted to ground. The injectors have 12 volts to them at all times but the ecm ground the coils to make them open.
The fuel pump circits can also be damaged by someone messing with the terminals with a wrench without disconnecting the weatherpack connectors. Shorting a wrench on the terminals will fry the ecm that way also.

The difference between cannibals and speeds are many.
Cannibals had red ,black,or silver plastic with the usa graphics kit. black front shocks ,fox rears,steel bars,with a plastic key switch cover, black seat,
Speeds had a yellow color sceme with gripper seats. Ohlins front shocks ,tag bars,yellow grips. holeshot tires,the steering stems had a mount on them for a steering dampener, steel keyplate with provision for a pingle kill switch,

Those are some of the basics.

I traded for a 440 cannondale yesterday and don't no anything about these. The problem with the quad is the fuel pump runs at all times and as soon as you turn on the key the fuel injector on the right stays open spraying fuel. Does anyone have any ideas on this issue? Also how do you tell the difference in the cannibal and the speed? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, I will give it a try.

Do you think that would also cause the injector to stay stuck open also?
