Sled starts right up, but when it shuts off it won't start up again? - Snowmobile Forum: Your #1 Snowmobile Forum

So i just got a 02 mxz 800 and it started like 3rd or 4th pull, and I was just gonna ride around the yard so it was idling and I went inside to get a helmet cam video going. When I came back out it was shut off and it took like 15 minutes of pulling for it to start up again. Then the next day I brought it to my dads and it started right up in a couple of pulls then wouldn't start for like another 15 minutes! What do you guys think?

It may be flooding when it sits. Did you try holding the throttle open when you started it?

Is there a fuel shut off you could use? Did tou pull the carbs and clean them?

What those guys said and try giving it a "little" throttle when starting while warm. I had to do that when I had my Ultra. Barely had to push on the throttle and it would pop right off......
