Purchased recently, started & ran fine. Then went to pull start it, it would not go. Noticed snow go into the intake (The foam at the top of the air box is missing). Then it started and sputtered.
What I did recently before problems started
1. Changed out the ignition switch, brown wire first, then black wire next - never disconnected the battery.
2. Put in fresh gas.
What I checked after reading forums
1. The battery idle and underload is 12v. The ECU flashed a 14 code.
2. I ohmed out the temp sensor and it was 8.7. No broken wires to temp sensor, checked for continuity - good
3. Looked for any loose or broken, corroded wires anywhere
4. I assume no snow should go into the airbox, removed airbox and cleaned out the snow. Now I know for sure it should not be open - have covered it to not let anymore snow in.
5. I definitely flooded it with gas and snow. The pump works strong.
What I would like to know is - what damage has been done to the motor? and...How do I get the snow/water and excess gas out?
Seeking help as I am new to liquid cooled and EFI!
