Hello,
I have read through quite a few posts on here and still have not fixed my problem I am having with my sled. When I first pulled it out of storage I pulled and pulled and pulled on the handle and it would not turn over. I pulled the plugs and checked for spark and fouling and everything seemed fine. I put the plugs back in and pulled again and again and no fire up. I then removed the carbs and cleaned them out according to the carb cleaning tips I read on this site. After replacing the carbs and everything else I tried starting again and it would not start. I was told to pump air into the gas tank to get fuel to the carbs and after I did that WALLA it fired up and ran kinda funny for the first few minutes. I stored the sled with about 1/4 tank of gas and added stable to it. When it finally was running again I added sea foam and added about 5 gallons of 93 octane fuel. I took the sled out ice fishing about two weeks ago and everything worked fine until I shut it off. I let the sled sit for about 20-30 minutes and when I went to fire it up again it would not start. I pulled about 8-12 times and finally held the throttle down to get it to start and it did. When I got home the next day I tried starting it and it would not start and since then I have not got the thing to start. I noticed fuel dripping from the exhaust "Y" coming off the motor and when I pulled the plugs and gave it a few yanks on the cord gas was spraying out the heads.
My question is could the floats be stuck on the carbs and be flooding my engine??? what other problems could I have? Is there an actual fuel pump on these 94 Vmax's? any help is greatly appreciated!
