Hey guys and gals. New here, and fairly new to snowmobiles. Just bought a 91 indy 500 classic tonight. Guy dropped it off. Once he left of course I wanted to start it up and play with it.
Since I am new to snowmobiles I didn't notice the kill switch was off. I pulled and pulled and pulled until I was dead tired. Then realized it was off. Flicked it on, put the choke on and pulled a few times. It started up, but didn't want to stay started with the choke on by itself. I held the throttle open a bit to keep it running. Then turned the choke off and started to drive it a few feet. It bogged out and then I noticed fuel pouring from the left side of the sled.
Got it started again and went down the driveway and it bogged out again and I couldn't get it started. Had to tow it back up with the truck.
Did I flood this thing out? If so, what can I do now to unflood it? Do I just need to pull the plugs, and pull it over a few times and then torch the tips of the plugs to dry them out? Sorry very new to this. The guy that I bought it from says the sled ran great, and I know him so I believe him.
Any ideas or suggestions would be great.
Thanks
Dave
