thats a wierd one, lots of fuel, no kill switch or tether problem, does it have spark? possible dead short. or gremlin.

try unplugging the ecu and plugging it back in...

how many miles on sled?

fresh fuel?

if you have spark and you have fuel it should start, always check the easiest things first

dont buy any electrical parts unless your sure as they are none returnable

good luck

If the previous tips don't help, I'm just thinking that maybe you got some snow/ice into your air box/vents. Just by the way you said you stopped for a while after riding. Possible that the snow/ice had a chance to freeze up while the engine was off. I had it happen to me after riding in some deep powder. Is the sled in a heated garage?

If you just unplug it, you should be able to tell, but it sounds like it could be the ECU
