13 Pro 800 Stalling

[andus]

I started my sled today to load it into my truck. It idles fine and I let it warm up to 91F. When I squeeze the throttle to try and move the sled it moves a couple inches and then wants to stall. If I don't let go the throttle it shuts off. At first I thought maybe the engine wasn't warmed up enough so I left it idling a while longer and tried again when it was at 120F. Still doing the same thing.
We had a very mild day on Wednesday and today it's -16 (-27 wind chill) and the sled wasn't started yesterday. Is it possible I have ice in my fuel? I already changed the plugs and still have the issue.

Seems it was ice in my fuel lines. I poured half a bottle of anti-freeze in the tank, let it idle for a few minutes, and I was good to go. Indoor storage from now on!

Sounds to me like the throttle switch is frozen. There is a switch on the throttle that is set up to kill the sled if the throttle gets stuck open. Either melt the sled off or wiggle the throttle flipper to break the ice off. The pin that holds the flipper in place should be able to move in and out freely to activate the switch in the throttle block. Usually if you wiggle it you can get it moving freely again.
