E-tec wont start WTF

[SaskSummit]

Like it says wanted to throw it in the garage for the night we are leaving tomorrow for Valemount.
It is -26 and it is hard to pull over? I will drag it on the garage I guess and change the plugs?
Anyone else have this issue? Is it because it is to cold? Its a snowmobile. The 09 started 2 pulls. Not impressed.

Most sleds are pretty hard to pull over at -26? Don't rule out a bad plug though.

Maybe try wiggling the dess key sometimes they are finicky

Even with the dess key in the wrong position it should start. Check the obvious like the kill switch.

Checked all of the above. I just parked there on Sunday? Must be to cold i will drag it in and leave it for 4-5 hours and see what happens.

If youre changing plugs make sure to index them correctly

 

[SaskSummit]

Ya that's what the dealer told me. Also said it takes 2 hours to change plugs. Does it realy take that long.

I cant imagine, but I've never had to do it on a new etec, the plugs look fairly easy to access...

Good luck! hope things work out for ya, nothing worse than dealing with issues right before heading out on a trip.

let it warm up it will be fine. if its that cold they need a really good tug to start. which is hard to do. so if you dont get a good pull to make it fire it will flood out

 

[maxwell]

they are easy to change with the proper tools but i just cant remember what those are lol. just be carefull because they now go into the head on an angle and are easy to crossthread

 

[SaskSummit]

Thanks will drag it in an see.

^^this. My buddy and I went to go out when it was around that temp. Could barely pull it over and would not start. Threw a heater on it for awhile and it started up. It will start when its that cold, but its the crappy small pulls you give it at the start that flood it and its a real pig after that.

 

[SaskSummit]

Well I am sure it is flooded now. Had to get the Boys Ptec to pull in the Etec. They we sitting side by side.

Just wondering if you park outside all winter, maybe that water recirc heater kit ( whatever its called ) might be worth looking into..
