mine starts first pull every time, unless its a wuss pull after digging for 30 min,the prototype I had last april did the same thing are yours is now though, take it to a BRP dealer and have them plug it in to BUDDS.(call first though) I'm not too booked up in service at my shop so.....

Take it o the dealer and get it checked out, The spark plugs are indexed and need to be installed and torqued properly and if they are not you'll experiance hard starting
