I was hoping someone could give me a few ideas on what could be wrong with my sled. It cold starts awesome 2 pulls and is running. When you shut it off after a ride I can't start it again till it is cold(level ground). I pulled the carbs off and cleaned them (not dirty at all). I had the motor rebuilt from the crank up last spring. Please help its hard to ride when you can't shut off your machine.
Thanks

Spark is good hot or cold. It is like it floods its self. If you hold the throttle open it will fire and try to run otherwise you can pull and pull with no hope.

may sound stupid but I've seen guys over look this before do you have heated carbs? if the valve is open it'll be a huge pain to start when warm
