Hey all, new here and needing some advice after some serious frustrations with my SRX. I've read many TY posts on starting issues but none are quite like mine.
Anyway, bought the sled running perfectly, about 147psi on all three, and no starting issues whatsoever. Around the end of October (3 months now) is the last time it ran and now it won't even fire without premix down the cylinders. I went out and bought six spark plugs thinking I'd fouled them all up... no results. I thought I'd run it out of gas and so I put in some fresh 93 octane; again, not enough a sputter. I then went ahead and pulled the carbs and found three clogged pilot jets, and I thought I'd found my issue along with a cracked fuel line I replaced. Everything reassembled again and... just as bad as before. Not even a cough without fuel down the cylinders at full choke. Can old gas affect more than just carb jets? Should I go ahead and order a fuel pump? It must be fuel system related but... could a pump just die in a few weeks of not being started?
I've been riding my dad's Polaris 800 Pro S a little too often. Getting frustrated with not being able to ride my SRX, I sold a perfect '95 Vmax 600 to get it that idled and ran like new. Wishing I had that old tank of a sled at the moment. Thanks.
