Got a question for you guys. I have a 02' SRX, took it around they block a couple of weeks ago, it was running perfect. Then it sat it the back yard for two weeks. I started it up yesterday, let it warm up 5 min, and when i gave it a shot of throttle , it reved up for a second or two, and the it stopped and the motor came down to 3000rpm and stayed they as if they was a rev limiter. Now if i would have continued squeezing the throttle, it would bounce between 2900 and 3000. This didn't happen every time, if i squeezed full throttle and kept the revs up, the sled ran perfect. To me this is clearly and electrical issue, not fuel, and not clutching. This Sled has the DCS and i wondered if bad fuel could be an issue and the CDI was cuttting back the rpm's, or is the CDI shot?

Any help would be apprieciated, MIKE
 

First off, did you clean them carbs before your two weeks ago ride...duh!!!if not you got sh*t in them carbs...OR...if you were smart & did clean them than its just a mater of adjusting your throttle free play...if not than that crap in your carbs is activating your tors system...open float, hanging slides...throttle cable kinked or will not return into carb rail...look at a service manual...
 
TORS switch, either its wet down on the carb rack or it is sticking,your throttle cable can be too toight as well setting it off. Take and spray some wd40 on it, its located right under the idle screw on carb rack.
 
Yep that's what happens. Like Don said it's the TORS. You can unplug it and plug the wires back into themselves (carb wires to carbs and sled wires to sled... you don't have to plug the carb wires into eachother... it just helps keep dirt out of the connections) or take it and set it in a heated garage for a day or two and let the switch dry out. You shouldn't have any problems with it. If you ever have problems with it... probable causes are a frozen or malfunctioning switch, too tight of throttle cable, etc. It's just a safety measure that ensures if the throttle gets stuck wide open without the actual throttle lever being pressed, the sled will retard timing to the point where it revs below clutch engagement... so you don't end up with a totaled sled.
