Just back from a snowmobile trip up in northern wisconsin it was cold all week about -20 most of the week. On my last day I was running my SRX really hard when all of the sudden I lost power in one of my cylinder, so I stop and looked at the plug it was really wet so I put new plugs in it and nothing changed so I nursed it home for about 50 miles on two cylinders. I think I did more harm than good. It well set and idle but sounds ruff it has no power at all I think its barley runing on 2 cylinders need help on where to start. Is this going to be I big overhaul and would it be worth to put the big bore kit in it or not.
 
Before compression test, check throttle cable. If it is sticking the throttle override sensor will mess with the firing sequence. Happened to mine this spring, after putting on bar riser and taking the air box out and yanking on the cable it got frayed and was sticking. I thought it was eating plugs. Easy fix - new cable - 20 bucks.
 
I did It doesnt look good I need to get a better compression gauge the one I have sucks it doesnt give me a accurate reading.
 
can you get consistent readings w/your comp gage on the same cylinder? just keep using your gage right now....what your looking for is 1 cylinder that's way lower than the other 2 cylinders.
 
thats terrible,,find another gauge and test.

are you testing with the throttle open? 5-6 good pulls??
 
bad... but al least they are all close to one another... kinda... how many miles? mine reads 140ish cold. do you do yearly maintenence and oil changes?
 
Oil change

oil change? its a two stroke

I change mine to..everytime I fill up ;)!
 
i've had the bolt that connects to the slide in the rail work lose and not pull the slide up when you push the throttle. pull the 3 caps off and make sure they are pulling the slide up.
