Ever have trouble strating your sled after draining the tank?

[Fro]

Been sitting awhile. Clean the carbs...drained the tank completely & added fresh gas. I know from before this takes a long time to crank over...I bet I pulled it 50 times & nothing. Put a squirt of mix in the cylinders & runs till she burns out. Did this like 10 times...still no go.

Got a better way to get things primed???

Have the same problem after cleaning the carbs. I use a blow gun and rag. Use the rag to make a temp gas cap.Insert blow gun and squeeze a bit of compressed air in. Hold that for a few seconds. The fuel bowls will fill up and it usually starts on the first pull with full choke.

choke working????? properly.........

haha, when i rolled my sled it took 10 minutes of pulling before the pain started. must have pulled 30-40 times.

My experience with hard start after roll-over is due to flooding. Holding the throttle wide open when cranking will help get it lit sooner.

The technique Stein mentioned should work for you. I ahve used that technique many times after cleaning out old gas from the sled's tank. Just go easy on how much pressure you apply to the tank!!
