yesterday was a beautiful sunny day..like -5 c and I was riding.Today blowing snow and high winds and wind chills over -40 and white out..has some snow also.BEWARE Northern Ontario..its coming your way.....just removed my carbs today on SRX and cleaned them,sync'd them..was off as little.Took 61 pulls to get her started up with dry carbs.. :o| .Lately it has been getting more difficult to start..instead of 3 or 4 pulls..16 to20 pulls...something is up here..
 

mine starts in 4 pulls after cleaning carbs. Viper i just cleaned, 1st pull & running. I was surprised at that one.
 
I had the carbs off and the gas lines were just sitting there staring at me..so I took the pull rope and pulled a few times..no gas coming out..makes me go hmmmmmmmmmm!! But once it runs..should be half decent..maybe...sometimes..
 
I put a bit of gas down the cylinders after pulling the carbs... engine fires up and pulls its own gas to fill the bowls. makes life alot easier.
 
I always pull the gas cap off and blow into it. act like a primer and I can usually start a sled from dry in about 3-4 pulls.
 
When I cleaned my carbs this year sled started first pull just ran with choke for few seconds before all three started hittin together. I will also add that as pethetic a riding season as Ive put in my sled will sit for at least 2 weeks and I only have to pull it 4-6 max and she lit. I really still feel that replacing the stator a few years really made all the difference in the world.

X2 - I add gas to the cylinders after carb cleanings and on the first start of the season. Starts a little on 1st pull, then stays running after 3 pulls.

Way better than 40 pulls on a cold SRX motor!!
 
took out the 600 today and did some vertical hill climbs..almost didn't make it on 1 run and nearly rolled sled... :o| .Nothin like going straight up vertical and hit the top peak..blast snow all over you and hope to land her and then pin it so as not to go backwards.Something about it doesn't make sense(rolling machine and crushing ones body)..but it is cool...lol.Since last weekend..the 600 started in 1 pull only..always did start good this sled.
