1997 SX 700 starting

[ski_doo1200]

I have a 1997 Yamaha SX 700 that is a pain in the @ss to start. Carbs cleaned, new and adjusted choke cable, but still takes 30 pulls or more and maybe even different plugs to get going. No idea what is wrong.

Could this be a fuel pump issue? Thing is, when it's running, she seems to run strong and go like a raped ape - when it's running.

Thanks,
Jim.

check your enrichment plungers and make sure there working properly

When mine did that it wasn't long until the stator needed to replaced

Is the check valve in the fuel line?
