I am Riding up in Grand Lake, Colorado and am loving every minute of it. I have noticed a small problem though. everytime I shut the sled off to take a break, it takes a few pulls to get it re-fired. Sometimes it'll take 7/8 pulls if it sits for like 20 minutes. When the sleds cold, it fires up 2/3 pull everytime so I don't understand why its doing that???
 

I would check your plug caps first of all.They do need replacing after a while and will cause harder starting.Switch plug caps from another sled first and see if you can
 
How do i know exactly if the plug gaps need replacing. Will they be cracked and weathered??

NO.....Sometimes they will look just fine and are bad. Test them with an ohm meter. Any thing higher than 5 for resistance is bad.

they just go,usually there is a resister in them..A lot of guys have solved their major issues with just changing the plug caps.

Give it 1/4 throttle when starting warm and report back.
Happens to me after every break. Starts 1st pull everytime but once it's been shut down its 3rd pull at 1/4 throttle.
