Hi All,
I'm New to this forum, lots of good info.
I have an 02 SRX that I'm having a small issue with that I couldn't really find in other threads.
When riding, the engine feels flawless, the issue is that from time to time (maybe once a day) when I come to a complete stop and the engine idles down, she just cuts out like I hit the kill switch. Once this happens, I can pull until my arm falls off, with and/or without choke, and she won't budge. Just 3 nights ago, I went for a ride to the store and this time she idled down fine and I hit the kill switch, but when it was time to go, again pulled and pulled with and without choke but the only thing that helped was letting it sit for 10-15 minutes.
If I let it sit for about 15 minutes, she fires right up like nothing ever happened and goes without even a hiccup for the rest of the ride.
I've used some dry gas, eliminated the TORS as a possible source. Good spark in all 3 during this dead period too. I don't remember this happening last season though. I did clean the carbs at the beginning of this season.
Also, this is my second season on my first sled and it appears to burn more gas than I think is reasonable, how would I gauge the burn rate for fuel, what's good and what's bad.
Would like to be able to go on deep rides without the paranoia that she will leave me sit 15 miles from the nearest road...
Thanks for any advice.
