Hey folks tried to start my vk on Friday and was a little cold , choked it and couldn't get it to start . I left it alone , figured it was flooded and tried again yesterday which was much warmer -1.
Well it still wouldn't go it sounds like it wants to go but it backfires now when im trying. I took the battery in which was a little low and charged it fully last night it was showing 10.7 volts on the meter when I was cranking it yesterday. Now battery installed and cranking it and it still won't go. I am thinking maybe plugs are fouled , anyone with any suggestions that might be helpful?

Change the plugs, don't want to leave the choke on too long! Did the sled start fine before this incident ? Was the sled summerized properly ? Could have carbs that are fouled up and require cleaning and synchronized! Cheers!

plus are most likely the problem. also make sure the oil does not smell like gas.
