2006 RS Venture code 84

[rodehard]

After letting the sled sit all summer I tried starting it last weekend. I did the blow in the vent tube routine; still no start. Then I shot a little starting fluid in one cylinder and got it to fire. More blowing in the vent tube and I got it to run.

It has a code 84 and runs rough. If you give it throttle it will either die or backfire. I put stabil in it at the end of the season. The battery is fully charged and I have tried overriding the TORS at the handlebar connection.

I thought I would drain the gas and put fresh gas in, replace the plugs and then put a little seafoam in the tank. Am I going the right way or should I just take it into the dealer?

I have the same sled. Two years this happened to me. I tried the sea foam treatment and it worked. If it does not you will have to clean the pilot jets. I just bought a rage and I had to clean them. Keep us informed.

check to make shore your throttle cables are seated correct i had that code and my throttle cable was not seated at the carbs. i lent on it and it pulled out

Did you use the red or green stabil in it?

 

[rodehard]

I'm not sure which stabil I used and the cables seem fine. I drained the gas and put acouple of gallons of regular gas in . I then changed the plugs and added a little seafoam. Coward that I am I did not tear apart the carbs. I took it in to the dealer and should have the forensic report in a few days.

this i why i will only use seafoam!! i put stabil in my snow blower and the MF'er was a bitch to get started the other day. ended up draining the fuel and cleaning the carb. put in fresh gas and all is well again. glad i put seafoam in my sleds they both fired up and are running like they should.

Further news. The problem was in the TORS. I put a 2" riser in the handlebars 2 years ago and the throttle cable went out of adjustment now? Go figure.

Anyway, the dealer adjusted the cable and everything is fine. I pick the sled up tonight. This goes down in history as the cheapest trip to the dealer I ever had.
