2008 Phazer Boondocker Hard Start Issue...

[snowmaaan]

Help! We have an 08 Phazer with a boondocker turbo kit, low comp pistons, dual batteries (which are new). The sled runs fine but unless you start it every hour, it will not start without a jump pack. The sled turns over for 20-30 seconds without firing.

Any help or thoughts would be great!

Thanks

How are your batteries wired? Parallel or in a series?

I believe series...one positive is hooked to the other ground. It spins over great...but doesnt fire properly. We hook a battery pack to it and it spins really fast but it takes forever to fire. Once it starts it will start back up...however if you let it set a day it will not fire for a really long time and it wears down the batteries.

Fuel or ignition??

 

[towerrigger]

To eliminate fuel or ignition, once you have been cranking it over and it does not fire, pull one of the plugs and inspect. When you finally get if fired up does it sound like it is has been flooded? If it is a ignition problem it would be full of fuel. I would say it sounds like a fuel problem.Do you have an AFR gauge on it?

you might want to double check your connections if they are 12 volt batterys and you have them hooked up like that than you will have 24volts cant be good for the computer

Thanks guys. We will take your advice and check it out.
When it does fire it runs fine...not like a flooded sled.

To me it seems ignition related. I will pull one plug and spin over to see what spark looks like...

If not that, it must be not getting fuel required to fire the sled (FI issue??)

Thanks!

Disconnect the fuel controller and see if it will fire then. Why dual batteries?

I assume because it starts like x*it! This is my brothers sled he bought from a guy in Idaho...built by boondocker.

We will give that a try!
