Attak will not start

I could also see the relay blowing the fuse...sort of like how a plugged pump will draw too much amperage and blow a circuit breaker.

I was up in canada this weekend and a similar problem. I started the sled up let it warm up and rode maybe 150 feet to breakfast. Came out it wouldn't start. It turned over fine but not one fire. Went and got some gas anti freeze and put some in. Cycled the fuel pump on and off with out starting and heard it pumping a little more each time then as soon as it sounded normal i cranked it. She fired right up and ran with no problems for the rest of the day. It was -20f

Apex GT will not start

Thanks for the information posted. My Apex GT would not start today after an easy start yesterday in a cool 5F. Today, the starter just wore the battery down. I found the posting on this topic and sure enough, I took a hair dryer to the fuel relay switch (left side above your toes) and in less than 5 minutes, the sled cranked up and went!

Has anyone switched the relay out and avoided repeats? I'd hate to have to take it over every night and bring it in.......

Interesting, my Apex cut out while riding 10 below and died suddenly. nothing would work. Turned out to be an ignition fuse was blown, replaced it and blew again. Towed it in, stored all summer, put new fuse in it and can't get it to duplicate problem so I can trace wires for cause. Dealer can't find it either. Hope all it was just a relay sticking and not a short somewhere. Would a fuel pump relay trip ignition fuse??

try to heating up the 4 relays who is behind the black plastic in front of yours left knee. one of them is to the fuelpump. this could freese and stopp the fuel pump.

Spoke to a buddy today and said something about "vapor lock?" something about gas turning to vapor at low temps?



Vaper lock is when gas turns to vapor when it is to hot, NOT to cold. and it will not do this with fuel ingection because it is under presure but it will do this on carb modles if it is over heating.

WRONG! Vapor lock can and DOES occur in fuel injected motors just as easily as carbbed ones.

Vapor lock is when the fuel in your carbs turns to vapor because the carbs are to hot. This does not happen with fuel injection.

WRONG! Vapor lock can and does happen in FI engines as well as carbbed ones.

Considering this post is 13 years old, let's hope they came to that conclusion as well.
