Never had this happen before........

My SIL left his 06 Apex RTX up here since my sled is STILL in the shop......hasn't been moved since a week yesterday......so I went to start it this morning and it fired right up.......but then half way through warm up it "choked down" and now just sputters when trying to fire......

Simply flooded itself or do you think it fouled plug(s)?

I know these plugs are an absolute blue biotch to change compared to replacing the ones on my RX-1 or 06 Nytro.......

I'm kinda thinking along those lines......thought I might add some fresh non-ethenol to it tomorrow and see what happens.......I REALLY don't want to change those farking plugs...........

Sounds like ice in fuel to me.

Put the sled in a warm place or take a hair dryer to the fuel lines etc.

Or put some isopropyl to it, shake, cycle the fuel pump a few times & let sit for 20 minutes or so.. [May or may not work]

Chances are it will start with one of the above procedures.

Doesn't sound crazy at all.....I thought about that but it still spins as fast as "normal" at least to my ear.......

FYI......it was just the plugs.........3 were soaking wet......one appeared pretty black.......it's now got a whole new set of CR9EIX.......I had them in my tank bag on the RX-1.......
