Here's a clip of me trying to start it now...Any ideas of what the issue is? Sled started/ran fine the other day

Just a quick note - Minnesota is in a january thaw right now (34+ degrees), sled was sitting in my garage under a cover, think it could be a humidty issue?

sounds like it's fouled some spark plugs

New plugs will fix her up!

You bet.....everyone that has heard that noise.....knows about plug foul....lol

no start

I'm not hearing the fuel pump cycle, swap your relays to see if your problem disappears. Relays are postioned just above your left foot when seated.

if it is flooded to clear it out apply the throttle to wide open and keep it at wide open then turn the key on to start this will turn the fuel off to the injectors then it should start after turning over do not turn over for more the 15 seconds as the starter will get hot let it cool for 15 minutes and retry For EFI only

Can anyone actually confirm that the sled's logic allows this generally accepted 'clear flood' mode that autos use? This is the second time I've seen this referenced recently and I find it odd it's the first time this has come up.

That is flooded. It's trying to start.............you can hear it fire..........like previously said hold the throttle wide open and crank it. Once it fires pump it too clear it.

Awesome help guys, big thanks!!

The guy I bought the sled from talked to a Yamaha rep and suggested the plugs could be bad as well, he's sending me new plugs for free, it's nice to know some sellers can still be responsible after the sale..
