Hey guys. Im just starting to wrap up my summer project. Yesterday I fired up my sled to check out the sound of the undertunnel exhaust I just finished up. Then I wanted to drain all the gas that was in the tank just to get some fresh gas for the season coming up.

I took the sled filled her up and now when I go to start it I get nothing. The starter is crancking but thats it. No sort of noise from the exhaust, its just cranking over.

If I pull the two lines from the tank, the hoses are empty, not a drop of gas comes out. I tried blowing into the vent tube and that didnt seem to do the trick.

Please help me figure this out!!!
 

I got it running. Now when it idles it seems to idle very high about 3k rpm.
there also flames coming form the glasspack muffler I had just put on. and when I give the sled a tiny blip of the throttle it just does a small backfire and pops. Please help me out.


EDIT:
Had none of these problems before draining the old gas?
 
You have a major exhaust leak.

I cant tell if you had it running good with the new muffler and then drained the gas or wanted to drain teh gas first?

Otherwise it sounds like its lean. I would make sure the fuel pumps are primed correctly. May mean disconnecting the gas lines again and blowing into the vent tub about 4 times till the tank is bellowed out and while holding the pressure in there try to start again and see if its better.
