2010 phazer RTX
Hey guys. I was just running my sled 2010 phazer RTX with less then 4000 kms. Last month ( Oct) and it started right up like it always did. On Tuesday nov 25th I wanted to started and it was a no start... Turned over till the battery was low. So today (nov 27th ) I drag it onto the garage and have the battery all charged up, garage is warmed up but the sled just cranks and cranks and cranks.... Ugh. I can hear the fuel pump prime, but not sounding like it even wants to fire. There is a 1/4 - 1/2 tank of gas. I checked all the fuses.

Anybody have any ideas???
 

new gas, new plugs, battery good enough to turn the sled over fast enough?

Original plugs, fully charged battery cranking at 260-270 rpm as per tack. Gas is not to old, put the fresh lawn mower gas in the sled in the first week of October.
 
I don't think so... Nothing on the main screen or would they be on a different screen??? I've never seen a code on it before.
 
I would try new plugs
Ya, I'll try a shot of gas or starting fluid in the TB's and see if anything then the plugs.
Should I just get stock plugs or is there a better alternative ?

Your in North Bay, some nice riding country there.
 
I would go with the stock plugs.

North Bay has some amazing trails!

Let us know how it goes.
 
Did you by any chance run it without fully warming it up? This has been known to foul plugs. Each time you start it, you have to let it run until the idle comes back down, which means it's out of warmup mode and not injecting extra fuel (i.e. like a choke on a carb).
 
I have an uncle down in the Huntsville area and the riding was out of this world compared to the flat lands here... Lol

When I had started it up that time a while back I had let it run till the over temp light came on, I figured it would've been a good thing for the battery to run as long as possible ( I am guessing a good 20 mins and I was reving it to spin the track and work the clutches).

And here I thought the plugs we're going to last forever since they're buried and impossible to get to on the trail. Lol.
