I have changed the gas charged the battery pulled the plugs cleaned them, sled will not start, any ideas maybe starter relay, bad starter, ...........
 

If its not starting but turning over trust me change the plugs,my sled rn fine I parked it and then it wouldn't start,It would backfire run like #*$&@ for like 20 secs then stall out,If there is nothing coming out such as the dash then its your starter relay
 
change the plugs then go from there,2 strokes can fun with fouled plugs but not 4 strokes,They dont run at all. I am willing to bet if you put fresh plugs in it she will fire up
 
If the dash comes on when you turn the key and the motor turns over but doesn't run, its not getting spark or it's not getting fuel. If the lights come on and the motor doesn't turn over, check the relay. Theres three things to start with.
 
Mine ran a week ago, started hard but warmed up and I took it for a few laps around the yard. Got on it pretty hard and everything seemed good. Few days later I went to load it in the trailer and it turned over forever, no codes. Finally started, popped and farted for a few seconds then shut off. No codes. Restarted and it did the same thing, almost sounded like 2 cylinders. I figure bad gas is the root cause, then fouled a plug, or 2, or 3 from turning it over trying to start it. Fresh 93, StarTron, and new plugs for tomorrow, we'll see.
 
If I had to guess I'd say its a sticky fuel relay. Are you getting a engine light and a code when you turn the key on???? had this happen first time out this year. Put my hand on the relay warmed it up a bit and it started rite up. Very common. Relay location and codes is posted as a sticky on the top of the forum.
 
if you hear the fuel pump charge and if it fails to turn over its the starter relay...if you dont hear the fuel pump charge its the fuel relay....remove and take inside to a warm environment and turn upside down ....maybe a hair drier to dry out the moisture that causes this...

not fool proof but I covered mine with outerwears material and never had a problem...
 
Had a sililar problem with mine if the dash lights up but the fuel pump dosnt run check your ignition switch plug.... i chased this for three days and found the plug was not making enough contact to crank the sled over or charge the fuel pump make sure that connection is tight i used a zip tie around the connector to make sure it stays connected...

my sled would light up the dash but no feul pump or cranking....

hope this helps

Not to hijack the thread but my Nytro is doing the same thing. I'm sure I fouled the plugs. I'm going to change the gas and the plugs tonight. But I was told if you foul the plugs really bad that you have to change the engine oil cause fuel gets in it. I think that is bs but I want to confirm.
