So today we finally got some snow. I started my sled and loaded on the trailer with no issues. Brought it to a buddy's house to add risers before our ride today. I back it of the trailer into the garage without any issues or signs. Add the risers and the powermadd throttle kit once this was done I wanted to check the carbides so I tipped the sled with the throttle side down to check the left ski after I did this I let it down and tried to start the sled but had no luck. Long story short is added riser extended throttle cable and turned sled on its side. Now it won't start at all. It turns over both plugs are clean with spark and gas reaching them. Battery is good and keeps turning it over. The display tells me to check key if I hold the starter button down long enough but if I check the key it does nothing.

Please help I'm lost. Any ideas.

Sorry for long story

are your carbs open now?? since you added the throttle extension and may have tightened it to much???

shot in the dark but i kinda pinched a wire n ended up lettin it rub n short out on my 600 etec from puttin the wires off to the side instead of runnin em center n ziptyin it to the steering post and it shorted out my RER button n blew a fuse, i know you didn't short out that wire but it could be somethin worth checkin, i'd check out all the wires n connections that ya messed with from the bars to behind the dash and make sure everything is tight n nothing got beat up n shorted anywhere, i kinda doubt thats the problem, but it might be worth checkin.... and yeah like robbob said u might check ur carbs/throttle cable, anyways good luck hope ya get er figured out soon

If ur getting fuel and carbs aren't sticking open, check for spark! I'd check wires from kill switch and to key seeing dash says check key. Good luck

What's the easy way to see if my carbs are stuck open. How can I do that? Also when I try to start it if I give it throttle it almost sounds like its bogging down, I think that means the carbs aren't stuck right.

I am getting spark too.

I checked three to four fuses on the battery side and all were fine. Any other fuses I should look for? I'm beginning to think it may be something like a fuse or wiring.

Was also thinking seeing as I probably held the throttle down about thirty times while adjusting do you think it could be flooded?

check and see if the tether is on all the way.

I appreciate it, I actually brought it in to the dealer today. I'll keep everyone posted on the fix.

Dealer called, the throttle cable was complete stretched and pulled out. They are replacing it with a longer cord.

Thanks for all the help.
