Hello All, I'm new to this forum and a new Ski-Dooo owner. I just picked up a new 2005 MXZ Renegade 600 HO SDI. I rode it around the front of my property about 6 times ( less than 1/2 mile) and smelled someting odd . I stopped the sled and saw that there was some white smoke or steam rising from the very front left of the sle. I opened it up to try and locate the ( melting plastic I think) smell and couldn't find the exact location although it was somewhere near the exhaust pipe. I then tried to restart it once (electric start) and nothing. I tried once more and got a big backfire from the right side of the sled. The gas looked very low ( on the red line) so I added some more gas and tried to restart. The engine turned over fine but no ignition whatsoever. I took out the plugs which were wet, cleaned them with carbeurator cleaner and dried them. Then I manually pulled the engine over 20 or so times with the ignition off and plugs still out. I reinserted the plugs and it started right away but ran for only 30-45 seconds. Then it just stopped like it was getting no gas. I did check the plugs and was getting spark. I did this 3 more times with exactly the same results. I also tried venting the tank by opening the gas cap slightly on a couple of tries. This did nothing.
Sorry for the long description but I wanted to provide as much info as possible in order to get help from the board. Does anyon have any ideas how I can bring my new sled back to life. If it did run out of gas did I need to do something special to restart it bacuase of the SDI? Did the backfire kill osmething? Any help much appreciated. thx
