Hello, new to sleds but I’ve been working on engines a while.
I’ve got a carbureted 2002 mountain cat 800 that absolutely will not start when cold or if it’s been sitting for a day. If I put some gas down the spark plug hole and put it back together it will start right up and runs fine. After that it will start just fine first pull all day long.
I bought the sled this way and the previous owner said he had the carbs rebuilt and it didn’t fix it. I also pulled the carbs apart and cleaned them, they looked clean and new. I even inspected the reeds and couldn’t see anything wrong. I don’t know much about reeds so I don’t know if you can see when they are bad. There were no cracks or worn spots though.
Any suggestions on how/where to attack this problem?
