Just wondered if anyone is having any problems with cold starts. About 3 weeks ago my 09 M8 SnoPro began to have trouble getting it started the first time of the day. Had to pull a dozen times before it lit off. For the rest of the day, no problem, fired on first pull. But the next day, first start, same thing.
Sled has 500+ miles and just started this. Previously started on first or second pull like it should. Dealer blamed my Lefty, (pin too tight on flipper) but why did it wait for 500 miles to pinch? Bogus analysis in my opinion.(loosend pin).
Last Sat at Big Sky it took an hour (at 0 degrees) to get it started. Pulled with throttle closed, cracked and open. Zilch. A shot of ether and several pulls it would bang once and thats it. Plugs looked good, pretty dry the first check and wet the second. Finally concluded it was flooded so held throttle WFO and about the 8th pull it tried to fire, couple more pulls and it started. Didnt think they were supposed to flood. No probs the rest of day.
If anyone has had this problem,please respond.
Dealer is faked out but is presently checking it out.
