Ok, so after most of a season of basically flawless performance out of the 850 Turbo R motor on my Lynx .... the damn thing literally just keeled over and died on the hill yesterday. I mean, dead in the water won't fire wont start had to tow it back dead.
Tried starting it again today, won't fire .... But I can smell gas? So I don't think its the fuel pump?
This sled typically starts on the first pull and has all season. Till yesterday afternoon.
What I'm noticing is - The sled, at least if I remember right ... would have the 10" gauge fire up if the key was in, the kill switch was set to "OFF" and I pulled my rope ... Now, it doesn't do that. But if I use the SHOT start to turn the gauge on, then try to start it with the rope ... it shuts the gauge off? I don't think it ever did that before?
I guess what I'm getting it as, if the normal mode of operation for the sled is such that you can have your gauge off, kill switch off, pull the rope and that at least turns the gauge on .... Something is apparently hosed in my stator because its not firing up the gauge unless I punch the SHOT button.
Yeah, the sled is under warranty, but I'm still trying to figure out WTF is going on here before I haul it back to the dealer and let them deal with it this week.
Anybody else have this issue with their late-model G4/G5/Lynx?
