Hey guys, last ride out sled ran good, played in some snow and stopped for lunch, sled sat for approx a good hour half to 2, long enough for it (once running) to show the low temp light again, it cooled off completely. When I went to start it, it would catch once, didn't fire up but just kept catching, I pulled many times and it did that, I then held the throttle slightly open and it fired right up and no issues again. Perhaps it's a side effect/issue with the new "stop ride" flash? Anybody else had this issue? Thanks!
19 alpha hesitated to start after sitting for a hour

Too long of lunch break keeper pinned.
It can be an injector sticking partially of fully open.
Had a 2020 alpha here that did that. Owner pulled it over 50 times without adding trottle. Engine flooded on one side.
Disconnected fuel pump and kept pulling with wide open trottle. It started after some pulls, and burned out all fuel in the crank case.
Connected fuel pump again and fired up.

Thanks for the info guys, if the fuel injectors were sticking/leaking down wouldn't that cause a hard start in the sense of loss of fuel system prime it would take it a bit to do the one cyl firing kinda thing/ flood/want to fire up? Mine was instant and kept going, but as mentioned a Tad throttle and indtantly it fired and idled normally. Today I went out, sled never sat so long but had a few times it sat for 20 mins at a time and I could tell/sound like it wanted to do the same thing but did fire up still first pull.
