2007 800R WILL NOT START after warm

[Midwest Summit]

I can start it cold although is takes 5 to 6 pulls instead of 2 to 3, but once it is warmed up, I have to pull like 15 to 20 times to get it to fire. Its like it is getting no spark. I have new plugs, didn't change a thing. It will not go into reverse and just stalls or if after the forth time I get it into reverse it stalls going back to forward.

I have had this sled for 4 years and until this winter it has been great to start and never ever exhibited this condition. Once I get it running, it goes like a bat out of hell, but turn it off and it may not start. Do the non-electric starts have a capacitor to help with initial spark? and to help with going into reverse and back by giving auxilulary juice when the engine temporarily stops to reverse????

My battery is also very dead. Tried to re-charge but will not accept charging. Could this be putting a draw on the system? When I had jumper cables to another battery, it would start right up with e-start. I also notice I have the pull the rope as fast as possible to start manually. All fuses in the engine are good.

I am going out west in two weeks and need to correct this problem,

Try replacing the battery first. That should fix it.

Do a hot compression check first.My sled acted like this after 2200 miles and had only 80 psi compression.Replaced pistons 1200 miles ago still ripping good.So i always tell people to check that compression first to check motor condition.Do it aftrer it's warmmed up 2.

X2!! Try that first. There's a different wiring connector used for electric start models.
Put E-start on my 06 Summit and had to change the connector for it to work. Tried to start it with the pull rope because the battery was dead. Took a bunch of pulls without the battery to get it started as well.

Might try this. Hook up a battery charger and see if it starts using the rope with less pulls???

If that doesn’t work? Check the compression as mentioned.

Put a new battery in and it starts like a champ. Hot or cold. If your battery is totally dead or has a shorted plate (like mine) it will be very hard to start by the rope.

What if you just unhooked the batt altogether?
