2013 800 rmk won't start

[aski_2003]

Ran sled last weekend sled ran great, went to start today and it won't start.
Have spark , checked plugs to ecu, those look good. Seem like it's not getting fuel cause it sputters if I shot starting fuel down cylinders. Any ideas what else to check would be great.

try this, put ignition switch and kill switch in the off position..pull over sled a 1/2 dozen times like you are trying to start it, then put both switches in run position and see if it wont fire right up on first or second pull(since there is no battery Polaris uses a capacitor to store energy to run the fuel system when starting, sometimes the capacitor can be drained and you get a no start/no fuel condition..by shutting off the ignition the energy created pulling it over gets dumped to the capacitor...

Thanks sleds in the trailer going to try this when we pull over for fuel

if that doesn't work, I would suspect a iced up fuel line if its cold out, if so figure out a way to get it warmed up, then once thawed add some deicer and run....

Tried turning key and kill switch off and pulling and then turned key on and pulled still nothing. Sled was sitting in heated garage so I don't think frozen lines would be the issue either. Hmmm

Do you have a polaris tether? Try unplugging if so. Also unplug hood harness and try starting. That would eliminate faulty key switch.

sounds like fuel pump isn't working, try unplugging the harness like seth says, then try making a jumper wire setup and use the fuel pump prime connector to run the pump...there is a thread on it in the pro section....

try what Seth said, if that doesn't work, take a flashlight look in the tank and see if the pickup hose is rotted in pieces(common if running certain fuels), if its good, then look in the pro section for the thread on the fuel pump primer connector, then put 12 v power to the connector and prime the pump(use jumper cables and a car battery)..last resort, you can pull the plugs and pour a teaspoon of fuel into each cylinder and reinstall plugs and pull till it fires..keep doing it until the pump picks up fuel...

Possibly flooded hold throttle to the grip and try starting it
