600 sdi starting issues
- Thread starter captain x
- Start date
Never hurts to try a fresh set of plugs, NGK BR9-ECS is what we use. Just make sure there the one's gapped at .032 I believe the box # is 4677 ( NGK also makes this plug with an .018 gap for earlier carb models). These plugs are not to have the gaps changed...good luck

The 600ho sdi uses an NGK BR8ECS plug. I would try fresh gas first and then if you are still having problems, look into the injectors. Can you hear your electric fuel pump build pressure and then shut off? Maybe you have a weak fuel pump...just a thought.
Hows the battery, they are not easy to start when the battery starts going bad.
The 600ho sdi uses an NGK BR8ECS plug. Agreed, you can run the 8's also if you are having fouling issues or idle around a lot. The 9's work for me, we run em pretty hard, plus I can buy em by the box and share the same plug with my P'tech...
Any more thoughts?
It was doing better with frsh plugs......fresh gas...battery charged.....ect.
Started acting up agian.....the sled sat on a down hill slope for about 5 min....took me 15 or more pulls to start it....on the flat it was not that bad.
Does this sound like the fuel pump?.....I was going to order one....but hate to replace it if that is the the problem.
THANKS AGAIN

X2, you would not believe how much the battery plays a role in these sleds. I run a new one every other season also. it can affect starting, how the sled idles almost everything on these. I would try a brand new battery if you are still running the stock 06' one first and see if that helps your problem. Also like dieseldog800 said check your fuel pump.
Generally the fuel pump either works or it doesn't.
Make sure you give it a little throttle when pulling it over. The revs like that.

The sdi don't. I hate to harp on(yes dear) but my wifes 06 sdi has never taken more than one pull when warm, or two pulls when cold ever, and I mean ever, unless the battery was weak.

Hey captain x, did you get it working again?
I paid $42 from Batteries Plus for a Yuasa as a replacement. Local dealer wanted over $60 if I remember right.
You guys can sure get batterys cheap! I think my new one was arond 100$ from the local auto store last month.
