Hard starting 800 e tech

[LoneViper]

This fall I bought a new 2012 Summit SP 800 E tech the sled has progressed through the break in mode and now runs like a top. Problem, it starts easy when cold but can be a bear when it's hot and occasionally will back fire through the muffler. my older sleds start easly with a partial pull on the rope. Not this guy. I may add it is completly stock.

I've done the search thing and read all that I can on the problem with no answers. Has anyone else experianced anything like this? I know all about warranty ect just wondering if anyone has come across the same problem so I had some idea what I may be dealing with.

Thanks in advance.

This is a common problem with all ETECs.. Your reeds are frayed... Install new reeds and your issues will go away//

So we are thinking at 400 miles my reeds are going bad? Thanks for the input.

Mine went bad at 200..

Does your sled/engine also have a stumble/gurgle at low throttle?

Warranty.

No, the thing runs real crisp just hard to start when it's warm. It's headed for the dealer later this week. I explained the symptmoms to him and he was all over it, weather or not it gets fixed is debatable.

thanks for the input.
