Well i finally got the beast out on the snow this weekend. After a face lift. Sled worked great, but hard to start. Stone cold ( first in the am.) its a hard pull but will fire up in 5-6 pulls but have to have the throttle cracked. Hot starts 1-2 pulls easley again with the throttle cracked. Let it cool for 10- 15 mins. and almost no way to start it. fuel presure comes up to about 30psi when cranking. It acts like you just can't pull the rope hard or fat enough, It will start if you lucky. Any help would be great! Gary
Hard starting t-975
- Thread starter machineman
- Start date
Try turning the fuel pressure up. You should have 40- 45 psi at idle.
Pressure is 40# at idle much more than that it starts to run fat on the bottom. However I will try it any way. Thanks Gary
gary..
have you set the TPS recently?
if you have to crack the throttle, you might have the plates in the throttle bodies closed too much...or you could have lost the spring the keeps the tension between the plates? or even the set screw?...worth a look at least.
what about a bad capacitor? have you tested that recently?
when you pull the pull cord, it charges the capacitor and inturn supplies power to the fuel pump to pump fuel...when you ride the sled, it charges the cap and therefore its easier to start when warm...
just some thoughts..
send me some pics of the sled when you get time, would love to see it...

I'm surprised Sean didn't tell you to have your buddy pull on it. That way when the start handle stays in your hand, you can have your other buddy start it off the clutch.
HAHAHA...yeh thanks for that dave, LOL...no worries buddy...i felt like having it re-wound anyways, LOL...
Sounds like there is another Guidoxpress story that we haven't heard yet...lol
You have no idea how many stories there are...
