Having to hold the throttle to start my Fuse

[CPearce]

As seasons go buy my sled is not starting on one and two pulls like it used to in its primal age. I have noticed that as winter seasons go by I am having to pump the throttle to get the fuse started. Is there something I can do to fix this or prevent this from getting worse or is this a direct correlation that my sled is becoming geriatric and I have to give it a boost of gas?

the first thing to check is your tps, possible off causing starting issues. how does it idle and run after starting?

fuel pressure could also be low or the capacitor can be getting weak.

also is this after warm or during cold start?

my cold start takes 3 pulls every time as do the other 2 9's in our group, one pull after warm with no throttle.

After the sled starts it idles fine at recommended 1400 (+/- 50) and it runs great. So didn't think it was the TPS. I changed the fuel filter this summer but from reading other posts I thought after you pull recoil 'x' amount of times it would come back to proper fuel pressure. I guess not.

When its cold it probably takes 4 - 5 pulls put I dont have to hold the throttle to get it started. When its warm, I need to pump the throttle to get it started. I would like to get my sled started just like you and your crew.

Where is the capacitor located on the sled? I found it on the part scheme under the electrical page (Part No. #4011114 - PolarisPartsPitStop), but it doesn't look familiar.
