Ive had my m7 since last season this season did a bunch of checking everything over and did clutching got it running right (a couple months ago) anyways since when i got it its ran great and always started by second or 3rd pull if it was cold or when i let it sit or usually like 2nd pull at the most at elevation like after sitting for a while or for lunch. Yesterday i unload it off the trailer (2-3k ft. like always) ride up to a new spot for me (5-6k ft or so) anyways riding fine shut it off once or twice on the way up (hot and the engine light came on (not the code light and not the coolant light but figure it was hot because of the day and no scratchers down) and it did it my 2nd ride out with it last season then grabbed some powder and went away didn't bog or loose power or anything) So anyways shut it off put the scratchers down and grab some powder off the trail watched it the rest of the time didn't come back on so figure its hot i don't know why the coolant/temp light didn't come on but that's what happen that once before. Anyways keep riding all day its going great climbing and tree riding having a great time stop at the cabin sleds pointed (down hill which it usually is when i stop) and had a hell of a time starting it after sitting maybe 20 mine or a bit more for lunch usually 2 pulls max but it was a good 10-15 pulls finally with a bit of throttle it started so i said ill watch it or look for lights nothing no bogs or lights and runs fine screaming like it should so climbing then stopped and it started fine a couple times stopped for 5-10 mins started fine again in like flat down hill sideways etc. etc. so stop at the cabin again pointed down hill for 10 mins or so had a hard time starting it same again. Then end of the day it was still running fine i started it fine a couple times after that when i stopped real quick but last climb of the day i highmarked my buddy and sidehilled out his sidehill washed out and he dug in so i shut the sled off and walk across the hill a ways probably gone from my sled 10-15 mins come back its pointed down hill it wont start probably close to 10 pulls and a bit of throttle it started. I'm going to keep a eye on it friday and/or saturday when i go out. Its never done it before but i mean i don't get it,it only did it the few times i was riding in a new spot but that shouldn't matter and it only seemed to do it those three times when pointed down hill (maybe a coincidence it was pointed down hill everytime ) but i had a b*tch of a time starting it those few times. Just wondering what it could be if anyone has any ideas or maybe if it was just a fluke or it was just warm day and the sled was hot or something ?? Just want some ideas and like i said ill keep an eye on it next ride and report back if it does it again to. But any ideas or thoughts or things to check or watch out for would be appreciated !!!
Thanks in advance like i said just need some insight, maybe it was just a fluke or bad fuel or something dumb just want ideas !!
