m8 will not start

IT HAS WATER IN THE INJECTORS. REOMOVE THEM AND BLOW THEM OUT. YOU WILL HAVE TO HOOK POWER FROM A JUMPER BATTERY TO THEM. BLOW THROUGH THEM. THEN PUT ISOHEET IN YOUR FUEL AND SHOULD FIRE RIGHT UP. ITS HAPPENED TO MY M A COUPLE TIMES.

I also have a 08 m8 snopro that quit on me out in the big horns pulled it back to the truck and rode the back up sled the rest of the day went at night and it started right up and ran ok I also checked the spark and fuel seemed ok when it was running again it didnt have anything flashing on the guage.

Under what circumstances did it stop running. Wouldn't start one day? Died on the hill? That can tell you a lot about what's wrong.

Air, fuel, spark, compression. If it won't run, then there's going to be a problem with one of them. Check them, and verify each and you'll find your answer.

it is a 2010 m8 . it has good spark pumps gas has good compression and it sat a day and a half and it will not start. we tryed the common things with no luck. does anybody know what causes it? or the easyest fix?

 

[brendank69]

Does it sounds like it's trying to start? Could it be flooded? If so, pull it over with the throttle wide open.

As was said before, the fuel could have been contaminated with water(?) You can pull off a fuel line and check it, it's very easy to tell water from fuel.

When I have fueling problems, I like to put a small amount of fuel down the plug holes. If it fires up for a second, you know within a reasonable amount of certainty that you have a fuel problem.

Several sleds in our riding group encountered this as well this year. Set parking brake, give it 1/4 throttle and it will more than likely start after 5 or 6 pulls. If not, go wide open and it will start after 5 or 6 pulls.

this was a problem a cousin on mine had while in Island Park. He used his fancy *** phone to get on here and apparently you guys helped him because while i was in the cabin tippin a few, he got the thing running. Thanks for the help guys!

mine has never missed a lick in 700 miles, if it doesnt start on the third pull do the ol skidoo trick and pin it and pull it let off instantly itel start right up.


my old sled i never had to use the throttle, this one ocationaly i will have to giver some juice, if it doesnt start on the second pull.... then i giver juice and everytime she fires!
