Silber Axys Pulls to Start?

[manitoba_boy]

Odd question but how many pulls does it take to start your silber axys? Mine takes 4-5 every time when cold (1 pull after it's been running). Just thought it's a bit odd since my last two Polaris fuel injected sleds (not turbo) only ever took two. Is 4-5 normal or do I have something else going on.
Also going to check my TPS one of these days soon but once I start it up after 4-5 pulls in my heated garage it idles fine but I then load it on my sled deck and get to where I'm going and a few times now when I start it on the deck it will not idle at all, I have to hold the throttle.

Anyone else seeing anything similar?

Good indication of a TPS that needs addressed-
A lot of ours idled at home base but at elevation where we ride it would never idle right and load up and babysit the throttle
Should be around 1850/1900 rpm IMHO

I agree sounds like a TPS adjustment is needed.


My Silber Axys typically starts on the 2nd pull, rare occasion 3rd pull when cold. When warm always the 2nd pull.


If the problem still persists after TPS adjustment I would say you might have slight fuel system leak allowing fuel pressure to bleed off while it is sitting.


Third item IMHO would be capacitors not functioning, as its using the first pull to charge a capacitor and second pull the capacitor helps to start the electrical system. So if the capacitor is bad it will not hold a charge as fast and subsequently take more pulls to get the fire lit.


This is just some of my thoughts, and honestly I know just enough to dangerous and really mess things up, so take it for what its worth.


TPS adjustment is where I would start.
