Hey there.

Just looking for some ideas. Maybe someone has had this issue before.

I have a 2000 SkiDoo Formula 500 LC. It runs great. Pump the primer 1-2 times and starts on the first or second pull when cold..

As long as i leave it running, it will stay running all day long.

if i shut it down when its hot, some times it will fire right away and as long as i hit the throttle quick enough it will stay running.

if it sputters and dies on the restart, it will not start from then on out. i have even taken out plugs when this happens, and it just wont fire. The plugs are wet, so i am thinking it is flooding.. but the question is why?

I have heard carbs.
I have heard primer is not sealed and flooding the engine.
I have heard stator.
If the issue wont replicate at the repair place, they cant fix it.


What do i need to do (besides buy a new sled, trust me i have thought this long and hard lol) to find out what the problem is?

I can fix anything. just need ideas.
