Ok fellas... rode this sled on Saturday first time out a little boggy no big deal. Went to start it on sunday and won't start. Pull the rope once all good go to pull it the second time and it won't pull over. Try pulling a third time and it pulls over but wont again on the fourth pull ???? It's locking up one every other pull. Pulled the plugs out and it pulls over fine!! Need some help on this one...anybody have any ideas on what this might be?

You pull a plug to see if it helps? Might have a bad head gasket and has antifreeze in the cylinder. See if the primary is catching the belt to. If your clutch needs fixing it might be stuck. Both these things can explain the bogging.

Maybe Woodruff key sheared...caused timing to go out. Had happen a few years go, would rip cord out of your hands- easy way to tell is if your compression ratio seems high,lol- 160 was impressive on a stock, high mileage sled!
