2012 outty, not starting

[Squatchxp]

Really hope someone can help. I've got a 2012 outlander max xt 650 that's not starting. The starter spines and the fuel pump is working it will crank around 100 -250 rpm. Once in a while it will hit 1000 and almost start then back to 100

I've swapped the battery with a fresh one. No go
I've jumped the solenoid, no go
checked and switched fuses, no go
only thing I got left is maybe the fuel pump?

any thoughts? I really need to plow my drive way.

Fuel valve on? frozen fuel line?

 

[Squatchxp]

Lines on and heated garage

Bad gas?

Vapor lock? try undoing the cap ...just a thought

Make sure all your grounds are still tight

See if your bike is throwing codes. I found instructions here: Can-Am Diagnostics-Fault Codes - MudInMyBlood Forums If you read a couple of post down, someone also posted a link to the diagnostic code charts.

 

[Squatchxp]

No codes either.

Have you checked the plugs to see if they are fouled?

 

[whoDEANie]

I had similar intermittent symptoms that turned out to be a frayed wires coming out of my stator that were rounding out.

Checked grounds, vapor lock and starter wires. Think I caved, going to bring it to the shop tomorrow. I'll keep you posted.

Is it hard to pull the plugs on that machine?

 

[Squatchxp]

no not at all, but I just swithed them out in october. I'm really leaning towards the fuel pump not putting out the needed pressure. Thats why I can still smell the fuel and the engine will almost crank over at points. They fuel up here is real $hitty and I'm sure it's not the cleanist.

Sounds like It's your key i bet. Dess failed in my can ams a few times. Just turns over but won't start. Clean or get a new one

Take the key out. Then turn off the kill switch. Turn it back on then put key back in and try it
