This is a classic example of floats being set too high. This was a huge problem on the 583's when they first came out too. Just set them about 0.5 mm lower each time out until it improves.

WOW this is great!!
My 97 summit 740 Union Bay did the same thing!!
But here's what happened!
We were hill climbing and i went down the wrong shoot!(well it really was not a shoot but any way!) I stopped and tried to side hill back up but i pulled it i little bit to far and flipped it!!(to the up hill side) (thank god)LOL
Any way i dug a hole so i could work on it, i pulled the plugs and they were dry!!
So i put them back in, primed it 2 to 4 times pulled it 100 times then got really mad:realmad:. i was ready to burn it on the side of the mountain!:cool::cigar:
Pulled the plugs again this time there was i little gas on them but it still would not fire!!:rant: I finally got it running after another 59 pulls!! HOLE ch!t!!!
So has any one had this problem before??
Up till it started i said i would never buy another summit!!LOL

Sounds like a pretty common problem on the 670's if they spend to much time on there side. Man was I getting pissed off to when it wouldn't start. lol My shoulder was so soar the next day.
Does anyone know if there was a fix for this problem can simply changing to a diffrent carb or newer style carb help??/

Move the fuel shut off to the handlebars like someone else here did or move it to where you can get at it fast. I moved mine to the area on the panel right below the pull starter handle. If she flips, just reach over and shut the fuel off asap, especially if it is still running/gurggling. When you get it back upright, hold the throttle open on the first pull, don't leave it closed and flood it. Once you get it running, crank the fuel on again (just don't forget its off).

If your sled dies 300 ft from where you got started, your fuel is still off (trust me on this one).

Nope, looks like a routine subframe and undercarriage inspection to me. :D

You gotta do the routine maintenance inspections every now and then so that you are prepared for if something goes wrong.....
