When cold, my sled will start first pull every time. But when warm, sometimes it will take up to 10+ pulls to start it. When it doe's it most is after a long hard pull, or after rolling it over to get unstuck....

Any ideas for a fix?

on an etec? i find this interesting as all of our etecs are first pull start no matter which way its facing or how cold it is LOL.

i think you have an underlying issue..........ill have to think about it though. hope someone else has some ideas.

i have been reading issues about bad spark plugs. this wouldnt help the situation,.

what kind of fuel are you running? where do you get it from?

The last couple rides my etec started taking a couple pulls to start when warm but started good cold and now it's got a dead hole and barely runs

Have had a couple guys in my group have to change out plugs . Both times sleds were hot and shut off. They would start right up but only run on one cylinder. Hey Maxwell, is it possible to vapor lock an injected sled?

I got my spark plugs changed under warranty last year. I always run 91+ octane. Have fuel cards for Fernie, and it's guarantied to be 91 octane, with no ethanol in it.
