Did you check the relays in the fuse panel yet? Sounds like your idle circuit injector system not working...... Replace all 3 relays, and retry.... Use regular hd bosch relays from napa or bumper to bumper......otherwise, how is the battery? Does it start good?

the relays are cheap insurance..... Have seen them fail and actually cause no starts..... I change mine every second year to be on the safe side

relays are in the fuse box, just below the headlite, under the hood. Also did you doo a compression test? The fuel filter might also be an issue, but start with the relays first.......

i did the compression test yesterday its at 103 psi. i went to the ski doo shop and they wanted 35 dollars for the relays will have to make a trip to napa. i found a cut in the fuel line after the filter could it not being pressurized make a difference?

If it doesn't have proper fuel pressure it wont run properly at all. That compresion seems low.What it the same on both sides? They should have about 60psi fuel pressure if i remeber right. They actually have two fuel pumps, one under the motor and then a pressure pump in the gas tank.

When you did your compression test, you had both spark plugs out, and the throttle held wide open? (i would probably disconnect the ignition coil and take the fuel pump relays out) ...... You have to hold the throttle open to do a proper compression test.........otherwise, like glengine says, your compression is too low.............................................I think mine was 150psi each cylinder last year.......
