So get that checked out at minimum.īest of luck with getting it back in order. EFI, command module and all that, and if the battery isn't up to snuff the engine will run poorly if at all. Oh, and your 2015 doo definitely has a battery, even with no electric starter.

And I wouldn't think a dying pull mechanism would prevent the system from firing up, but I'm no ace sled mechanic. Does it start easy then get harder? Or hard to pull from the get-go? I would think if it starts pulling easy and gets harder, the increased compression is due to fuel/oil getting into the cylinder but not fully clearing, basically fouling the chambers? At least you'd know fuel delivery is not the issue. Luckily I know a few guys locally that love to have a disassembled sled to enjoy beers/ganja over in their mac'n shop, as I have no garage myself.Ĭurious about the hard turning over bit. Any automotive work below 0C sucks and can confound diagnosis. Will go for at least a sightseeing brraap, conditions are reported to be excellent.Īnd find a shop to work in. Supposed to warm up for the New Years weekend, hoping to finally get out with my new touring set-up. We've been -25 in the AM for a bit now, I won't even bother taking out the personal sled. Could be faulty plugs, but they usually start to fail when warm first, unless somehow they went out of alignment with the injection ports.Įdit: reading your post closer, you mean the engine won't crank at all, or just won't fire when pulled over? If you can't turn it over at all, then that's a whole other kettle of fish. Does the battery have sufficient life for this cold weather - these temps are hard on an older battery, especially if it wasn't kept maintained over the summer, so check its health. Or maybe moisture in the electrical causing a short to the ignition. With the temps, maybe a bit of water in the fuel line that froze (condensation in the tank from the wet coast?). I tried a hairdryer blasted on the clutch side, but another friend thinks its more likely cold oil. All the undergrounds are still -10 and I dont have access to a heated garage atm. It started just fine after summer storage second pull, loaded onto truck, unloaded and reloaded a couple of times, but never actually been proper braapped this year. We've had a pretty good run of -20C here and my sled wont turn over.
