i have a 2000 mxz 700. sometimes when i go to start it, it takes 10-15 pulls to start it. This happens sometimes also when the sled is warm or cold, but sometimes when the sled is warm it only takes a half pull to start it...??????any ideas on how to get it to start on a pull or two all the time?
changed the spark plugs to see if that would fix the problem but it didn't.
there is only 1900 miles on it and no other problems......

Have you checked the compression?

When it doesn't want to start does it help to hold the throttle open, as if it was flooded?

i will try that later on tonight and get back to you

If that doesn't doo it (pun intended) then pop out the plugs when it happens, see if there wet and do a spark test. That should point you in the right direction.
