Having trouble starting my sled. A few weeks ago I had it left out in some really cold temps. I went to start it and it started but was really boggy, so then I hit the throttle a little and it cut off. I couldn't get it going since. I took the plugs out and pulled if over thinking it may be flooded (did have a lot of fuel coming out of the plug holes) and put new plugs in and also checked the spark. Now when I try and pull the pull cord it locks up every second pull. Before the dash would light up when it was being pulled over, but now the dash light barely comes on when I pull it over. I'm getting a little fustrated with it now, are there any suggestions???

Check to see if you are missing some gas It might of leaked in your crank case, When it gets extremely cold a little water can make the needle-and-set stick open, just something to check if you have lots of gas comming out the plug hole

It is a EFI sled there are no needle and seats to freeze.
However the EFI sleds have something called smart valves built into the gas tank. If you have water in your gas the smart valves will not allow the gas to flow from the tank.
Being you had alot of gas in the motor I would haveta say its most likely not the smart valves.
Keep us posted on this please if you find out the cause.
