sounds to me like a ring is catching on one of the portsI was just wandering if my snowmobile is junk or something miner to fix. The boy was riding it last week and it died . Then you couldnt pull the rope to start it. I turned it over by taking the plugs out and turned it over backwards till it freed up. sounded like a grinding sound .. When it freed up Pulled the rope and it fired right up.. drove for a few feet and died the same thing .. but freed right back up .. Any suggestions ? Thanks[/b]
