On my friends 92 ski doo formula he has a hard time starting it. If he holds the throttle open a little bit, while pulling it, it fires right up.

What could I do to improve the starting?

Thanks.

Well it could just be that the idle is set too low, but something like that could easily be a clogged pilot jet. Does it idle normally after it starts?

YES idles great, I will start by cleaning the carbs...then maybe adjust the idle...thanks

Is he using the choke or is the choke adjusted properly? Are you talking about cold starts, warm starts, or both? If it's only cold starts, check the choke. If both, maybe the belt deflection is too tight? I suppose it could be a lot of things but that reminds me of my sleds before I figured out belt deflection.
