Why wont my skidoo start?

If your sled floods quickly, however, it may be a sign that all you need to do to fix your starting issue is clean the carburetor. While there are many reasons a snowmobile wont start after summer, the problem is most likely the result of something electrical, like a spark plug, or a problem with the air/fuel mixture.

What do you do if your snowmobile won t start?

If you have over-choked the sled while trying to start it, the engine could become flooded. One way to fix this is by turning the motor over with the choke off and spark plug out until all of the fuel has dissipated. Clean the plug and put it back in.
