03 MXZ rev, hard starting

The last 2 seasons, this sled is getting harder and harder to start. I have about 1000 miles on it. Usually it takes about 2 to 3 pulls to get it started. Once u shut it off for about 30 minutes, it takes forever to start.
Could it be a ring issue, and did BRP ever issue a recall for the 2003's?
 
Check your compression. Had identical problems with mine. Checked compression last couple of trips it kept going down. Last reading before rebuild was 90psi one side and 110psi on other. Pulled apart, rebuilt with Wiseco and has never ran as good, started as fast, or pulled as hard as it does now. Time for a rebuild I bet Mountainmouse. Hate to spoil your evening.

Yeah, I was kinda avoiding the ring issue. I had a feeling that was the problem. Was there a TSB or anything on the 2003 ring problems?
Gonna have the local skidoo shop look up my VIN and see what they find out tomorrow.
