I recently swapped my telescoping steering post for a 4 stroke fixed vertical post set-up and since then have had my sled die about 6 times for no reason. Every time it has done so, I have either been stopped or nearly stopped and had my skis turned full lock to the right. At first the sled would start right back up when I pulled the rope.
Last weekend it quit me 3 times in the parking lot and took a dozen pulls on the rope to start the last time it did it. Once I got it running, I ran it the rest of the day avoiding turning my skis to the right at full lock and it was fine. Even when the sled didn't start, it fired and engine would rev, almost to the point where I would reach for the kill switch before it would die on its own. It acts like there is a safety switch (maybe throttle safety switch in the bars?) kicking in and killing the engine because something is telling it something's wrong. Maybe the throttle cable is out of adjustment or my new steering post set-up is stretching/kinking the cable at full lock to the right?
Anybody else ran into this or heard of this before? Going to look over my throttle cable, but is there somewhere else I should look? Could it be an electrical issue?
