Any help would be great. Just picked up a 2006 rmk700. Cleaned out reads, throttle body. Checked bellows to be good. Spark tested tested good spark. Will run for about 5 sec. And dies. If you try to give gas, it will die also. Thanks for your help

It is as simple as the fuel tank's vent tube being closed and creating a vacuum in the tank to fuel pump issues. Initial thought is fuel starvation. Dig deep. Fuel filter? Electric curcuits? 550iq

What he said^^ Sounds like you looks at a few items already, seems like fuel delivery would be my next item. Ive got the same sled and have never had that issue. Let us know!

thanks for your help. replaced plugs and got rid of old gas. Fule filter is my next thing to try. it wants to run but you are right, it is like it runs out of gas or is starving for gas. thanks for your help.

You might also check the TPS (throttle position sensor) for proper adjustment as well as the throttle cable for proper tension. If either of these are not right there will be symptoms similar as you discribe. The engine's brain will be confused. Good hunting. 550iq
