2008 Polaris RMK 600 144'' CFI

Just tried to start her up and get the guides on the trailer. Would start if it did then bog to its death. Full choke then to half. Then off. then dies on me.

First few tries :

Anyone got any ideas. Sled has about 1000 miles and only 85 hours. I'm not sure what it could be. Very dependable sled and always maintained.

Pull the carbs off and clean them!!

YOu probably have crappy gas in the tank. Drain the tank fill with 91, put SeaFoam in the tank from the start........

New Plugs and it should run just fine

600

agree with Jeff C then give it some throttle with full choke to get the revs up and get some gas moving. Ialways give my 600 some throttle when I start it, except stone cold. Good luck!

I run straight 92. Use the same gas as the Arctic Crap that fired up on first pull. If I can't get it I will let it sit till' I go to FTX and have them do all my parts and annual tune.

Thanks guys. Well look into that.
