My wife bought this new/used sled this summer. I just went out to take my kids for a ride and it will turn over for a little then the battery appears to weaken to the point that it will not start. Does anyone know about this sled I looked for a pull cord with no luck I pulled it into my heated garage to see if a couple of hours of warmth will fix the problem. I do not have the manual, so I am running blind. My last sled was a 1973 TNT!

I towed it into the garage(heated) and it started in less than an hour.. Apparently the 4 stroke are hard starting beast in the extremely cold weather with no pull start available. I had no further issues since then, sad that you have to keep a snowmobile warm in the winter!

Change to oil to a true synthetic, you will find that the engine will start easier. This is true for other engines as well, particularly diesels.

Definitely try changing the oil to a lighter weight, or like was suggested, a true synthetic that does not thicken in the cold. I had to do that seasonally years ago with my original air cooled VW Beetle or it wouldn't turn over at all in winter cold. Cold thickened oil in the crackcase of a 4-stroke can be too much for even a good battery. That was never a problem for the 2-stroke sleds, of course.
