Rod Caster Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) Drew, is the front end on your Bravo lifted? Looks like it sits quite high. Betcha she travels deep snow like a champ. Manitoubass: Are those built-in cupholders in the dash???? If so, that might be the best thing I've ever seen on a sled.

irishfield Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 A bravo that doesn't start good... goes through more gas than it use to? Your primer plunger / check flapper isn't sealing off and engine is sucking fuel through it while running richening the mix.. and the primer doesn't do squat when you pump it to try and start.

Moosebunk Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Drew, is the front end on your Bravo lifted? Looks like it sits quite high. Betcha she travels deep snow like a champ. Just the angle methinks. Does real well in the deep though. The 5" wide ski skins were the best extra to ever put on that sled. Only been good and stuck once... ever!

As long as my right thumb still works. First time I got into deep slush with my Venture I couldn't figure out why it was feeling weird until I looked behind me to see a river of slush 2 feet deep!!!

irishfield Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I saw "hard to start" and then a picture of Bunk's Bravo... brought back flash backs.. lol Would that old ET not have a primer on it already??.. and if so is it toast, as was Bunks on his Bravo.

Bernie Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Adding fuel to a cold engine points to lean fuel mostly. Could be a bad crankshaft seal. A bad seall allows air into the crankcase to lean the mixture.Once engine runs the seal warms and doesn't allow as much air to leak in. But poor compression and weak ignition can also fool you.

Old Man Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) If it's a crank seal, it's usually on the clutch side that is shot. A little ether sprayed around the seal area while the engine is idling will let you know if it's sucking air in. The idle will pick up considerably. If the seals good, check compression. Remove both plugs and connect the tester to one cylinder. Hold the throttle wide open and pull over at least 5 times. Compression should be at least 110 PSI or better. Repeat on the other cylinder. A good carb cleaning/rebuild can also improve or cure starting issues. Edited November 26, 2014 by Old Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshtrax Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 (edited) thanks bernie!No disrespect to Bernie, but I'd pull the carbs before touching anything else. Won't cost you anything to pull the carbs clean them and at least rule out a plugged pilot jet. I clean mine every season. Takes 1 hour.

It had everything to do with bad luck. lol. BTW... Wayne's a wizz with fawcet washers and Bravo primers. Fixed quick with no issue. Got the rest of the season out of the Bravo cause of the man's ability to McGyver stuff. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
