super dave Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 My brother has a skidoo touring. Starts up fine but it stalls out after 30 seconds. We did a quick carb cleaning and it didn't seem to improve it. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecmilley Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Engine would help. Did you remove carbs to clean. Check carb boots for tears ! (Most common) Try turning up idle usually 1500rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 Does it run better once the motor is warm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super dave Posted December 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 No Joey. It will always conk out after a minute. Even if we Rev it. any more thoughts?

Freshtrax Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 I would say something in the choke system or the fuel pump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freshtrax Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Carb boots if they were cracked should in theory run up the idle speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musky666 Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 If it was fuel related you could goose her and keep her running somehow- primer/choke, starting fluid etc. Sounds electrical to me and not related to the just cleaned cards- I say its the mag/coil/ plug leads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irishfield Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Let it start and then die... then pull a spark plug out and see if it's wet or dry. If dry it's not getting fuel.. if wet it's flooding itself somehow. Is it being started with a plunger type primer? or just a choke? If a plunger primer can he keep it running on the plunger? If he can.. fuel pump... or clogged jets. or as others have clearly stated already ripped carb boots and engine is just sucking air. Is the shake of start up grounding the kill switch wires somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
