Ski doo grand touring starting issue

[super dave]

Im not a sled person but my brother in law is having some issues.  Carb was cleaned and new gas.  It starts sometimes but wont stay running.  He was saying something about a des switch.   I know this isnt a lot of info but any thoughts?   Could it be des kill switch?

I know there are some sled guys here so thought i would throw it out there.

 

Thanks

'wont stay running' is kind of vague...how long will it stay running for before it dies, and does it idle well before sputtering out?

The DES switch will not kill the motor if its not seated properly...you will hear a constant beep until its positioned properly. 

if the carbs were cleaned it could be a low idle setting. there is a knob on the center of the carb assembly that you can turn with your hand...start the machine and give it a turn and you will hear the revs increawe or decrease...try raising the idle revs a bit.

Thanks.  Ill pass this info along.  

Runs for max 10 seconds then dies
