Most motorcycles backfire on startup if they’re running rich, either from a faulty carburetor, jet, needle or from excessive uncombusted fuel in the exhaust system. Running rich means the fuel in the engine is more than the required air-fuel mixture.
What causes a skidoo to backfire?
It’s likely a wiring issue, so either get your plugs to a snowmobile mechanic or change them out. Other spark plug problems are also possible. If yours are especially wet, the plugs could malfunction. You could also have snowmobile backfiring if your spark plugs are filthy or if you have yet to ever replace them.
Why is my snowmobile hard starting?
When your sled hasn’t been started for a while, the gas lines and carbs can dry out, making it difficult to get the sled to start. When the starting fluid or carb cleaner is sprayed in the intake of the carburetor, the engine should fire, which could then draw the gas through the fuel system.
What is good compression on a snowmobile?
A two stroke or ANY internal combustion engine will not fire below 100psi of compression. 100 is VERY low sleds with good motors should be over 120psi and 135-145 is kinda a target number on pump gas that is.
Can a bad spark plug cause a backfire?

Does your sled backfire when you shut it off?
If the sled backfires when you shut it down it’s pretty standard on ski doos to (allthough I’ve herd it come from Poos too)…Like said above it’ll happen fairly consistency when you shut it down right after running it hard….let it idle for 20 seconds or so before you shut it off and I’ll bet you hear it backfire alot less…
