After this, are your plugs wet? Are they fouled? Are they new? Is your primer (choke) on or off? Where is your idle adjust screw at?
Put some fuel in a little squirt bottle of some sort and give a squirt in each carb with the throttle open so it goes in. Give it a few yanks. If the plugs were dry before, it should have some kick at this point. You could also remove the plugs and give a squirt of fuel in each cylinder. Good luck!

I'd like to bounce a situation off the list as I attempt to start my rebuilt 494 that I've bolted back into my KBS. The situation: -140 psi compression on both cylinders -spark at both plugs -40:1 premix in a spare tank that is getting pumped to the carbs -idle air mix screws set per the SkiDoo manual (seat screw and then back out 1.5 turns) I'm assuming proper timing on the rotary valve and the magneto firing. The engine has refused to fire after 300 pulls on the starter cord (it's a total body workout!). It feels like some combustion is helping on some of the pulls, but it's not firing or attempting to catch and run. Are there other things that I need to check or do? Thanks for any and all assistance, Kenneth Kirkland #18MiDiv / Arkansas Region(77) 1991 KBS Mk.
