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.
