	Finally got my dads sled out onto snow today (2002 Z570), but its only running on one cylinder. the idle was REALLY low and wouldnt idle by itself, we adjusted it and it idles fine now, but still only runs on one cylinder. What could it be?? Thanks!! -Bruce P.S. merry christmas and happy holidays to everyone! Bruce Taylor 2004 ski-doo MXZX 440 1996 Ford Probe GT 1998 Volkswagen Jetta Rating: 0 Quick Edit Edit Topic

	try cleaning the carbs. This has happened to our indy 500 a few times and that's all we did and a way it went Quote Originally posted by 07rmkracer been called the nephew of a Fusion 900 engineer' Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

	Which cylinder isnt running? Chech to make sure the plug cap snaps on and fits securely.Then pull the plug and make sure that it is making spark. It may be a bad wire or something. If its not that then go through the carbs. P.s-dont forget when you get it fixed you will have to turn the idle back down before you start it. I helped a guy once that forgot and when he started the sled it took off. luckily he hit the kill switch before it got away from him.

	Did you check that the spark was the same and consistant with the other plug that works? Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit
