I have a 2023 z force 950 ho. Last year driving up hunting it was 20 below. When I tried to start the machine it would start and immediately shut down. I had to do this 7 or I times before it would start and idle. I attributed this to the extreme cold.

This year, after sitting overnight in 37 degree weather it did the same thing. I have also noticed that anytime I start it I have to let it idle for 30 seconds before I can hit the gas pedal. If I hit it too soon it just spits and sputters.

Anyone else experience this?
Thanks
Todd

Might clean the mass air/temp sensor and run some spray carb cleaner through the IACV. That has helps others.

Could it be fuel gelling?

Ive always run ethanol free in my bikes but my truck and car I usually run 89 at 10% were ridiculously hard to start last year during our low temps.
I switched to ethanol free for the rest of winter and greatly reduced my starting issues on them.

Neither of my 800xcs had issues starting during our 20 below snaps.
I DO keep them out of the weather, but not in a heated environment.
I didn't have to keep them on trickle chargers either.
