Anyone figured out how to start a boondocker pg turbo after riding it. Mine will immediatly flood when i try to start it after it has warmed up. Boondockers knows about the problem but does not have a fix for it yet. I guess they are "out riding". Must be nice. How did they start theirs?
Starting a boondockers turbo this year
- Thread starter turbonium

What are your fuel numbers on the low PSI & Low RPM settings? What rpm does it idle at prior to killing it. Might be a place to start. I haven't had or heard of this issue before. I guess ya just keep on a ridin for now. lol. Hope ya get it dialed. EW

Interesting, I've owned 4 BD kits now and I've never had a problem with this.
Jr, knowing what sled you have might be a help also. I've heard that many of the updated sleds are having the same issue w/o a turbo, so it might not be BD related at all. I've never seen a hard to start warm BD.

have your ecu flashed back to the 09 map and all your problems will be solved

Polaris Hot Start
The fix is coming, in the meantime here are couple of guidelines to help with the hot start.
1. Idle your sled for 30 seconds before shutting off.
2. If you are trail riding, or on hard pack it helps to ride in some snow to cool the heat exchangers, before shutting off.
3. Leave your sled at an idle if you are going to shut it off for less than five minutes.
4. If after the first couple of tries, your sled does not start, don’t keep trying or it will flood worse. Proceed to step five.
5. If your sled does not start, unplug the BD box at the white connector, start the sled with the box unplugged, after a few pulls your sled should start then die, reconnect the box, it will start and run.
Thanks everyone for your continued patience and support, Thx Diann

I put some break in miles on mine yesterday running the same numbers and it ran great. No flooding and the plug's were nice gold brown. This is at sea level i which it should run richer not? Not yet running the EBC, but I dont think anyone is yet.

What #'s are u running at sea level? Mine are a lot lower than boondockers #'s.
I'am running 30-40-42 in MN.
42-50-60 I dont really ride my sled much here just play around a bit. I run the same numbers here and at 7000 to 11000 feet. That's why I mentioned I had no flooding issues. I should be running really rich here at sea level. Top of pistons are wet but no problems.
What are your egt's doing?

Just o2 and its about 12.5-12.7 at WOT.

What elevation are you running? I ride around 4000 and run 35 45 55 still a little top end bog. Are you running race gas or pump? 42 as your top number how high is your egt on a long pull? Sorry for all the questions just had to find someone you rides low elevations to help

I use those # at home and its about a 1000 feet. I use 100% 110 because my boost turned all the way down is still between 5.5 and 6 psi. No egts just o2 and its about 12.5 wot. My sled will not run wide open with any higer # than 42, it just falls on its face and you go over the bars. Plugs are still black after a good run.
Why the heck does mine work with the # at sea level. I should be way rich but im not. Im afraid when I get out to 6 to 10,000 feet im going to be lean with theses # then. Plug's are a nice tan brown on vp 110. And wide open the lowest boost is 7.5 to 8

Schmitt sent you another PM should help a little.
Also been talking to Scott on the phone that started this post on the phone just doing the steps the SB has posted above helped him out a ton.

Last year BD's #s work good for me at 10,000 feet, but i have to lean it way out down low to get it to run.
