850 Khaos always takes a few pulls to start?

2021 khaos 850
800 miles
Ves extreme oil

This sled always takes 3-5 pulls to start. It doesn’t matter if it has old or new plugs, has been sitting 15 minutes or 15 days or months.

I’ve seen other posts of many people having the same issue, but I haven’t seen any posts of what the “fix” is. Has anyone diagnosed this on their sleds? Thanks

What's the problem? It starts, right? My 21 Khaos takes a couple pulls too. Big deal.

I agree it is a problem. In my 2019 I believe I have the latest flash and it is ok but some times after running and being parked for 10 minutes it is a bear to start. My shoulders and back aren't sore from riding as much as pulling it over. Really ridiculous.

Gotta charge up the system capacitors I think. If I pull mine short and slow it takes 4-5. If I do 2 hard, full length pulls the second usually starts it.

It’s a 19-21 850 fuel injection system weakness.

Happens on every one I have ever seen or ridden. (A serious pull on the rope with a crack of the throttle does make for one pull starts warm most of the time)

The 18-21 800 seems to start easier than the 850’s.

Unfortunately, this is what I have seen.

Yes it seems to be a problem. I have a 21 Khaos but luckily it is electric start. When cold it sometimes takes 5 sec or longer to start when cranking with electric starter. When warm it takes 2-4 seconds to fire off. I have found that when cold you are best to crank 1-2 seconds then stop and then wait 1-2 seconds and retry and usually it fires instantly. If I was having to crank this thing by hand I would really be complaining to Polaris. I have been riding for more then fifty years and have never seen a worst sled for starting !

check your spark plug wires. some of them are turning to dust or getting broken wires really fast.

3-4 when cold for me, 1 or 2 pulls when warm.

Have your dealer look at the SSA-21-01 Power Boosting Regulator UPDATE! Just had my 19 in for problem with gauge going black. Gauge still goes black but the sledstarts better.

Is this for 2021 axys also, I am seeing matryx updates mostly?

 

[Billrmk]

I dont know. Have to ask your dealer.

I've tried a couple different flash updates, still starts hard. If I hold the throttle open about 1/8" it sometimes starts in one pull.

Yep same here ?

 

[kidwoo]

me four

seems an 8fiddy thing for sure

3-4 pulls cold for me. Then one pull the rest of the day. I found as I get tired towards the end of the day it takes more pulls, but it’s just me not pulling the cord as far. Once I make sure to give it a full pull it fires on one every time. Even stepping off the sled and giving it a left hand pull helps sometimes.

 

[Radical Rider]

is there a fix for having to hold the throttle to start

Yep it’s cost 16000 bucks and it’s called a matrix I have my dealer trying to figure it out I have a 21 Kahos that don’t like to start and don’t run clean on the bottom like the new matrix NA. It’s pissing me off

 

[AdrenalineAddict]

I watched a sledding friend of mine a couple weeks who has the latest and greatest update, he also yanked the rope 3 times before it fired. If I hold my throttle at about 1/8", pull once and get a blubber, I can then let go of the flipper and it will usually start on pull 2. Don't hold the flipper and pull continuously it will flood beyond hope.

 

[macphee8fiddy]

same boat, warm it takes a few sometimes too, anyone having issues with it stalling going into reverse too? i heard the dealer will take them in for that issue?
