so we have an 05 900 rmk and we were having problems with the oil leaking internally. so we thought we had it figured out and we were running it in the shop the other day. well it was running pretty strong and it just slowed down and quit running.
so when that happened we tried starting it again and it would turn over like normal but it wouldnt allow it to start. checked the plugs and to see if it was getting gas and it was all good. we decided to add a little gas in the cylinders to see if it would start then. all it would do then is sound like it was about to start then it would backfire real loud every third pull or so.
so we decided to let it go and leave it alone. now we come back again and it doesnt backfire but it just pulls over and sounds like it wants to start again but doesnt.
my question is could it be the computer telling it not to run for some reason even if its getting gas and sparking like normal? i know when it was running the service engine light was flashing but we figured it was just because of the oil problem.
if this is hard to understand just let me know, but any information is greatly appreciated
thanks
