It really isn't saving me money yet. The snow conditions here are pretty ****ty and not really worth riding in. It takes alot of snow to cover up all the rocks, stumps, bogs, and creeks that we have in our riding area.

A foot of snow is good for us to get a base. But a lot of trails are pretty good with less.

We need atleast 3' of base for things to be decent. We do have one trail that only needs 12-18" to be groomed, but that is because it is a summer access road for two Microwave towers and they haul fuel up to them in tri-drive trucks

You can't get your sled to start?

Do have any idea what is wrong? If I remember right, it is a small block Rotax 600?

Correct small block 600. Ran good when parked last spring. Tried to start it couple weekends ago cranked over but wouldn't fire. Battery was going flat so I charged it, same thing then it wouldn't even engage the starter, was like the tether wasn't even on it. I got my other tether, not programed for this ecm and then it cranked over but still wouldn't start. Then it did the same thing where it acted like the tether wasn't on it. Tried twisting it and cleaning the surfaces but nothing. Not sure if ecm took a dump or what but I have the original in the garage I might try when I get a chance to drag it out of the shed.

Has over 8000 miles on it but never had This happen. Another addition to the to do list.

Once you run out of paper to add to the list it does.

Yeah, that does sound like an ECM problem. Is it a DPM machine or just the standard MPEM?
