[riggsracin]

im working on a 4 tec gtx and im having some problems. it starts and runs good until it gets warmed up. it has new starter and battery and i crossed out solenoid when it was warm but still cranks over really slow. it was doing same thing with old starter i took new one apart and it still looked good. any ideals?

Is this ski supercharged? If so you could have a supercharger that let go. Remove the hose on the pressure side and look at the wheel. You shouldn't be able to spin it with your finger without applying considerable pressure. Also there should be no play in it.

its non supercharged. it will start good until u let it run a while. im thinking something in the engine or maybe the pump is seizing up?

Ok you mentioned it has a new starter. Is it a factory replacement part or aftermarket like one from eBay. The cheaper aftermarket units tend to be of inferior quality and cause more problems down the road.

its one from western power sports

That's NOT an oem part. It is an aftermarket direct replacement from what I can see on their site based on price alone. That is most likely your problem once it is heated up it draws more than what the battery can deliver.

Anything electrical on these machines you need to replace with BRP factory parts. Yes they are far more expensive but there's a reason for it.

I'm going with the starter as well..

OEM is expensive but really the only way to go. If you have your original OEM rebuild it.

A used OEM starter is often better than a new aftermarket.
