Hello,
I am new to the forum. I have been having issues lately starting my 2014 Polaris scrambler 850xp. It will crank over fine, but I have to hammer the throttle to get it to start. If it is warm there are no issues, leave it off for a few minutes. It just seems to be if I let it sit for awhile. I had this issue before, took it to a dealer and they changed a lot of stuff but didn't actually find the cause.

How is the battery? Do you keep your atv on a trickle charge?

I have a 2014 sportsman xp 850 and mine was doing the same thing. Cold starts i'd have to give it some throttle and it got worse and worse.... to the point to where i was running my battery dead from cranking it over so much. Once it started and was warm it would start the rest of the day without any problem unless it cooled off. I had to get my valves adjusted, Once that was done everything is back to normal again. No throttle input at all on cold starts.
