Is the battery just dead? Does it turn over very slow? That does sound weird, most sleds I know of will turn til it starts or the battery runs out or the starter dies. Make sure your kill switch is on, , I know but it has happened before. When the carb is drained it takes a lot to refill it and for fuel to get to the combustion chamber, it almost needs to be primed so to speak. Sometimes to persuade an engine I'll put a few drops of fuel down the cylinder, remove the plugs, if they are dry put 1/2 teaspoon of fuel in each cylinder. Fire it up, if it runs a few seconds and stalls, keep doing it. It will eventually pull fuel from the carbs. If it sounds more like a starter problem... do you have a pull start you could use just to try to get it going? There are snowmobile forums also and people are pretty knowledgeable there as well. Good luck
Try blowing in your tank it will help push fuel into your lines plus cats are know for fuel pumps going out if not used regularly.
I caved, after it sitting for two years and my condition the way it is I can't risk any break downs. I brought it to the dealer, he is going to go through the whole machine top to bottom. He said 7-10 days, ice isn't ready for machines right now and didn't want to drag it any further into this season. I want to thank every body for all the help, it is greatly appreciated.

Ya bart, well worth the piece of mind. Mine was starting hard so I dropped it off at the dealer only has 800 miles, but I don't want to get stranded out on the ice. Except it back any day now
Hey Bart, everyone has different ideas about running the fuel out of their two strokes but I have been told that it can cause gaskets to dry out and things to stick. Just something to think about.
