Brand new Can-Am 400 Outlander 11miiles.. Ran out of gas today, filled her back up and now can't get it to start. Engine flooded, so we pulled the spark plug and tried to clear the fuel out of the cylinder. Let it sit for about 15 minutes, put the plug back in tried to start it up, still nothing.. Anyone have any suggestions as to what else to try?

Maybe check the fuel filter. Possibly something in the tank that might of got your line clogged up a little and not getting enough fuel. Just a thought. I usually always start with fuel/air/spark when somethings not running. I don't know if your fi or if you have a carb. If you have a carb then possibly a jet clogged up.

Something about this doesn't sound right.First it's brand new and you run out of gas with 11 miles.Did you even put any gas in it?11 miles is like half a gallon.My advice would be to take it back to the dealer and let them fix whatever it is you messed up.While it's at the dealer read your owners manual from cover to cover.Hate to be harsh but this is not the bikes fault,it's the operators.

Both switches on? (key & kill switch) ?

Is there a fuel shutoff?

Is it in park or neutral?

Will it even turn over?
