I have a 2017 RTV 900. It will not start unless i give it gas and then it struggles. It used to start right up without touching the gas pedal. Not sure if it is any correlation but it has recently lost speed/power when running it prior to this new NOT STARTING matter. I am sure it is a fuel situation. Thoughts?

Is it an RTV 900 or an RTV-X900? They are two completely different critters. If it is 2017 it should be an RTV-X900 which has the fuel filter mounted just ahead and inward from the RR tire. Check or change it as it most likely has water or debris restricting it. Also, remove the outlet hose from the fuel lift pump and crank the engine to check the flow from it.
