I would check your sleds voltage regulator and make sure your engine has a good ground!

YEP MAKE SURE all grounds and Battery IS HOOKED UP proper!
I think IT will OVER CHARGE THE or juice up the BULB to much with out the battery hooked up
needs BAttery to regulate the power to BULB..

just to add regardless if it's electric or pull start you may think the voltage regulator is grounded every year i take the voltage regulator off and clean the connection regardless if it needs it or not my one sled 1980 citation 4500 is a very banged up sled it's rusted out but still hold it's own it will never be a restored sled so i will drive it into the ground. my point on this sled because of the rust build up every year i have to clean the connection so i got inpatient and just connected a wire form the negative wire form regulator to the negative of the motor never had a bulb problem since so basically i by passed the whole sled
