What I find helps on my old 2000 Polaris touring is to give a slight bit of throttle with my right arm and pull with my left arm for a cold start . Pretty much fires first time if I do that way.

Thank you for this video ! Finally got my 97 MXZ started !

I just bought a mach z 1000 and this video helped me 110%

Don’t really need a nine minute video talk about how to pull the pull cord , maybe 30 seconds

Hey! You're going to break your cord if you keep doing it like that! You need to have the cord pulled out a bit so you can feel the resistance before you pull it hard, otherwise you will snap the cord of! But it's a good video man!👊

If you've pulled it a bunch and it's still not starting - undo the spark plugs and poor a little bit of gas into the spark plug hole. Might have to do a couple rounds of it. Will save you a ton of effort and a sore shoulder.

That compression bypass switch on the bayou is genius... I use it all the time

I always had to put my foot in the footwell because i would pull my mach z 780 back lol the compression of a triple when its cold is no joke. My honda fourtrax 300 also had a compression release but it was a kikstart. Good video!

Thanks man this really helped I’m a 11 YR old so it was hard tonstart

Thanks, good info!

A 600 ain’t too hard to start, but a cold 800 can be a bugger to get going.

Thank you so much I’m a teenage girl who doesn’t have my dad living with me anymore so starting my sled this year was a challenge thank you so much

Thanks this helped me a lot. No more getting embarrassed trying to start a sled

Got my boyfriends sled started thanks to this video ! Hurray and thank you !

Thx man that really helped

You won’t break the cord… ha! I know your method works man, but on much older sleds be careful. Those cords rot. I once did this and went flying backwards when the cord snapped.

Take the plugs out and pour a couple of cups of pre-mix gas into each cylinder. Replace the plugs, don't forget the caps and at the second or third pull it should start.. even on the coldest days.

On the snowmobile you could also use one arm but you would need more strength and use your strong arm usually

Great video!! Well, if you were looking to live in a place to try and avoid Jason Vorhees, that'd prob be it 😁. Cheers my man!!

What do I do with the key and choke? My bfs might be an older model I really don’t know. It really hard to sneak his sled out while his working.

Starting fluid always for me, I'm not riding with a pulled muscle.

For me it’s easy to pull start a ski doo because I’m fairly strong and I use the same technique but might be helpful for someone Else

My brother just traded his coleman bt200x for an arctic cat panther think its and 89 shit needs a fuel pump the pipe leaks gas and the dude who sold it put a 580 motor instead of tge stock 550 and my brother was told he has to put the gas in where one of the spark plugs is I tried using the method me and him rapping rope around 3 or 4 times around clutch I had it going and he got it going but wouldn't stay running we got it to Rev up but it barely moved took an hour or more of doing that and my dad looked at it said it needs air filters but there's no place to put one cuz tge type motor the guy put in the dude blocked my brother ripped him off big time my brother sold him a 6 or 700 dollar bike that turns great still really new told my brother not to do the deal but shit happens.

What year is the sled?

7:32 turn off kill switch (make sure its says RUN or ON)

Omg what a rocket scientist...lol

What happens if you pull start it well it's running?

That’s why u get electric start😂

If you can't pull start your sled and its an rmk like that your gonna be hazardous because you wont be strong enough to handle the machine.

Are you kidding me

Is this a joke?

Just get electric start

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

i'm afraid to pull my rope too hard, it might blow up.

If you gotta watch a video on how to pull start a sled......then maybe you shouldn't need to be riding
