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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
If you have an old sled for sure you got to be cautious... I really meant don't be scared of pulling on it. Girls feel resistance or anybody new to the sport and just that will scare them and they will get discouraged.
doobyboy21 Thanks so much! But I still can’t get it started if my life depended on it lol I’m pretty sure he bought this sled for a reason.. he’s a smarter man than he lets on sometimes 😝😂
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.
Well some people need some guidance. You are trying to blow away the confidence people have in themselves. Pull starting a sled especially on cold days (even for men) is a pita and you know it.
Yes but no. Im just trying to be honest here. I realize some people can't pull start, but most should be cause I'm 15 and me and my buddies can all pull are older (98-02) machines with one hand sitting on the sled. I know some little girls at my school that can pull start
@@logmanfarmsfs8822 old snowmobiles are easier to pull start. They ain't got as big motors and aren't as fine tuned. I ride a 96 but whenever I try to pull my uncle's newer 600 it's a pain in the ass.
It not gonna blow up from pulling it to hard just put the choke lever all the way up and pull until it starts then flip the choke all the way down its not that hard

I just bought a mach z 1000 and this video helped me 110%
Glad it helped you buddy ! =)
Thanks man this really helped I’m a 11 YR old so it was hard tonstart
Thankx dude ! Build some muscle !
Thank you for this video ! Finally got my 97 MXZ started !
I've got a 1996 and I've never been able to pull start. Until now
Don’t really need a nine minute video talk about how to pull the pull cord , maybe 30 seconds
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
Glad it helped you out ! The key is practice !

HAHAHA Never had a triple but it must be fun ! Thankx for the nice comment bro ! 😀

Well my girlfriend got the sled started so something worked ! My neighbour still can't... She is tiny !
You are right

That compression bypass switch on the bayou is genius... I use it all the time
Got my boyfriends sled started thanks to this video ! Hurray and thank you !
Awesome ! More power to you ! :)
A 600 ain’t too hard to start, but a cold 800 can be a bugger to get going.
Pull start
a triple
when its -20
Or
draw 25
@@ruckus__ Pull start
A f1000 son pro
When it’s -35,
Or draw 35
Jesus don’t start with the cold mxz 800
Try starting a rmk 800 in -37
Try pull starting my 02 Thundercat 1000 triple with high comp domes in -30
Thanks this helped me a lot. No more getting embarrassed trying to start a sled
No problem buddy ! :)
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
Good luck man !
Thanks, good info!
Omg what a rocket scientist...lol
What is this about ? If do not need to watch this video don't... Now go back to your shitty weed and piss hot beer honey
@@doobyboy21 lol next Can you show me how to open the drawer
@@ldeshner I will probably get as many views as this video and do better than all your videos ! Thankx for the tip for my next video honey

Thx man that really helped
No problem my friend ! :)
@@doobyboy21 Yea im 11 and can barely start my skidoo
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.
lift the choke up all the way... turn the key to on and pull the cord hard like I showed in the video !
doobyboy21 Thanks so much! But I still can’t get it started if my life depended on it lol I’m pretty sure he bought this sled for a reason.. he’s a smarter man than he lets on sometimes 😝😂
@@natalierobert-nolette5792 HAHAHA ! Amen ! Please subscribe !
@@natalierobert-nolette5792 that’s hilarious! I could see my wife trying to get my sled going while I was gone to work or something. That’s too funny!
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
Thankx for understanding bro ! People that don't understand give up on a sled quickly just cause they can't even start the thing !
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!!

There are assholes all over this planet... Call that a life lesson and shake it off ! Karma will get back at that guy !
Starting fluid always for me, I'm not riding with a pulled muscle.
7:32 turn off kill switch (make sure its says RUN or ON)
What year is the sled?
this is a 2009
What happens if you pull start it well it's running?
Try it and see kittens
@@doobyboy21 what do you mean ? 😂😂😂
@@amosrella5322 I saw kittens when trying it
That’s why u get electric start😂
You little rascal... .)
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.

Is this a joke?
Pour les gens qui débute dans se sport non c'est pas une joke... Spécialement pour les femmes et les ados...
Are you kidding me
Just get electric start
indeed but pull cords are not optional on 2 strokes...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i'm afraid to pull my rope too hard, it might blow up.

@@yeboidustin8725 turns out I had a blown cyl/piston.
Thats why it was hard to pull over.
If you gotta watch a video on how to pull start a sled......then maybe you shouldn't need to be riding
