Always did this on my iq600r after i snapped two pull cords and broke one magnapull. Started first pull every time. Also, if you don’t want to take your plugs out. Just pull the engine around slowly afew times to let the friction warm up the pistonrings just a smudge and lube everything. It will make it so much easier to pull when its like -30 celsius.
You could put a primer on it too. They sell the kits for twins and triples. Three pumps of fuel. And it'll start right up too :) But..............Your way is a good way too if you only have a choke :)
Yes it has a primer but the trick is to be able to pull it threw a few times,get the engine rolling and watch the fuel begin to move, I only do this when its more than 20 degrees below freezing, I'd tear up my recoil if I didn't, smaller engines not so bad but over 800cc a must for me
If you can plan to park next to an outlet. An electric hair dryer and even your cover will work for 15-20 minute pointed at crankcase with cover loosely thrown over and hood down. Always pull that 200.00 $ belt and take inside when done for the day. It will save from smoking a narrow spot and bonus it’s a theft deterrent.
1996 skidoo 380, it has a primer pump , give it plenty of pumps to put fuel directly in the cyl's. starts on the elec starter, all 2 strokes like to start very wet and rich. i also crack the throttle open slightly and stick my glove in the throttle to keep it open until it warms up . Always starts, removing spark plugs would be last ditch.
Ya...if it's that freaking cold the last thing I want to do is screw around pulling spark plugs! A warm fire and a hot cup of coffee sounds like a better idea
@@carnivoreguy at 62 and never having a problem I have to admit stretching everyday is a part of daily life . Plus I never thought I would say this but Tai chi took beginners classes with the wife and it works still looks stupid but works and is cheaper than physio.
