Does it hurt starting my snowmobile off the primary clutch? The pull start brok on it and I am just wondering if it hurts anything starting it off the primary. Thanks.

on my xcr there is a strap that came with it that is supposed to go around the primary as a back up in case the recioil broke so i would think its ok

Yea I didn't think it hurt anything, but I just want to be sure. I don't really want to spend $80 for a used recoil either.

Just repair the one you have.

yep, recoil springs are cheap..... but require a TON of patience and a lot of hands.

and some four letter words, while it is flying to the neighbor's yard.

It's more then the springs though. The pull start stayed latched to the motor and it spun it backwards throught the recoil. I didn't notice it right away though. After all was said and done I ended up with a few broken pieces. I have some pictures of it in the Polaris section a few days ago.

You should replace it, if your spare rope goes, how yow going to start it?

Not to sound like a jack a$$, but where's my rope going to go? Also, I could just go to Rural King and buy some new rope. Or just look in my barn.

I mean snap, say you stop on the trail. You try to start again and it snaps. Then you will be stranded. That is why it has a spare rope. And not just any rope will work, usually they have a special plastic gizmo that you need. If that plastic thing on the end breaks then you are truly out of luck.

I don't ride on the trail, because there aren't any around me. I just mainly ride around my house and my friend's. Any rope will work, because right now I am just using a rope that I found laying in my friends barn.
