After the starter died on the trail, this guy shows how to pull start a Yamaha snowmobile using a cord wrapped around the clutch even though there is no pull start on these sleds.

Also learned that using a long thin strap, like those with ratchet tie downs, work really well and are longer, allowing to crank it even more.

great thanks for the video so just turn the key let it prime itfelf and pull on the primary?

@jdog1119

As far as I heard but I did hear that using a longer cord or rope will give more revolutions and a better chance at starting it. Another thing is that your chances are next to nil if it is stone cold.

You can do this on most sleds. but try pull starting the Apex or Nytro :P

@issatb0y

This may be true for 2 smokes, the 4 strokes do not have a pull start and usually need about 4 revolutions to start with the electric starter. And the fact they're fuel injected adds another layer of complexity. The sled in this video was a 2 cylinder. Are Apex and Nytro's 4's?

[issatb0y]

Phazer has cylinders while Apex has 4 and Nytro's have 3 :)

[MrMooseman2]

@issatb0y  I guess you meant to say "Phazer has 2 cylinders". :-)

@MrMooseman2

[bluemonster156]

@nkkaman44

Yep Yamaha the most dependable.A starter is not a big deal..BRP would be sitting there most times with blown pistons and driveshafts and even have caught fire..now which is more serious....that guy will learn to buy a Yamaha in the future afte his Doo explodes to pieces..hat e BRP..had 2 of them and were completely junk!!

@joepearsonful its manufacture preference. plus it would be extremely hard to pull over the apex or the nytro. thus e start is needed.

[joepearsonful]

Here's my question why can't you have a pull on it to like Polaris thats what i got and i've never have a prob if my electirc start goes.
