Polaris Pull start recoil sticking
I have an issue with a new pull start assembly.
I have put it together correctly, but when I snug down the bolt the plastic reel starts to stick or catch the metal holding plate causing it to hang and not retract and also to loosen the bolt.
The kit came with a new bolt and locking waher. I'm guessing the bolt shouldn't be tightened down too much and maybe use locktite as well. Just snug the bolt up a little where the reel is free to move and let the locktite setup before using..?
Or should the bolt be tightened down?
Any assistance would be great.
thanks

A good film of grease needs to be applied the back of the metal plate,friction spring( wishbone spring) as some call it and the ratchet that engages the flywheel cup. The 10mm bolt needs to have locktite,but tighten this bolt first until the reel sticks,then slowly back off the bolt until it operates freely.The locktite will dry and keep the bolt from loosening.

thanks,
locktite did the trick.. just snugged it down and back it off a bit til it spun freely.. let it setup and works like it should.
figure, they would design it with more clearance.
hopefully I don't have to use it. first pull works if she's warm.
if she's cold.. that pull isn't going to do it..

Check for correct bolt length
