i have a 06 350 rancher i want to know if u can take the pull starter off and leave it off without water entering ur motor

what are the advantages and disadvantages of haveing a pull starter and not haveing a pull starter?

i can always push start it if battery dies

 

why the hell would you take it off, needed for valve adjustment, if its an es your not push starting either

well cuz i dont really use it and water and mud goes in it and when u go pull the rope it gets stuck out and dosent want to go back in

 

everytime i ever tried push starting a honda fourwheeler it neva happened so just as well leave the recoil on and water can get in

 

the problem with the honda recoils is that they are near the back bottom of the engine

they do leak in water and mud... slowly but most of the time surely.

you can always take off your recoil and install a recoil remove kit.

Highlifter sells such kits which covers the removed recoil pull.

personally i dont know what way is the better way to go

 

Almost all the auto clutch hondas wont give spark, unless it sees a nuetral light, so bump starting isnt posible unless you do the false neutral light. The sport quads...like 400ex 300ex, 450r can be bump started.
