BF 650 recoil start doesn't seal too good
 

I pulled my recoil start today for the first time and noticed there is a ton of mud in there. I never noticed, until now, how crappy the recoil handle seals on the recoil housing. The handle on the BF doesn't cup over the recoil housing enough to keep crud out. I imagine the Prairies are like this too. Bad design IMO.
