Has anyone ever retrofitted a pull start onto an electric start 1986 Bayou 300 (or similar). When I picked up this machine was kind of shocked it did not have a pull or kick start, just electric. Would seem like a good backup in the case the electric start wasn't working in a jam.

 

Couldn't say either/ or, but I'd imagine that the parts would fit from later models. that certianly is unusual to not have a backup kick or yank. I thought manufacturers just started doing that around 2002...........

 

my kid has an 86,they say your cant put a pull start on these animals.at least the shop i deal with says you cant.i say if you got the parts there you should be able to do it

Hmm- for some reason that wounds eerily familiar, that you can't put a pull start on it. B4 ya dive in and order parts check everything out and ask around, invest in a manual. And let us know what ya find out...........
