LT80 pull start
 

Currently my LT80 does not have a pull start only electric start. The starter has started to not engage every time so I feel A new starter is coming soon. Has anyone ever installed the pull start as a back up ? On a side note when I buy a new starter is everyone buying the $20.00 starter of Ebay or is there a better option. I dont mind spending the money if it is worth it.

Thanks

Yes...I have the pull start...and it works rather well...ebay starter is fine...

is it just a matter of removing the cover and bolting on the recoil pull start? Seems like it would make sense to have for a back up if it is simple and cost effective to add it.

Simply, yes...cost effective...that's debatable...

I think every electric start wheeler should have another way to get it going (my Scrambler does)...let's face it...a car having a battery failure on the side of the road is not the same as an atv dying in the middle of nowhere...

You are correct...very simple install...

You must use the gasket from the cover to the pull start. It acts like a spacer.
