is the recoil dented? did it work? not sure what it is for a quad but if you just pull the recoil assembly off and then try it to see if the dogs or spring is fetching up.

I have a Sportsman 500EFI, its not even seen dirt yet (had it about 4 days) and tried the pullstart backup just to see how it worked,its VERY hard to pull on mine, I stopped pulling due toworrying I was going to break the rope.. I wonder if there is some sort of compression release on these? Didnt see anything in the book but MAN, I hope I never have to use that pull starter![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Now if you just do that don't complain if the thing dies and the pull rope could have saved you a long walk IF you had just taken the time to pull the recoil off and inspect it---I'm just sayinnnnn'
