Stevie Wonder’s CUPST , will get out of unfamiliar bush . Will not leave you stranded , and once cranking , you can stay in the unfamiliar bush if you desire ..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poncho Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 15 hours ago, Puzzleboy said: Or "....retaining the emergency start feature is not their business". Might not be their business, but that's what they've effectively done. Just thought it was interesting, and hadn't thought of it before. They could certainly make provision for it on the outside of their clutches. Maybe a new invention..... an adapter that slips over the cup. Could use the Romper Room clutch tool sorta idea. So how do you start a PB equipped 2-stroke with a broken recoil and no e-start? It does happen. How were the trails? Hope you boys weren't trespassing on any Closed trails..... Or a dead battery on 1200....I had a PowerBloc on my 1200 and if the battery died...oh well. Really the rope trick doesn’t work well on a 1200 TRA anyway....especially if cool....like it was Saturday -28c. For the two stroke, might have a 1 in 100 chance at the old hand spin trick if was warm.....otherwise find a Polaris to tow you to BRP dealer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weld a small propeller to the PB Bell cover and you are good to go, just finger prop it like a radio controlled airplane. You are correct, no one thinks of that stuff or even carries and PowerBloc are in it to sell clutches not emergency equipment. i lot of new machines are coming standard with the Powerbloc now....no idea what they have, likely nothing but tab of sort could be incorporated I’m sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 It's only available on the longer track stuff thus far, so probably not many in Ontario (except the Trespass Specials) lol.... 7 hours ago, Frostynuts said: Any user experience on the new doo shot system ?

Puzzleboy Posted January 8, 2018 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Hand cranking a 1200 wouldn't be fun, lol. High compression 4 strokes, no chance. Pretty sure there's no rope in my kit! Did the rope trick on my old ZX800 (rope broke), worked fine. What if it's a Polaris rope that's broken? 3 hours ago, Poncho said: Or a dead battery on 1200....I had a PowerBloc on my 1200 and if the battery died...oh well.

Fortunately it had been running for sometime and motor warm, rope trick worked for me too. It was on the way for the recoil recall anyway but what an f’n pain that was.

Puzzleboy Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 So, Doo Innovation and foresight got you out of a jam , and basically saved your life. Good thing you weren't running a PowerBloc..... you might still be out there in unfamiliar bush. 2 hours ago, Poncho said: Yep I broke the rope on my 2002 MXZ800 as well.

I like unfamiliar bush.....no Doo Innovation got me, and you, into another recall.....how about leaving a good and proven recoil system stock....Doo decided to lighten it up with plastic shit.....great innovation...NOT! They really dropped the ball on that idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzleboy Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Lol. Yeah, the mod added a little heat shield to the muffler to keep heat away from the recoil. Never loved the plastic thing.... steel housings on my old vintage JUNK. Doo isn't PERFECT, geez. (Just the closest of the bunch.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
