f7ben Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) Is going to kill me. Motherfucker is almost impossible to start when cold. There are 3 other 1000s in my group and they pull over with half the effort mine does when cold. I've read of other engines being dicks like this one. It's either piece together a cobbled m6/f1000 restart kit or sell the motherfucker. f7ben = owned Edited December 28, 2018 by f7ben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZRSledhead Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I found a more rounded edge aluminum handle made pair of em I owned much easier to pull over when cold. When dead nutz cold, most of them need just the slightest crack of the throttle before they'll start, if not, will flood hard, the F8s tended to need the same slight bit of throttle cold.

Angry ginger Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 (edited) after yanking my 800 over one morning at -30 i decided there will be no more non es sleds for me. that thing prob had 1/3 more hours on it than needed over the 2 seasons i had it because i just didn;t want to shut it off and yank it.

God damn near broke my hand a month ago trying to start it. My right bird finger is still swollen as fuck. Anything remotely new I buy anymore has ES.

The handle definately sucks. It's not a fuel issue. When it's cold I cant even get the motor to roll over 2 times on a pull. I cant believe I havent destroyed the recoil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really love this sled but it would cost me over $500 to put together an estart kit. It's not worth putting that money into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmo Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 My buddy gave up his 1000 crossfire for this reason. He’s got 2 fake hips and just couldn’t do it. I started that thing for him many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
