problems with RX1 starter drives????????

[northern summit]

Mine left me stranded expensive chopper ride out .Could not start
manually. Starter ran just didn`t turn the motor over?
Anyone replaced the drive does not look like a conventional starter drive.
Does the drive press off with the ring gear?Anyone have torque specs for
the flywheel? not today

You can pull the starter on the hill and pull start the sled using a piece of webbing around the primary. They start pretty easy if they are not flooded.

used a piece of starter rope would not start ,my sled does not start that easy .
You have actually done it yourself?

would have worked at it alot harder but did not think it could be done

There are a few posts of people successfully starting an RX with a strap wrapped around the primary. I carry a strap but have not tried it.

There is even a video linked from this site of a guy doing it on his new Nytro.

While a cold turbo rx1 may start with the rope, mine when warm seems to need to turn over more then you could possibly do with a rope before it will flash. for a $1000 bucks i would wait till it was cool and try.

tried warm and after sitting for a couple hours
kinda glad I did not start it found the bolt heads and one was in the
bottom of the crank case wouldn`t have wanted to start it with that in there.........
