Turbo starting.

Old school trouble light under the hood for the night they start like they’re warmed up.

Need to be careful though, that is how bellypans/wires get melted through or fires started. They get HOT.

If a guy can’t pull over a sled I really question his ability to ride it... is this a joke? April fools already?

Now that’s a donkey attitude. Don’t be a donkey, donkey.

I pondered all this when the SHOT first came out! I wasn't pulling the cord. I didn't even want to start it once and at that time I wasn't concerned that I couldn't, I just didn't want to. There was also the thought about driving to breakfast and possibly having the sled being outside for an hour or an hour and a half. Would I have to pull start it again. I decided that I was a wussy and I have electric start on all our sleds. When the Expert came out, the SHOT was all that was included. I got the dealer to put on ES (that in itself was a long story). I totally understand about not liking sleds that do not pull over easy and particularly on the colder days.

The light under the hood or a blow dryer would work. We used to use trouble lights up north in the day and they were the cat's meeeooooow (how is that Ozone guy!!). Drive to work and plug in and at 4 o'clock the motor was nice and warm. It is true about being careful about melting things or something catching fire.

And yes, I am a little out of breath when I tie my boots.

Oh yah they will melt stuff! But we would stick them under the y pipe of our sleds nothing there to melt

Good day. Another good day . 80km And shovel for 2 hours fixing trail up the horse trail that was a total wreck . Other people stuck in creek dug holes to dirt. Was fixed. I think I can hold my own. Be safe.

The Shot capacitor may operate at a different voltage than a typical battery. And even fully charged may not itself have the grunt for a cold motor.

Still gets charged off a 12v stator, step it to whatever voltage you want.

As soon as polaris comes out with a turbo, Skidoo will have the 110V plug in to charge option. That might take a while. LOL

 

[skegpro]

12v would work best.
Be good as backup incase the recoil stops working.
Little lithium battery booster pack to charge the capacitor and your back in business.

Not something I would use every trip, but I like the option.

Just come to the staging area dressed like this. Pretend to have trouble starting your sled, before you know it you will have a group of young guys helping you....

I think there’s a little bit of jealousy here, everyone offering help to this old boy but no one will start your sled for you lol
