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
Good day. Love all the help and other stuff. As I said my friend as trouble pulling the rope. With me it’s a two hand pull and no trouble. Did not want shot at first,love now. Another question are you guys disconning the torsion bar. Working on hooking up sled to truck plug in so shot is ready to go. Will give to all that had good ideas free.??

Should be as simple as splicing into the wiring harness on the downstream side of the rectifier.

Power up everything with 12-14v and let the capacitor charge for a minute.

I do not think that capacitor has the juice to turn over a cold engine. If that experiment goes wrong, it can cost alot of money to replace the electronics, that shot capacitor alone is not cheap.

Just take the dess cord off and pull the engine over 5/6 times to loosen it up before actually trying to start it. That will give the person a idea where the engine TDC is before actually starting it. No different than trying to pull over a big twin or a triple cylinder back in the day on a cold morning. We all have been there.

That’s exactly what I was thinking when a certain donkey pretty much said if you can’t pull it over you pretty much shouldn’t be riding. I remember pulling over my 2002 800 and that thing was a beotch when it was -25 and she was frozen and I was 20 and in shape. Couldn’t imagine and olddd fella trying, that would be hell.

so i haven`t personally looked at a 850 wiring diagram with shot but i have a feeling the shot super capacitors are ran off the 60v circuit like the the direct injectors and fuel pump

So you need a 60v dewalt battery

Bunch of babies! If you think the 850 is hard to pull over you would of never survived in the early 2000’s with the 900 king cats and big bore mod triples especially on a -20 day.

I will guarantee most riders now can not even do 10 full chin-ups, could set the bar lower to 5 chin-ups and still be right 90%.:cool:

No chit hey ? When to cold would pull middle plug and start it on two cylinders.
My 1107 was a bitch to pull over but it started good .
Pull it over slow a few times and then give it the big one and hope rope didn’t break .
Brand of oil made a big difference as well and choke it to stop on last run of the day also helped for starting it cold the next morning.
