Honestly the 800 etec is pretty damn hard to start. After starting my 800 etec all year when I hop on a a buddy's Polaris 800 it feels like there is something wrong with the engine the Polaris is so easy to pull. The only thing that makes it decent to pull over is that it fires on the first downstroke so the rest of the pull gets easier. But forget to turn off the kill switch and you'll be reminded that that engine has a ton of compression. And at -25 it takes a serious effort to get it going.
That said, I have a pull start and if I was to get another I'd get a pull start.
That's cause it's probably ready to blow up!
