P700 Pull starter

[Bigseff23]

Has anyone else has the thought of adding a Rincon pull starter to their Pioneer? I feel like it should be a direct bolt on and they're like $30 bucks online. I fell like it might be cheap insurance out in the woods if your starter get full of mud and water or the battery gets weak

Have you ever pull started a Rincon?
It probably will bolt up but I bet it's a pain to grab the handle buried in the middle of the frame.
Let us know if it works though!

Have you ever pull started a Rincon?

Yes, well I mean we tried to.
We tried to do it on at least 3 different machines throughout the years.
We never should have done that.
It wouldn't go back in all 3 times.

I think I will leave this alone, @JTW take it away!

The trick to pulling on it is to spit in your hand first!

On the older 420s you had to add a relay to keep power in the system to run the fuel pump.

If the battery is dead, you'd have a hard time getting enough power to run all the electronics.

Wouldn't a crankcase/stator cover need to be changed?

Oh! am I on the wrong thread?

Good point, injectors need voltage to open.

I have pull started a Rincon. Not fun but better then pushing it back to camp lol. I know it wouldn't work for a 100% dead battery but if it's weak and maybe had 10v or so it might considering your starter take 95% of the power to start it there might be enough for the PCM, fuel pump and injector, i think it might be cheap insurance, I can get the pull stater and flywheel bolt that engages it for under 80 bucks. I think I'm going to try it. So what the hell, I've wasted more money on dumber stuff lol

The units with factory pull starters have ways to start without full voltage. The Ranchers without recoil starters need a condenser and extra regulator to make up for it.

Glad I have a battery jump pack. Saved me several times with the cars and atvs. The prices have really gotten reasonable.

Exactly...

 

[FeelinRecless]

Jump pack is a good idea. I have one, but never really thought to throw it in when going for a ride. I also don't have any added power accessories though, except for a reverse light.

Haven't thought this out...but...has anyone put a belt driven alternator on a 700 or 1000? Maybe off a drive shaft that could charge when you are moving? I suppose the 2nd battery might be plenty of power if there isn't too much winching going on. Just a thought.

All this talk about adding stuff has got me thinking...🤔 wonder if I could add an ice machine and a blender so I could make frozen daiquiris when I get stuck, or somebody else gets stuck or broke or whatever, you know how the trails can be. Just not sure where to store the booze.🤔

Just so we're clear on this......how big a blade could you put on said blender?

Well, it depends, the size of the blades is determined by the size of the ice cubes the ice maker makes.

Ya know...you can make Bloody Mary's without out ice...what my people call "roughin it".
