On the last day of riding coming down the trail turned sled off to let things cool down. Then went to start it and could hear the starter solenoid engage and the starter spinning but it was not turning the motor over. I can tell all 4 stroke owners this is not a good feeling. On a good not with the engine warm I was able to start the motor with the old rope trick on the primary. Had to pull pretty hard but it did fire back up.
Wondering if any others have had to problem and what they found.
Pretty sure I have to loosen the rear motor mounts to get to the dam starter its not in a very handy spot to work with.
8400km, on the sled so I am not shocked that it failed. 270 mcx, 0/40w amsoil build for those that will ask. The annoying part was no notice. It was not not dragging, turning slowly, any of the usual indicators that it was about to fail. If it had failed when the motor was cold at altitude I am not sure what I would have done.
Lets hear your experiences with this gremlin.
