Pull start kits are optional when ordering the new summit 850 with electric start. They can be installed at any time (without removing the electric starter).I was wondering if you bought a sled with electric start on it, can you change out for manual/pull start?
Thanks.

So I would to just have to ask the dealer to order the pull start kit?, what about the cutout for the handle on the side panel?
make sure the plastic holder is mounted properly on the metal tab on the chaincase, the gap should be no differentAgree with Dave and Thistledoo - leave the e-start starter, and if you're really worried about weight, remove and replace the stock battery. The battery is well over 50% of the total weight of the e-start system.
I helped add a recoil to my buddy's 850. The biggest pain is getting the right-side cover off the engine. The screws holding it one are really tricky to see, and you need a smaller 1/4" drive torx socket or a screwdriver-style torx tool to get to them, as the bulkhead doesn't allow much room. Also as memory serves, the screws are NOT T-25's, they're T-27's, so you may find yourself slightly stripping a screw if you're using the wrong torx bit.
Once you get the screws out, you need about 3 hands and just the right tilt to get the cover out. Tilt out the bottom and slightly pull it forward towards the nose of the sled and it'll eventually come out. Putting the new recoil in is MUCH easier. It'll slide right in. The most time-consuming part is the self-tapping screws that hold the handle bracket in place.
Once installed, we noticed that the handle and handle bracket pushed out on the panel a bit. Where the panel used to tuck up tight near the gas cap, there's now about a 3/8" gap. Other than that, no issues at all.

u cant do it your self...the flywheel and stator have to come out to get the the bendix. If your going to install the recoil Id leave the E start and dump the monster battery...install a small yusa 5 or so and your gonna be maybe 10 lbs total...and if its really cold and the small battery wont start it for the first cold start yank the rope...this is my plan.
I agree, you should just leave it, however you can remove it yourself, I installed E start to mine last weekend.
I would suggest removing the starter and the battery, leave everything else. this would be easy to do. If you have specific questions, I would be happy to help.
