Perfect Video! Thank you!! Very Simple but direction was needed since I have never done a full replacement.

excellent video. We did not tighten down the middle bolt super tight because it keeps it from snapping back, We used blue threadlock once you find that "sweet spot" and make sure to test it before putting the cover back on the flywheel to make sure you can pull the string and it snaps back the way it should.

I just had the same problem, but I put a washer below the plate (same bolt but under plate) and it worked perfectly. This stopped it from pinching and allowed it to recoil

Just what I needed to complete a repair. Thanks for the vid...

That is an excellent no-nonsense video.

My new spring did not have an open ended clamp. When I cut the retaining wire, the hook was past the slot. While moving the hook around to the slot, SPROING!! A bird nest. Now I'm watching vids on rewinding the spring, lol.

Thanks man I fixed my Polaris because of u

Thanks for the vid. Simple & precise

Great vid easy to follow

Excellent tutorial. Thank YOU!!!

Great, helpful vid! As soon as he said ‘Polaris recoil stahtahs’ I knew this was NH. We moved to VA not too long ago, and man I didn’t think I would miss home or the accent this soon lol. The other thin I miss about NH is no sales tax(or INCOME tax!!). Also seems like there are 3-4x the amount of used ATV’s up there, for less $ than here. And oh ya, NO F IN SALES TAX! Haha happy riding

Alloutofdonuts hahaha! Check out our other videos for your accent fix, lol.

So this will probably help many people out there . I bought a after market kit. It looks the same as the one in the video. You put it all together and the ratchet arm does not engage!!. I took it apart many times just confused why it wasn't engaging. Well I brought the friction spring to the vise and pinch it a bit more that it was very tough to put on the plate. It stays in place and worked perfectly after. I hope this helps someone . I saw a comment on here that a guy had the same problem but no one got back to him. That was 4 years ago. I'm sure he figured it out by now . lol

I’m having the same problem now. It’s all together but the arm won’t engage. How will pinching the friction spring help?

I’m putting mine together too. I cannot get it to engage. If I do, the rope won’t retract. I saw someone mention a “sweet spot”! I cannot find it! HELP!

Seems like a poor design; if you have to leave the bolt loose to allow it to retract. Loctite will help but I like it when bolts work as intended, without the smurf pee. I’m not sure how long the loctite will keep the bolt from loosening(or tightening it seems), hopefully for a long time but who knows. I wondered if a thin washer on the threaded post that sticks out would help any.

Awesome stuff Dude... Saved me a big headache...

Sean Smith - glad to help! We figured a step by step vid on this would be helpful!

Thank You very much. very helpful.

Great video!

great vid, I just wish it covered what to do if it tightens down too much. If I loosen it where it will snap back the bolt is only finger tight.

I used this video to put mine back together after i took it apart to try ti fix it. Now it works like new! Thank you! Great video!

any idea why oil would have filled the area where my pull start is on my Magnum 330 2x4?

great vid

This video helped me out a bunch. Good thing I only had to tie a knot on the old rope and not replace the spring.

So, how come when I tighten..or snug the bolt down, the pulley sticks when its supposed to reel the pull rope back in, BUT if I leave the bolt loose, it's works fine...(I know that bolt WILL fall out if I keep it loose). I actually added grease to the pulley, spring, friction clip, etc.

Should add lube up the metal friction plate so the dawg comes out, and if you don’t grease the plastic bushing. The pull cord won’t go all the way in either. Learned these the hard way lol

What did u use for the clamp.. looks like a large snap ring...great video

Any links or the gasket kit? I’m having extreme difficulty find the part number

do you have this for an '01 Xplorer two stroke?

Where did you get that recoil spring clamp!? Having a heck of a time trying to get that spring wound up, and in place without that clamp.

Hey Jordan - our kit comes with the spring inside the clamp so ti's ready to go. You might be able to get just that clamp from Polaris if that's all you need, but you'd have to check out your local dealer for pricing & availability

Very nice👍👍

How long should the rope be ?

I followed your directions to a T but for some reason my dog leg won’t kick out to engage flywheel. I have the clip on the friction cup parallel like you showed. What else could be wrong that it doesn’t wanna kick out?

Could possibly be that you tightened the bolt down too much. Make sure it's lubed/ well greased. If you're still running into problems, text us at 603-329-9901 and we'll connect you with a tech

What bike was this for? I need that exact cover

where can i buy these parts / kit?

I replaced my rope and reassembled but in won't engage on the engine. the arm and spring seems right.

You made it look way easier to get that rope through than it is. Also I didn't get a gasket in my kit. No biggie but just a fyi

what happens if you get the recoil spring upside down/ back to front?

Hey Rich - you have to recoil it the right way. This will probably be a big PITA but that's the only thing to do. We had to do it a bunch of times to get this video so we know your pain!

The friction plate spring has to be the opposite of this video, the 2 prongs should be on the left from my experience.
