  • In this Episode of Truck House Life, I'll teach you how to change a recoil on a Skidoo snowmobile. This works for most Skidoos 2008-2018. If your recoil starter stops working or breaks, this is how you put a new one in! It's easy, should take you 30 minutes or less. Enjoy!

    Ah man, the amount of times I’ve had to do this on the side of the trail with a pair of needle nose instead of a good puller. Good on you for always helping other out with info like this!

      A thin piece of rope or string works just as well and takes up less space

    You should have been able to buy a rebuild kit from your local dealer for about $20.00 and it takes about 5 extra min to rebuild and could have saved you $100.00.

    • @TruckHouseLife
      @TruckHouseLife  Před 3 lety +1

      yeah, the shop closed in 20 minutes and all they had was 1 new recoil, no rebuild kit (it was a Friday evening and our friend from the lower 48 came up that weekend literally just to ride, so just wanted it fixed quick).

    My guess is that the guys that designed that exhaust have never replaced springs when it’s -25 or so.
    Just sayin’
