Hi Folks,
I have a 2002 MXZ 500 Fan that has been sitting for a while. Two years in a row have been tough here in New Hampshire with very little snow. I did not even ride one day last winter and I was beginning to think this year would be the same. Well we finally got a Nor'easter with 2+ feet of snow so I pulled out my sled and tried to start it. After about a half dozen pulls the start cord will not retract back in. I called the local dealer hoping that I could get it in to the shop before the weekend, but apparently the snow storm has every one else thinking the same thing - the guy is buried with calls and can't help me until next week sometime.
While I am certainly no mechanic, I do have at the very least some mechanical aptitude. If the fix is not too involved, I could probably do it myself. Can anyone give me a clue on where to start. Any advice is much appreciated - thanx, Harry
