Replacing/fixing a pull start/recoil Rope and Handle on just about Any ATV.

In this video, Im inexpensively replacing/fixing a pull start/recoil rope and handle on an ATV. This process is applicable too many makes and models. This particular machine is a 1999 Polaris Sportsman 500. I'll also explore and explain some of the other inner workings, for those maybe trouble shooting other issues involving this. While Ive already removed the plastics, (In a previous video.) to make this and a bunch of other repairs and maintenance easier. You'll likely at least need to remove your foot rest/platform to get at all the bolts and remove the cover. Parts may vary but the concept for the rope and handle replacement is pretty universal. Hope you find it helpful. The link for what I used in the video is below. You may need to copy and paste if the link is not active. Also check out the many other videos and playlists.
