well from what i understand this recall doesn't effect how they are towed :-P LOL...

[strangeland2]

:FU: :lol:

[ewelin]

I can't knock cats too much... my doo happened to be pulled out by one last year... of course that's when I ran out of gas :lol: Makes upfor the previous season when i towed my father in laws cat out of the woods. Of course his was motor...

[strangeland2]

Id be lying if i said we didnt travel with a tow strap and jumperr cables. :roll:

[ewelin]

i can understand the tow strap... but jumpers... whats wrong with the pull cord :-P

[strangeland2]

I have a 660... There is no pull cord. ES only.

[ewelin]

my father in law has one as well... but i could have sworn there was a pull corn on it as well... guess i was mistaken though... if there is no pull cord then jumpers make perfect sence.

the 660 4 stroke ? No way you'd pull it, even if it did have a pull starter.

[strangeland2]

You can start the 660 off the clutch with the emergency strap just like a regular two stroke. However i believe it has to still be able to get the charge off the battery (Not positive though). But i have personally started it off the clutch. Pulls over very easily, doesnt start easily but pulls over easy.

EDIT*** Yes its the 660 4 stroke sorry forgot to mention that.
