nyskidooerinnewhampshire Posted January 15, 2021 Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 "More information required about the tall boots and short pants....lol"..I second that motion. Minus 40C +-...Today's ski-doo is not starting with the inferior quality relays they outfit the machines with. I definitely would have been seeking out the porter asking for a lengthy extension cord, or two, a hairdryer, and warm hands to fire up the machine. Did you have to pull the plugs and drop gas in the port to fire her up? No synthetic oil? Must have been like pulling a heavy linked chain through wet cement.
