Borrowed from Snowride at http://atvfrontier.com/postt2910.html
Now that some of you are faced with the coldest conditions of the year, I thought it my be wise to tell you about this little trick which may get you out of a no start situation. This is only good for quads equipped with a pull starter and you need to have another person available. If you hit the starter and do not really have enough juice to be able to crank the engine over properly to start, simply ask the other person to push the starter at the same time you pull the crank. The combined effort will make the engine spin over like it was almost summer. Grab the pull start and put some effort into it. Once engaged and the pressure is applied, have the other person push the starter button and pull like your life depended on it. Who knows, depending on your situation, it just may.
I have made this a sticky until the temps warm up and will unstick when they do.
