Hi everyone,
I was wondering what the usual number of pulls to get your SRX started in very cold weather. The past week I had my 2000 SRX (with 1,700 miles) in temps of about -10 overnight. And the next night the temp was about 20. Well my SRX took about 5-6 pulls to get it going. Is that normal?
Thanks,
Zack

when it's that cold I pull the first couple of times very slow just to loosen things up - after the first pull and the recoil finaly pulls the rope back in it starts after a few more

starting srx
Big difference in number of pulls for me if I shut her down the night before with full choke until the engine dies.
This is how I shut her down all the time now.

My sled is taken a ton of pulls to start. like 10 to 15 when cold. As soon as it starts its runs like a top and when warm first pull with a bit of throttle. I replaced a bad stator last year with a used stator and from what I ve read i may have a weak stator.

3 pulls, no matter the temp. always 3 pulls
I know its not an SRX but 5 or 6 sometimes 7 pulls in -10 to -20 to start our Vipers.

0F; 5 - 10 pulls, -20F; take off the jacket
this is what I do when temps drop severly,
1, Full choke, ignition off pull over 2 times
2, Full choke ignition on, fires off perfectly and then leave half choke then to no choke.
When ignition is off and engine is rotated with choke on fuel mixture enters combustion chamber, then when ignition is on and pulled over a pre compressed fuel/air mixture is present incrankcase and cylinder.

I had mine in temps of -27F this last week and I waited tell it got to about -15 and it took about 15-18 pulls! Normally it takes about 5-6 pulls! I also use the choke tell it dies trick......but I didn't on that night it was chilli. I think that they all take more to start when cold, I don't care what anyone says!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
