Old school trouble light under the hood for the night they start like they’re warmed up.
Turbo starting.

Need to be careful though, that is how bellypans/wires get melted through or fires started. They get HOT.
Now that’s a donkey attitude. Don’t be a donkey, donkey.

I pondered all this when the SHOT first came out! I wasn't pulling the cord. I didn't even want to start it once and at that time I wasn't concerned that I couldn't, I just didn't want to. There was also the thought about driving to breakfast and possibly having the sled being outside for an hour or an hour and a half. Would I have to pull start it again. I decided that I was a wussy and I have electric start on all our sleds. When the Expert came out, the SHOT was all that was included. I got the dealer to put on ES (that in itself was a long story). I totally understand about not liking sleds that do not pull over easy and particularly on the colder days.
The light under the hood or a blow dryer would work. We used to use trouble lights up north in the day and they were the cat's meeeooooow (how is that Ozone guy!!). Drive to work and plug in and at 4 o'clock the motor was nice and warm. It is true about being careful about melting things or something catching fire.
And yes, I am a little out of breath when I tie my boots.

12v would work best.
Be good as backup incase the recoil stops working.
Little lithium battery booster pack to charge the capacitor and your back in business.
Not something I would use every trip, but I like the option.

I think there’s a little bit of jealousy here, everyone offering help to this old boy but no one will start your sled for you lol
