i use replacement pull start rope for skidoos. i buy it at canadian tire. but you americans dont sled like us up here, look around you should be able to find some.

any tractor shop that sells or works on chain saws has perfect fitting metric rope.

i've used 5.5mm for years on our cement mixer and my 110s.

Ive heard good and bad about the steel cable replacement rope. I perfer the good old rope myself. Bring in a small piece of your old rope to any local hardware, like ACE, Fleet Farm, Runnings, etc. And ask near the small engine dept for 6 feet (thats how much it takes) they sell it by the foot. The rope is made from nylon synthetics, and should have nearly zero stretch to it. It will cost less than 5 bucks when all said and done. Good luck!

i uswd cheap diamond braided rope from canadian tire, and one of the things i would do when i maintained my trike was put some wax on the rope i would go 2 months on a rope riding water bogs( tons of starts after it would swamp out)

Thanks guys the steal sounds good for 10.00 if i get a year out of it thats sweet. Have any of yous used this ?

I just match up the diameter of the rope with some nylon rope from a local farm store. Im good for awhile though, last time i bought a 100ft roll of it for about 8 bucks. Thats enough for about 15 pull starters and a hell of a clothes line!
