PERFORMANCE TIPS

47

NOTE: If the offset is out of spec-

ification, take the snowmobile to
an authorized Arctic Cat Snowmo-
bile dealer for drive system evalua-
tion and/or servicing. This service
is at the discretion and expense of
the snowmobile owner.

DRIVE

CLUTCH/DRIVEN

PUL-

LEY PARALLELISM — If prema-
ture drive belt wear is experienced or if
the drive belt turns over, parallelism
must be checked. Also, parallelism
must be checked whenever either the
drive clutch or driven pulley is ser-
viced.

NOTE: For checking parallelism,

it is necessary to use Clutch Align-
ment Bar (p/n 0644-509). This spe-
cial tool can be purchased from an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer.

To check parallelism, use the following
procedure.

1. Remove the drive belt; then open

the driven sheaves and place
clutch alignment bar between the
sheaves. Release the sheaves.

2. Check the parallelism of the drive

clutch/driven pulley using the par-
allelism bar and reference points X
and Y with the parallelism bar
between the driven sheaves. Using
a caliper or a machinist’s scale,
measure X and Y from the back
side of the parallelism bar to the
back side of the drive clutch
sheave. Measurement Y must be
0.060 in. ± 0.020 in. more than
measurement X, but Y must not
exceed measurement X by more
than 0.100 in.

0744-609

3. If parallelism is not within specifi-

cations, the parallelism must be
corrected by first loosening all the
engine mounting bolts (left side,
front, and right top rear). Then, pry
the front of the engine towards the
MAG-side of the engine compart-
ment. Next tighten the left-side
mounting bolts followed by the
front and right-top rear bolts. Re-
check the parallelism. If still out of
specification,

repeat

correction

procedure.

GASOLINE — On the 600/1000 cc
models for optimum performance, do
not exceed the recommended 87 octane
gasoline. Using a higher octane gaso-
line will not increase overall perfor-
mance. On the 800 cc models for
optimum performance, use 91 octane
(minimum) gasoline.
