Adjusting/Calibrating
Carburetors (570 cc)
0745-141
The carburetors have been adjusted/cali-
brated at the factory for average riding
conditions; however, altitude, tempera-
ture, and general wear may necessitate
certain carburetor adjustments.
Carburetor adjustments critically affect
engine performance; therefore, the fol-
lowing three external adjustments and
two internal calibrations can be made on
each carburetor.
CAUTION
After operating the snowmobile for
the initial 5-10 minutes, stop the
engine, allow the engine to cool
down, and check the coolant level.
Add coolant as necessary.
CAUTION
If the coolant is below the FULL
COLD mark and if coolant has been
added, immediately inspect for leak-
age and/or damage. If leakage or
damage is detected, take the snow-
mobile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for service. If not
under warranty, this service is at the
discretion and expense of the snow-
mobile owner.
CAUTION
For information on altitude operation,
see Varying Altitude Operation sub-
section in the Operating Instructions
section.
CAUTION
Make sure to perform these adjust-
ment/calibration procedures on both
carburetors.
