MAINTENANCE
Extended Storage
Engine and Carburetor Protection
Proper preparation of the engine and fuel system is vital to the preven-
tion of rust and corrosion on precision engine parts during storage.
Whenever the machine is stored for a period of more than 60 days, the
engine must be fogged with fogging oil.
1. Always add Carbon Clean to the fuel tank.
2. Run the engine for 10-15 minutes.
3. With the engine still running, turn the fuel valve off and spray the
engine with fogging oil. Follow the instructions on the container.
4. Allow the engine to stop by itself.
If stabilizer is not used, drain the carburetors by removing the water trap
drain plugs. See page 76.
TIP:
Jet restriction caused by improper storage can cause lean conditions and
very poor slow speed driving quality.
Electrical Connections
Replace worn or frayed electrical wire and connectors. Be sure wiring
harness is properly secured away from sharp edges, steering linkage,
moving parts, and hot exhaust parts.
Track and Suspension
Moderate track tension should be maintained during summer storage.
The snowmobile should be supported off the ground to allow the track
to hang freely.
