Checking Spark Plugs
To see if the spark plugs being used are of
the proper heat range (after the snowmo-
bile has been operated under normal driv-
ing conditions), remove the spark plugs
and examine the condition of the center
electrode insulator of each spark plug.
AO352A
A. TAN or LIGHT BROWN insula-
tor indicates correct spark plugs
(heat range).
B. LIGHT GRAY or WHITE insula-
tor indicates over-heating of the
engine. This condition is caused by
a too lean condition or incorrect
spark plugs (heat range too hot).
C. BLACK insulator indicates fuel
in the combustion chamber is not
burning completely. This condi-
tion is caused by a too rich con-
dition, too much oil, or incorrect
spark plugs (heat range too cold).

NOTE: If the center electrode insu-
lators are light gray, white, or black
and if the carburetor adjustments,
oil-injection pump synchronization,
and ignition timing are correct, dif-
ferent heat-range spark plugs may
be necessary. Authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealers have detailed
spark plug information. Consult a
dealer before changing spark plugs,
as incorrect heat-range spark plugs
could cause poor engine perfor-
mance or engine damage.
