MAINTENANCE

51

NOTE: If the warning icon does

not illuminate, take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for service.

13. If the warning icon illuminates

(from step 12), start the engine.

The warning icon should go out

within five seconds. If it does,

proceed to step 14.

NOTE: If the warning icon does

not go out, shut the engine off
immediately and repeat step 11;
then place the ignition switch to
the ON position and repeat step
13. If the warning icon does not go
out, take the snowmobile to an
authorized Arctic Cat Snowmobile
dealer for service.

14. Shut the engine off and pour the

remaining amount (0.9 l or 1 U.S.

qt) of recommended oil into the

oil reservoir; then proceed to the

appropriate Checking Engine Oil

Level sub-section to verify and

finalize the procedure.

ADJUSTING 

CARBURETOR (Single)

The carburetor has been calibrated at

the factory for average riding condi-

tions; however, altitude, temperature,

and general wear may necessitate cer-

tain carburetor adjustments. 

Be sure

the correct carburetor main jet for

the operating temperature, altitude,

and type of gasoline is being used

(see Selecting Carburetor Main

Jet(s) section).

 Since carburetor

adjustments critically affect engine

performance, Arctic Cat recommends

that all changes in internal carburetor

calibration be made by an authorized

Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer; how-

ever, four external adjustments can be

made on the carburetor. These are the

choke cable travel, piston valve, pilot

air screw, and idle speed screw. Due to

cable “stretch,” it is recommended to

check throttle cable tension periodi-

cally and adjust the swivel adapter as

necessary.

NOTE: Carburetor adjustments

and changing the main jet may be
done by the snowmobile owner if
qualified to do so. If the owner
does not feel qualified, take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arc-
tic Cat Snowmobile dealer for this
service. This service is at the dis-
cretion and expense of the snow-
mobile owner.

Adjusting Choke 

Cable

1. Be sure the ignition switch key is

in the OFF position and the park-

ing brake is set.

2. Loosen the jam nut securing the

choke cable adjuster. Rotate the

choke cable adjuster clockwise

until it bottoms against the brass

plunger cap.
