MAINTENANCE

Carburetor

The number stamped in the end of the main jet indicates the jet size.

The jet installed at the time of manufacture is not necessarily correct

for your elevation. It’s your dealer’s responsibility to make sure the

correct main jet is installed.

CAUTION

Operating the snowmobile with incorrect jetting can result in

serious engine damage. Have your Polaris dealer perform all

carburetor adjustments to ensure all adjustments are done

correctly.
