Jetting Guidelines

Changes in altitude and temperature affect air density, which is the

amount of oxygen available for combustion. In low elevations and cold

temperatures, the air has more oxygen. In higher elevations and higher

temperatures, the air is less dense.

The carburetors are calibrated for an altitude of 0-2000 ft. (0-600 m) and

ambient temperatures between -10_ to +10_ F. (-23_ to -12_ C). Carbu-

retors must be re-calibrated if the snowmobile is operated outside this

production temperature and/or altitude range. The main jet installed in

production is not correct for all altitudes and/or temperatures. See page

96 for more information.

NOTE: It's the owner's responsibility to ensure that the correct jets are

installed in the machine for a geographical area. Be very care-

ful when jetting down in warm weather. As the weather turns

colder it will be necessary to re-jet upward to prevent engine

damage. When selecting the proper main jet always use the

lowest elevation and temperature that is likely to be encoun-

tered.

CAUTION

A main jet that's too small will cause a lean operating condition and may

cause serious engine damage. Jet the carburetors carefully for elevation and

temperature according to the jetting charts in your Owner's Manual Supple-

ment.
