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.

NOTICE: 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.

Carburetor Adjustments

The frequency at which the carburetors are synchronized or balanced is

important. Properly adjusted carburetors can greatly improve engine

performance, fuel economy, engine life, and reliability.
If you notice any of the following conditions, the carburetor may need

adjustment:
• Hard starting
• Poor idle
• Overheated pistons and cylinder walls
• Plug fouling
• Poor engine response to various throttle valve openings
