MAINTENANCE

General Maintenance

Spark Plugs

A new engine can cause temporary spark plug fouling due to the

preservative added during the assembly process. Avoid prolonged idle

speeds, which cause plug fouling and carbonization.
Change the spark plugs every 2000-2500 miles (3200-4000 km).

CAUTION

Using non-recommended spark plugs can result in serious engine

damage. A spark plug with a heat range too high will always

cause engine damage if the engine is operated in conditions more

severe than intended for that plug. Always use the spark plugs

recommended for your snowmobile.

S

Use recommended spark plugs with the proper gap.

S

Use only resistor-type spark plugs.

S

Torque spark plugs to 18-22 ft. lbs. (24-30 Nm).

S

Always carry spare spark plugs.
