Regular inspection of drive belts, clutch surfaces, and weights/springs for wear and proper function.
|
Track Tension:
|
Periodic adjustment of track tension for optimal performance and longevity.
|
Carburetor Cleaning:
|
Recommended annually or as needed, especially before storage or if performance issues arise.
|
Fluid Specifications
|
2 Stroke Oil Type:
|
High-quality, NMMA TC-W3 certified or equivalent 2-stroke snowmobile oil.
|
Brake Fluid Type:
|
DOT 3 or DOT 4 hydraulic brake fluid (specific type to be confirmed in manual).
|
Known Issues
|
Common Wear Items:
|
Drive belts, carbides on skis, track lugs, recoil starter components, carburetor seals.
|
Performance Degradation:
|
Can be caused by worn clutches, fouled spark plugs, incorrect jetting, or air leaks in the crankcase.
