Transporting the Vehicle Make sure that oil reservoir and fuel tank caps are properly installed. Tilt bed trailers can easily be equipped with a winch mechanism to afford maximum safety in loading. Simple as it may seem, never drive your snow- mobile onto a tilt bed trailer or any other kind of trailer or vehicle.
– Reduce snowmobile speed and run snowmobile in loose snow or stop en- gine immediately. – Check for adequate coolant level. See an authorized SKI-DOO dealer. FUEL FLOODED ENGINE 1. Never depress throttle while starting engine, even if flooded with gas.
Page 70
Start engine with spark plug(s) grounded to engine away from spark plug hole. If no spark appears, replace spark plug. If trou- ble persists, contact an authorized SKI-DOO dealer. 6. Engine compression. – As the engine is pulled over with the rewind starter, “cycles” of resistance should be felt as piston goes past top dead center (each piston on multi- cylinder engines).
Page 71
– Clean/verify spark plug gap and identification number. Replace as required. 4. Too much oil supplied to engine. – Improper oil pump adjustment, refer to an authorized SKI-DOO dealer. 5. Water in fuel. – Drain fuel system and refill with fresh fuel.
