In-Line Fuel Filter
(Carbureted Models)
Arctic Cat recommends that the in-line
fuel filter be checked weekly. The in-
line fuel filter is located just in front of
the fuel pump inlet fitting. The filter
must be clean to allow the fuel hose to
transmit the amount of gasoline
required.
If the in-line fuel filter is obstructed,
gasoline flow will be restricted; there-
fore, the filter must be replaced. To
remove and install the in-line fuel fil-
ter, use the following procedure:
1. Pinch off the fuel hose between the
gas tank and fuel filter.
2. Remove the clamps; then pry the
fuel hoses off the in-line fuel filter
and remove the filter.
 NOTE: The in-line fuel filter must
be replaced if obstructed. Filters
are available from an authorized
Arctic Cat Snowmobile dealer.
3. Install the in-line fuel filter in the
fuel hose so the arrow on the filter
points toward the fuel pump. Make
sure the fuel hoses fit tightly on
the filter. If the existing fuel hose
does not fit tightly on the filter, cut
6 mm (1/4 in.) from the end of the
fuel hose; then install on the filter
and secure with the clamps.
MAINTENANCE
The fuel hoses must fit tightly on
the fuel filter. If the fuel hose length
doesn't permit this procedure,
replace the fuel hose. Also, after
installing the fuel hoses on the fil-
ter, check to be sure that the fuel
hoses do not contact any hot or
rotating components.
In-Line Fuel Filter
(1100 cc Models)
Arctic Cat recommends that the in-line
fuel filter be checked weekly and
replaced every 5000 miles. The in-line
fuel filter is located just inside the left-
side access panel. The filter must be
clean to allow the fuel hose to transmit
the amount of gasoline required.
If the in-line fuel filter is obstructed,
gasoline flow will be restricted; there-
fore, the filter must be replaced. To
remove and install the in-line fuel fil-
ter, use the following procedure:
Since the fuel supply hose may be
under
safety glasses when removing the
fuel hoses.
Since the fuel supply hose may be
under pressure, remove it slowly
to release the pressure. Place an
absorbent towel around the con-
nection to absorb the fuel.
 NOTE: Before removing the fuel
filter, take note of the filter inlet
and outlet for installing purposes.
1. Open the left-side access panel;
then remove the fuel filter from
728-272B
the bracket.
