Fuel Level Sensor; Oil Level Gauge; Electric Starting Motor - Arctic Cat Cougar Service Manual

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FUEL LEVEL SENSOR
Some models are equipped with an electric
fuel level gauge located in the instrument con-
sole. A sensor and float assembly, mounted in the
fuel tank, sends an electrical signal to the fuel
gauge.
To replace the fuel level sensor, observe the
following:
1. Remove and drain the fuel tank as described
in Chapter Six or Chapter Seven.
2. Remove the screws and washers securing the
sensor to the fuel tank.
· 3. Remove the sensor and gasket. Discard the
gasket.
4. Reverse the removal procedure to install the
fuel level sensor. Use a new gasket. Tighten the
retaining screws securely and evenly.
OIL LEVEL GAUGE
All models are equipped with a warning light
on the instrument console to indicate when oil in
the engine lubrication reservoir reaches a dan-
gerously low level. The sender is located in the
oil tank (Figure 44).
To replace the low oil level sender, proceed as
follows:
1. Open the hood.
2. Disconnect wires from the electrical connec-
tor.
3. Pull the sender (Figure 44) from the tank.

4. The sender is installed by pushing it into
place. Replace the sealing grommet if it is dam-
aged or hard.
ELECTRIC STARTING MOTOR
The starter circuit includes the battery, starter
relay and the starter motor. The starter switch is
incorporated in the ignition key switch and the
starter relay is attached to a bracket near the
battery holder. The electric starter is attached to
the front of the engine and engages a ring gear
attached to the drive pulley.
Removal and Installation
1. Open the hood and remove the cover from the
battery.
2. Detach the ground cable from the negative
terminal of the battery. Insulate the cable end so
that it can not accidentally ground the battery.
WARNING
Electrical sparks or unplanned opera-
tion of an electrical device can cause
injury. One method to make sure that the
ground cable can not accidentally make
contact is to insulate the cable end with
tape, hose or similar insulating cover.
Another method is to remove the battery.
3. Remove the drive belt guard, belt and drive
pulley as described in Chapter Thirteen.
4. Remove the nut and lockwasher attaching the
positive cable from the battery, then lift the cable
from the starter terminal.
5. Remove the screw, washer and lockwasher
attaching the rear (right) end of the starter to the
support bracket. Make sure you remove the rub-
ber bumper.
6. Remove the two locknuts attaching the nose
of the starter to the bracket, then lift the starter
motor from the engine compartment.
