ADJUSTMENT
Skandic WT/SWT Only
Whenever the trigger coil or the magneto flywheel
is removed or replaced, the air-gap between the
trigger coil and the flywheel protrusion must be
checked and adjusted. The purpose of this adjust-
ment is to obtain the minimum clearance between
these parts — without touching at any RPM — so
that the trigger coil produces its proper electrical
output. Ignition timing must also be checked. Re-
fer to IGNITION SYSTEM.
Proceed as follows:
1. Rotate flywheel so that one protrusion aligns
with trigger coil.
2. Using a feeler gauge of 0.45 mm (.018 in) to
0.55 mm (.022 in) thick, check air-gap between
center pole of trigger coil and flywheel protru-
sion.
3. If necessary, adjust by slackening retaining
screws and moving trigger coil toward or away
of protrusion.
4. Retighten screws and recheck air-gap.

COOLING SYSTEM REFILLING


PROCEDURE
Recommended Coolant
Use Premixed coolant - 52°C (- 62°F) (P/N 413 711
802) (16 x 1L). Do not reinstall pressure cap.
CAUTION: To prevent rust formation or freezing
condition, always replenish the system with rec-
ommended premixed coolant.

System Capacity
Refer to TECHNICAL DATA.

Refilling Procedure
Lift front of vehicle until the tunnel is horizontal.
With engine cold, refill coolant tank no. 2 up to
cold level line. Wait a few minutes then refill to
line. Start engine. Refill up to line while engine is
idling until all air bubbles have escaped from sys-
tem (about 4 to 5 minutes). Install pressure cap.
To make sure coolant flows through radiators,
touch them by hand. They must feel warm.
Put back front of vehicle on the ground.
When engine has completely cooled down, re-
check coolant level in coolant tank and refill up to
line.
Check coolant concentration (freezing point) with
proper tester.

INSPECTION
Inspect belt for cracks, fraying or abnormal wear
(uneven wear, wear on one side, missing cogs,
cracked fabric). If abnormal wear is noted, proba-
ble cause could be pulley misalignment, excessive
RPM with frozen track, fast starts without warm-
up period, burred or rusty sheave, oil on belt or
distorted spare belt.
Check the drive belt width. Replace the drive belt
if width is less than the minimum width recom-
mended (see table above).

ROTATION DIRECTION
The maximum drive belt life span is obtained when
the drive belt is installed as shown. This will en-
sure that correct direction of rotation is respected.

DRIVE BELT DEFLECTION


MEASUREMENT
NOTE: The drive belt deflection measurement must
be performed each time a new drive belt is in-
stalled.
NOTE: To obtain an accurate drive belt deflection
measurement, it is suggested to allow a break-in
period of 50 km (30 mi).
Before checking the belt deflection, ensure vehi-
cle has the proper belt (Refer to the application
chart).

Such a plug is used in heavy duty or continuous
high speed operation to avoid overheating.
The hot type plug has a longer insulator nose and
transfers heat more slowly away from its firing
end. It runs hotter and burns off combustion de-
posits which might tend to foul the plug during
prolonged idle or low speed operation.

terms of specific gravity of the electrolyte. Most
hydrometers give a true reading at 27°C (80°F).

In order to obtain correct readings, adjust the initial
reading by adding .004 points to the hydrometer
readings for each 5.5°C (10°F) above 27°C (80°F)
and by subtracting .004 point for every 5.5°C

ACCESSORIES INSTALLATION
On all electric start models: The direct current (DC)
utilizes the snowmobile frame as ground “wire”
while all alternating current (AC) consumers
(lights, heated grips, fuel gauge, etc.) utilize a sep-
arate ground wire.
Never interconnect AC and DC grounds as an AC
voltage drop will result. When installing accesso-
ries on any snowmobile, connect their wires di-
rectly to the YELLOW and YELLOW/BLACK light-
ing coil wires.
Even if manual start models have an AC ground
to the chassis (on voltage regulator), all accesso-
ries utilize a ground wire isolated from chassis.
When an electric starter kit is installed, the voltage
regulator and its ground wire are replaced by a
voltage rectifier/regulator unit permitting a com-
pletely isolated AC circuit.

 WARNING
Never secure electrical wires/cables with fuel
lines. Keep wires away from any rotating,
moving, heating, vibrating or sharp edge.
Use proper fastening devices as required.

Subsection 02 (IGNITION TIMING)

IGNITION TIMING 0
NIPPONDENSO TRIGGER COIL
SYSTEM
Normally ignition timing adjustment should not be
required. It has been set at factory and it should
remain correctly adjusted since every part is fixed
1
and not adjustable. The only time the ignition tim-
ing might have to be changed would be when re-
moving and reinstalling the magneto housing, re-
placing the crankshaft, the magneto flywheel, the
trigger coil or the MPEM. If the ignition timing is
found incorrect, first check for proper crankshaft 2
alignment. This might be the indication of a twist-
ed crankshaft.
The ignition timing can be checked with either the
engine hot or cold. Also, the ignition timing is to
be checked at 3500 RPM with a timing light.
NOTE: Between 3000 and 4000 RPM, the spark
advance does not change. So when checking igni-
tion timing at 3500 RPM, a change in engine
speed within ± 500 RPM will not affect the timing
mark when checked with the timing light.
IMPORTANT: During the first 8 hours the timing
curve is retarded by 2° between 4500 RPM and
maximum RPM. Because checking ignition timing A06E2BA

is done at a lower RPM, this will not affect the TYPICAL


3500 RPM timing specification. There will be no 1. TDC gauge on MAG side

3. Locate the piston TDC position as follows:

a. Slowly rotate the drive pulley back and forth
across TDC while observing the needle. Note
that the needle stops moving only as the pis-
ton is changing direction.
b. Rotate the dial face so that “0” is in line with
the needle when it stops moving.
c. Again, slowly rotate the drive pulley back and
forth across TDC and adjust the dial face to
“0”, until the needle always stops exactly at
“0” before changing direction.
d. “0” now indicates exact TDC.

Such a plug is used in heavy duty or continuous
high speed operation to avoid overheating.
The hot type plug has a longer insulator nose and
transfers heat more slowly away from its firing
end. It runs hotter and burns off combustion de-
posits which might tend to foul the plug during
prolonged idle or low speed operation.

4, Pump Lever ADJUSTMENT


Different engines need different pumps. See iden-
tification on lever no. 4. Prior to adjusting the pump, make sure all carbu-
retor adjustments are completed.
CAUTION: Always mount proper pump on en-
gine. Synchronizing Pump with Carburetor
Because the oil pump is mounted low on engine,
it is very difficult to avoid parallax problem and set
a good adjustment.

Parallax Problem
When adjusting pump lever, since the mechanic can
not view the pump perpendicularly, the adjustment
will not be accurate. Following photos show three
different views of the same properly adjusted pump.

CHECKING OPERATION
Oil Pump
On Vehicle
NOTE: Main oil line must be full of oil. See bleed-
ing procedure above.
Lift rear of vehicle and support with a mechanical
stand. Unplug small oil lines from pump. Start en-
gine and stop it as soon as it fires.
Check that oil in small oil lines has been sucked up
(this will be indicated by a clear section of small oil
lines). Repeat the procedure until this condition is
attained.
Reconnect small oil lines, start engine and run at
idle while holding the pump lever in fully open po-
sition. Oil columns must advance into small oil lines.
If not, remove pump assembly and check the pump
gear and drive shaft (if applicable) for defects, re-
place as necessary. Test pump as describes below.
NOTE: Through normal use, oil level must not drop
in small tubes. If oil drops, verify check valve op-
eration in injection nozzle. Replace as necessary.
Test Bench
Connect a hose filled with injection oil to main line
fitting. Insert other hose end in an injection oil con-
tainer. Using a clockwise rotating drill rotate pump
shaft. Oil must drip from outer fittings while hold-
ing lever in a fully open position. If not replace pump.

2, Check Valve
To verify this check valve, proceed the same as for
checking pump operation on vehicle. First unplug
oil line from check valve. After restarting the en-
gine, check that a clear section in small oil line is
present. Reconnect oil line.
Run engine at idle. Oil column must advance. If the
check valve is faulty, oil column will go back and
forth. Replace if so.

INSPECTION
Inspect belt for cracks, fraying or abnormal wear
(uneven wear, wear on one side, missing cogs,
cracked fabric). If abnormal wear is noted, proba-
ble cause could be pulley misalignment, excessive
RPM with frozen track, fast starts without warm-
up period, burred or rusty sheave, oil on belt or
distorted spare belt.
Check the drive belt width. Replace the drive belt
if width is less than the minimum width recom-
mended (see table above).

ROTATION DIRECTION
The maximum drive belt life span is obtained when
the drive belt is installed as shown. This will ensure
that correct direction of rotation is respected.

Subsection 02 (IGNITION TIMING)

IGNITION TIMING 0
NIPPONDENSO TRIGGER COIL
SYSTEM
Normally ignition timing adjustment should not be
required. It has been set at factory and it should
remain correctly adjusted since every part is fixed
and not adjustable. The only time the ignition tim-
ing might have to be changed would be when re-
placing the crankshaft, the magneto flywheel, the
trigger coil or the MPEM. If the ignition timing is
found incorrect, first check for proper crankshaft
alignment. This might be the indication of a twist-
ed crankshaft.
The ignition timing can be checked with either the
engine hot or cold. Also, the ignition timing is to
be checked at 3500 RPM with a timing light.
NOTE: Between 3000 and 4000 RPM, the spark
advance does not change. So when checking igni-
tion timing at 3500 RPM, a change in engine
speed within ± 500 RPM will not affect the timing
mark when checked with the timing light.
IMPORTANT: During the first 8 hours (4 hours on
Summit models) the timing curve is retarded by 3°
between 4500 RPM and maximum RPM. Be-
cause checking ignition timing is done at a lower
RPM, this will not affect the 3500 RPM timing
specification. There will be no further timing ad-
justment required before and after these hours.
No tools were available at printing time for timing
procedure.

PLASTIC MAINTENANCE AND


REPAIR
MAINTENANCE
Clean the vehicle thoroughly, removing all dirt and
grease accumulation.
To clean use a soft clean cloth and either soapy wa-
ter or isopropyl alcohol.
To remove grease, oil or glue use isopropyl alcohol.
CAUTION: Do not apply isopropyl alcohol or
acetone directly on decals.
CAUTION: The following products must not be
used to clean or wax any of the plastic compo-
nents used on the vehicles:
– gasoline
– brake fluid
– kerosene
– diesel fuel
– lighter fluid
– varsol
– naphtha
– acetone
– strong detergents
– abrasive cleaners
– waxes containing an abrasive or a cleaning
agent in their formula.
Apply wax on glossy finish only. Protect the vehicle
with a cover to prevent dust accumulation during
storage.
CAUTION: If for some reason the snowmobile
has to be stored outside it is preferable to cover
it with an opaque tarpaulin. This will prevent
the sun rays from affecting the plastic compo-
nents and the vehicle finish.
