Here is a list of maintenance tips to ensure your snowmobile runs cleaner and more efficiently.
- Use high-grade oil. High-grade oil burns cleaner because of its molecular consistency, which breaks down into harmless particles.
- Make sure the engine is properly tuned to include the proper carburetor jet setting for altitude. A properly tuned snowmobile, like an automobile, runs cleaner and more efficiently because it burns all of the gas completely.
- Change spark plugs at least once during the year. Spark plugs, when used in cold weather, will sometimes foul and will not completely burn the fuel.
- Use a high quality gasoline. High quality gasoline has fewer impurities and results in a cleaner, better running engine.
- Always have your snowmobile inspected by a licensed snowmobile mechanic at the beginning of the season. Like an automobile that has a low tire inflation that results in poor performance, a snowmobile with a poorly tuned track system results in the same poor performance and higher emissions and noise.
- When driving a snowmobile, use caution when accelerating and do not open and close the throttle on a continuing basis. This action results in inefficient burning of the fuel and slightly higher emissions and sound.
- All SSCC approved snowmobiles built after 2002 have SSCC stamped and approved exhaust pipes. Approved exhaust systems have been certified by US Testing Company as meeting required standards. If you must change your exhaust system, ensure that it meets sound standards.
