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.

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).

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.

A hydrometer measures the charge of a battery in

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
(10°F) below 27°C (80°F).

When testing the different magneto components,
it is important to take into consideration that read-
ings vary according to the force applied onto the

enough force upon each trial.
The reading must be 3 times within or above the
range indicated in the corresponding table. If the
reading is too low, the part is considered to be de-
fective and it must be replaced.

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.

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.
4. Rotate the drive pulley clockwise, one-quarter

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).

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.

INSPECTION OF AC CIRCUIT
INSULATION
If AC circuit is not insulated from frame, headlamp
beam will weaken.
INSPECTION
Disconnect regulator/rectifier.
Connect one digital ohmmeter probe (needle ohm-
meter will not offer enough precision) to frame and
other probe to YELLOW wire (2-MO).
Measured resistance must be infinite. If such is
not the case, it means there is a connection be-
tween AC circuit and frame.
Disconnect one accessory at the time to identify
the faulty circuit.
INSPECTION OF HEATING
