Testing

Oil-Injection Pump

1. Clamp off the oil-supply hose between the oil

reservoir and oil pump; then remove the supply

hose from the pump.

2. Attach a suitable length of oil-supply hose to the

oil pump; then using Oil Injection Usage Tool (p/n

0644-007), fill the hose with Arctic Cat 50:1

Injection Oil.

„

NOTE: On APV equipped engines, use Arctic Cat

Synthetic APV 2-Cycle Oil (p/n 2639-512).

AE108

„

NOTE: When filling the oil-supply hose with oil,

do not insert the usage tool until it is tight in the
hose. There must be enough room around the tip
of the tool and the hose to allow air in the hose to
escape.

3. Fill the usage tool with recommended oil to the 0

line.

4. Wipe the tip of the tool to remove excess oil; then

attach the tool to the oil-supply hose and remove

the bulb.

5. Secure the tool to the oil reservoir by twisting the

rubber strap one half turn and placing the rubber

strap around the tool and the oil reservoir filler

neck.

6. Start the engine and run the engine at 3000 RPM

for 3 minutes with the control arm in the FULL-

CLOSED position. Compare the amount of oil

used against the specifications on the chart.

7. Using a stiff wire, pull the oil-injection control

arm to the FULL-OPEN position. Run the engine

at 3000 RPM for 2 minutes. Compare the amount

of oil used against the specifications on the chart.

* Specifications not available at time of 
   publication.

8. If the oil-injection pump output does not meet the

specifications, see Testing Oil-Injection Check

Valves in this sub-section.

9. Disconnect the oil usage tool, remove the plug

from the reservoir, attach the oil-supply hose to

the oil reservoir, and remove the vacuum pump.

10. Bleed the oil-injection system (see Bleeding Oil-

Injection System in this sub-section).

! WARNING

Always wear safety glasses when performing this
test.

! WARNING

Keep hands and clothing away from all moving or
rotating parts.

Testing Oil-Injection

Check Valves

In the event there is an engine problem due to lack of

lubrication, the oil-injection pump check valves should

be tested using a vacuum pump to make sure the check

valves are operating properly.

When testing the check valves, remove them from the

pump assembly.

1. Remove the check valves from the oil-injection

pump.

731-551A

2. Attach the vacuum test pump hose to the check

valve.

3. Squeeze the vacuum pump handle and watch the

pump gauge. The check valve should release at

4.5-5 lb and again reset itself at 3.5-4 lb. If

“release” and “reset” are not within specifications,

replace the check valve.

4. Record the “release” and “reset” readings for the

valve; then perform the test on the other valve.

The “release” and “reset” readings must fall within

specifications and must be within 1.5 lb of each

other. If either or both are not met, replace the

check valves.

5. If the check valves are within specifications but

the oil-injection usage is not, replace the oil-

injection pump.

Fuel Pump

(Carbureted Models)

„

NOTE: When servicing a fuel pump, determine

which style pump is being serviced and follow the
appropriate procedure.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS

1. Make sure the gas tank shut-off valve is in the

OPEN position.

2. Make sure there is adequate gasoline in the gas

tank.

3. Make sure all hoses are clear and free of kinks and

obstructions.

4. Make sure the fuel filter is not plugged or

damaged.

5. Make sure fuel and impulse hoses are in good

condition.

6. Make sure there is evidence of good impulse at the

crankcase impulse fitting.

TESTING PRESSURE

1. Connect a pressure gauge between fuel pump and

carburetor using a piece of fuel hose and a T-

fitting.

2. Place snowmobile on a safety stand and start the

engine. At the following engine speeds, the

specified pressures must be indicated.

3. Remove gauge and hose and connect fuel hose to

carburetor.

TESTING VACUUM

„

NOTE: Make sure adequate fuel is in the carbure-

tor for this test.

1. Turn the gas tank shut-off valve to the CLOSED

position; then disconnect fuel supply hose from

the shut-off valve.

2. Connect a vacuum gauge directly to the fuel pump

inlet fitting.

Air-Intake Silencer

(One-Piece Style)

The air-intake silencer is a specially designed compo-

nent used to silence the incoming fresh air and also to

catch the fuel that “spits back” out of the carburetors.

The carburetors are calibrated with the air-intake

silencer in position; therefore, the engine must never

be run with the air-intake silencer removed.

CLEANING AND INSPECTING

1. Check for holes or cracks in the silencer.

2. Periodically clean the silencer by blowing fresh air

through it.

Air-Intake Silencer

(Cover/Tool Tray Style)

The air-intake silencer is a specially designed compo-

nent used to silence the incoming fresh air and also to

catch the fuel that “spits back” out of the throttle body/

carburetors. The throttle body/carburetors are cali-

brated with the air-intake silencer in position; there-

fore, the engine must never be run with the air-intake

silencer removed.

CLEANING AND INSPECTING

1. Check for holes or cracks in the silencer.
