Bottle Neck ADD Mark The oil bottle cap is vented to allow proper oil flow. See your POLARIS dealer for recommended replacement parts. Carburetion NOTICE: Making non-recommended adjustments could result in vehicle or engine damage as well as denial of warranty claims. We recommend that all carburetor adjustments be performed by your POLARIS dealer. Proper carburetor adjustment is critical. A lean mixture (too much air, too little fuel) may result in piston burning, bearing failure, or complete engine failure. A rich mixture (too much fuel, too little air) may foul plugs and cause generally poor engine performance. A lean mixture may be caused by things like fuel line restrictions, foreign matter in the carburetor or clogged fuel filters. A rich mixture may be caused by snow build-up on the pre-filter in the air intake system. Either condition may be caused by improper carburetor adjustment. 57

Carburetion
NOTICE:

Proper carburetor adjustment is critical. A lean mixture (too much air,
too little fuel) may result in piston burning, bearing failure, or complete
engine failure. A rich mixture (too much fuel, too little air) may foul
plugs and cause generally poor engine performance.
A lean mixture may be caused by things like fuel line restrictions,
foreign matter in the carburetor or clogged fuel filters. A rich mixture
may be caused by snow build-up on the pre-filter in the air intake
system. Either condition may be caused by improper carburetor
adjustment.
