Step-by-Step Process

  1. Prepare Your Snowmobile Start by parking your sled on a stable, level surface to facilitate the inspection and replacement process.

  2. Side Panel Removal Release the rubber strap and turn the two quarter-turn latches to remove both side panels effortlessly.

  3. Hood Latch Disconnection Disconnect the two hood latches for easy access.

  4. Lift and Remove Hood Slightly lift the hood to access the connector underneath and disconnect it before removing the hood.

  5. Additional Clearance (if necessary) If extra space is needed, the intake can be removed for better accessibility.

  6. Disconnect Spark Plug Leads Carefully detach both spark plug leads while marking them for easy identification.

  7. Clean the Work Area Keep the area around the spark plugs clean to prevent any debris from entering the engine.

  8. Prepare the Spark Plug Wrench Retrieve the spark plug wrench from its holder for use.

  9. Loosen and Remove Spark Plugs Use the spark plug wrench to carefully loosen and remove the two spark plugs from the vehicle.

  10. Electrode Inspection Ensure the electrodes are free from wear and carbon buildup, maintaining sharp outer edges without erosion.

  11. Gap Check and Adjustment Inspect and adjust the spark plug gap if necessary, aiming for a precise 0.027 inches (0.7 mm).

  12. Replacement if Required Should replacement be necessary, opt for the recommended spark plug, part number 3022082.

  13. Install and Torque Spark Plugs Utilize a 13/16-inch crowfoot wrench to install the spark plugs into the engine, applying a torque of 18 to 22 ft-lbs (24-30 Nm).

  14. Reconnect Spark Plug Leads Ensure the spark plug leads are securely reconnected.

  15. Reassemble Intake (if removed)

  16. Reinstall the Hood Ensure the tabs at the front of the hood are engaged properly.
