General
The drive pulley is factory calib rate d t o
transmit maximum engine power at a
predefined RPM. Factors such as am-
bient temperature, altitude or surface
condition may vary this critical engine
RPM thus affecting snowmobile effi-
ciency.
This adjustable drive pulley allows set-
ting maximum engine RPM to main-
tain maximum power.
Calibratio n screws sh ou ld be adjuste d
so that actua l maximum engine RPM
matches the maximum horsepower
RPM.

There are 6 positions numbered 1 to 6.
Each position modifies maximum en-
gine RPM by about 200 RPM.
Lower position numbers decrease en-
gine RPM in steps of 200 RPM and
higher position numbers increase it in
steps of 200 RPM.
Example:
Calibration screw is set at position
4andischangedtoposition6. So
maximum engine RPM is increased
by 400 RPM.
