Checking the spark plugs
The spark plugs are important engine compo-
nents and are easy to inspect. The condition
1
of the spark plugs can indicate the condition of
the engine.
Check the coloration on the white porcelain
insulator around the center electrode. The
ideal coloration at this point is a medium-to-
light tan color for a snowmobile that is being
ridden normally. If any spark plug shows a
distinctly different color, there could be some-
thing wrong with the engine. For example, a
very white center electrode porcelain color
could indicate an intake track air leak or car-
buretion problem for that cylinder. Do not at-
tempt to diagnose such problems yourself.
Instead, take the snowmobile to a Yamaha
dealer for inspection and possible repairs.
