being used. See pages 65-66 for fuel information and recommendations.
Make sure the correct resistor is installed for your fuel choice as
instructed below.

To achieve maximum performance, install this resistor to the ECU fuel
designation connector when using:
Non-ethanol gasoline with a 91+ octane rating

This resistor must be installed when using:
Whenever in doubt of your fuel purchase, use the “10% ETHANOL”
resistor as a safeguard.
The resistor is installed into the wiring harness on the left side of the
snowmobile just above the top of the oil bottle. To change resistors,
unplug the resistor and rotate it to align and install the appropriate plug
