Carburetors (RST90)
The carburetors are an important part of the
engine and its emission control system, which
require very sophisticated adjustment. There-
fore, carburetor adjustments should be left to
a Yamaha dealer, who has the necessary pro-
fessional knowledge and experience.

High-altitude settings
Operating at high altitude reduces the perfor-
mance of a gasoline engine about 3% for ev-
ery 305 m (1000 ft) of elevation. This is
because there is less air as altitude increases.
Less air means less oxygen available for
combustion.
RS90P / RS90PLT / RST90PGT: Your snow-
mobile utilizes an electronic fuel injection sys-
tem that delivers the optimal air/fuel ratio
required by the engine. Therefore, the fuel in-
jection system does not need to be adjusted,
even for operation at high altitude.
RST90: Your snowmobile can be adjusted to
overcome most of the problems found in high-
altitude riding. Carburetor adjustments are the
most important. Less air at high altitude
makes the air/fuel ratio too rich, which can
cause poor performance. Common problems
are hard starting, bogging, and plug fouling.
Proper carburetion adjustments will correct
the air/fuel ratio. Be sure to have a Yamaha
dealer make these adjustments.
