Description
The project concerns the Minnesota State University Mankato Automotive Engineering Technology Program's entry to the 2003 Clean Snowmobile Challenge. Included in this presentation is the snowmobile model chosen for modification, engine choice, modifications applied, methods used, modification results affecting performance, emission control, noise reduction, production cost, durability, fuel efficiency, safety, and rider comfort. The MSU Mavericks devoted their main focus for the 2003 Clean Snowmobile Challenge to the comparison of a twostroke cycle carbureted engine versus a two-stroke direct fuel injected engine. A Polaris 500 cc was tested with stock carburetors and then retrofitted and tested with a Direct Injection System. Each engine was tested for emissions, noise, and performance; these test results were then compared and weighed for advantages and disadvantages.
