I have a 1995 zrt 600. *6.4 mile per gallon. *I have droped the main jets to 350. *It calls for 370. *Plugs look good.
Has anyone else had this problem with this year sled. *I thought I should see atleast 10 miles per gallon. * I will take any help.


Thanks

Maybe you should check you carbs. *clean them and look at your needles and seats. *By changing your jets you should be getting better fuel mileage.

Every cat I have seen has mileage that is similar to that.

come on now Rocketman is that supposed to be a bash?

you cant think that every cat gets right around 6-7 miles a gallon can ya?

there is obviously something wrong with that sled that sled should get at least 10-12 just cruising down the trail

No...not a bash. I have experienced a 96 ZRT 600, two 97 ZRT 600s and a 98 ZL 500, all of which only get between 65 and 70 miles to a tank of fuel. I don&#39;t know exactly how big or small the fuel tanks are on those sleds, but that is what I have seen.

It&#39;s hardly fair to say "all" when your experience is so limited even though it may be accurate. You might have specified your limited experience in the beginning. I don&#39;t have a lot of experience with Cats, basically only one of them. It, however, seems to contradict the idea of poor fuel mileage in Cats. When it is jetted for -20 F I get 13-14 mph. It is better when I can safely jet it for warmer conditions. My Cat is a 550 Panther so I am neither riding a featherweight nor is the track as light as the shorter ones. Oh, my fuel economy is measured with a sled in tow so I am dragging another 200-300 pounds behind as well. I have driven and been loyal to Polaris for years. This AC beats every Polaris I&#39;ve owned for fuel economy.

My Future son in-law has a 97 600 ZRT, and it is getting around 12 mpg. Bone stock, except for stingers, which would not effect the fuel milage.

Easy guys....I didn&#39;t say ALL the cats are like that, I said that all the cats I HAVE SEEN have poor fuel mileage. No need to get so defensive. Those same cats are some of the fastest in the group. I guess you have to give to get sometimes. More fuel going in....more HP coming out. http://www.snowmobileworld.com/forums/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Ok, little info, *I am really wondering if anybody out there has a, or has had a 1995 zrt 600. *If so, was this the norm. *As far as the mileage on cats, *the 550 was the best on gas for what you got for hp. *Around 15 to 16 per gallon. American gallon. *It is not uncommond for the 600,700 800 900 and the t cat to get 10 miles or 12 per gal. *I agree that that is not good gas mileage, but you can live with that, with a 11 gallon tank. *So you Ski-doo owners are right, Compared to most ski-doos, they are gas hogs. *But the same can be said about the ski -doo having more motor troubles because of all the tech to get better gas mileage. *To each there own, *I was looking for more of a response on someone havine the same problem with the 1995 zrt. *It was the first year for the zrt. *Cat droped the hp in the following years. *Just wondering if that was because of the 6 to 7 miles per gallon. *Rocket it sounds like you are on track. *The tank holds 11 gallons. *At 6 to 7 per gallon, 65 to 70 miles. *So, maybe there is someone out *there still running a 1995, *Or maybe they could not afford to run the thing. LOLOLOL *Looking forward to more post.

First of all the gas tank is 10.5 gallons and 6-7 is not normal for any year ZRT 600 trail riding. *I have a &#39;96 in my garage that has 330 jets in it and will safely run down to -30F at 500-1500 feet and it gets 8mpg minimum and averages about 9mpg. *My ZRT800 averages about 10 for trail riding and in perfect conditions either of these sleds could do 2 mpg better. *I have never heard the &#39;95 engines are different than the new ones, so that bears a little more investigation. *I also know of guys running 320&#39;s in their 600&#39;s with no problems at 500-1500 feet. *They came stock with 370&#39;s and every tripple Cat with round slides I have worked on I started at 4 sizes leaner than stock. *Make sure you syncronize the carbs too. *This can have a drastic effect on mileage..........And as for you rocketman, your are a moderator and should know better than make remarks like you did about mileage. And then you try and justify it.
I think we need snow.

Man you guys are unbelivable ! your all acting like a bunch of racist people, as soon as we say something a little bit off about another brand its the end of the world !

He did not say cat is a piece of junk
