I've never messed with the carbs but their fairly easy to access on that chassis so it shouldn't be too bad. I used a 570 as a spare sled in tumbler Ridge last year and I hope your OK with following tracks cause you probably won't be able to make many of your own. Maybe jetting would help but I can't say for sure.

What I would do is check what main and pilot jets are in it now. I would then go to a dealer or on-line and find out what jets should be in it for that elevation and put them in if the ones in it now are wrong. I would put the clip on the needle in the centre position and have the tools with me on the mountain to adjust the clip should it be necessary. I would also change both primary and secondary clutch springs as they are probably worn out. If you are not comfortable doing these things yourself, I would bring it to a dealer and have it done there. Your sled will perform better and you will have a more enjoyable trip.

everything you need to know is on the air/tool box cover

jetting and clutching

Depends on the tracks. I think the mountain cats had a pretty small paddle, maybe 1.5"? If your fusion has the same or better it might actually do better with the extra power. I've never ridden a fusion though. Up to you! If you've ridden both you will know which feels like it would do better. Don't get me wrong the 570 will still be a lot of fun, just have to choose terrain and pick your lines accordingly. IE: don't plan your day around making it into a bowl that requires a big climb to get to.
