Re: fire series hoods

Was the dealer in mass? I have a few sleds that have come from that direction and wasn't sure if any came from there. Some parts here in New England would be nice there seems to be very few out this direction.

thats a great site and is great to have in the future. But for some reason I can not find it on the parts diagram. If some one could give me an explanation on what it is and how to ajust it that would be great. Thanks
