Fine Tune Manual

Post by WinnipegStPaul9 »

Guys for years Kenny Heins and others always told me I needed a "fine tune manual" and eventually I bought one. It has become the MOST important manual in my collection. I tell you this because there's one on Ebay right now that is very cheap. The Ebay number is 291141329949. My first thought was to buy it but I would love to see someone who doesn't have one get it. I guess I should mention this version is for 79-83 ( the latest version I think). Good luck!

DA is right! Those books are a great resource! I have a couple of"fine tune" manuals and the nice thing about it, they are still available from our local friendly Deere dealer (reprint only). Fun to watch the young parts guy look on his face, when you ask him to order a snowmobile manual.....

Give them the part number of the manual, otherwise yea, they'll always look at you like your crazy at the dealer. Don't even tell them it's for a snowmobile.

http://www.jdsleds.com/community/viewto ... +H2#p39369

Edit: The 79 to 83 fine tune manual only has info for the 79 to 83-84 "fire series" sleds.
80 Liquifire (purchased 1996 ~ Running)
80 Liquifire (purchased 2010 ~ Running....Now)
80 Liquifire (purchased 2011 ~ Not running - I officially have a problem now)
83 Snowfire (purchased 2014 father/son restoration project)
78 Spitfire ~ sold (should have been shot for this)
