    I found three of these little pucks in the toolkit at the back of my 1979 El Tigre 6000. I can't remember ever seeing anything that look like these anywhere on the sled, and my dad is convinced he's never seen them before. What am I looking at?

    Hey guys I'm looking for some help here. I've got a '79 El Tigre 6000, and I've got the '79 service manual for it. The only problem is that the manual is only an addendum, meant to be used in conjunction with the 1978 service manual. I've been able to find a pdf online for the main 1978 Arctic...

    I'm repainting the exhaust on my '79 El Tigre. I want to repaint the exhaust manifold (the y-pipe that bolts onto the engine at each cylinder), but I was wondering if there is a gasket between the manifold and the engine block. The parts diagram at alpha-sports.com doesn't show one, but I feel...

    What color were the muffler and tailpipe on a 1979 El Tigre 6000 originally? Mine are in good shape (not rusted like many you see), but are extremely faded in color and I was looking to get some high heat paint and give them a coating. I'm thinking they were maybe a matte black, but I don't know...

I'm out of Ideas, I already have the slide needle set to the lowest setting and ive already played with the air screw...

    Hi everyone, I just bought an el tigre about a week ago and I want to restore it. The seat and everything is in perfect shape, just the hood for some reason was painted straight green. I painted black last night, and now I am looking for the decals. I know there is a set on ebay for 119 but is...

    I'm rebuilding a Kawasaki 440 quad plug engine out of a 1973 El Tigre 440. The previous owner said it was rebuilt once already because he destroyed a piston. When I pulled the heads off, I noticed one was stamped with 440RS/2A and the other one was stamped 400RS/2B. I'm assuming the number is...

    For a couple years now my dad has been telling me about an Arctic Cat snowmobile commercial that ran when he bought his new 1979 Arctic Cat El Tigre 6000 (so the 1978/1979 winter) that had an El Tigre being hauled by a brown and tan Chevy pickup. I've scoured the internet and YouTube for this...

    Hi there. My dad just got some suzuki fury pipes at a local swap. We are looking to mount them on his custom restore jag. But they don't have flanges at the moment. Do I have to get fury flanges or can I use some off of something else. Any help is much appreciated

    Ok, so I had the sled running, but she lost fuel pressure. I am going to clean the carbs this coming weekend and clean the fuel pump. As a precaution, I am also looking into picking up a fuel pump on ebay, and I found one that looks identical to it here: 1976 Arctic Cat Pantera 500 Mikuni...

    Could a 1977 El Tigre hood fit onto a '78/'79 Jag 3000? If it could, I am thinking of replcaing the beat up and worn out/cracked jag hood I have with a nice black el tigre hood from 1977. Will this work?

    I have recently picked up a very nice El Tigre 6000 for a small amount of money. I went to fill her up with some nice pre-mix (tank was bone dry). The spark plugs were swapped with newer ones (but the spark plug wires have the tops of the old ones stuck in them). Would this hinder the ability to...

    Well, its my first post but here it goes. I have a 1973 El Tigre with a 400 four plug engine, and the center crank seal is out of it. Now, I've torn more Kaw sled engines apart than most other 19 year olds, so the odd shape of the seal has had me confused for quite awhile. It is wider and has a...

    Will be picking up this old rough snowmobile this weekend; it's being thrown in as a "parts sled" for a 1973 El Tigre 440 I purchased. It is rough, I was told it's an EXT that was raced in the 70's oval track. Its been sitting outside with a stuck 4 plug motor for years. The tunnel is cracked in...

    I have a 1986 el Tigre 6000 530cc L/C that’s really difficult to start when the engine is warm. It has lots of power when cold but slowly starts to lose it after about 45 minutes. Last winter I ran it hard on a lake for a few hours but after stopping at a bar for another few hours it wouldn’t...

    hello, I got an 1980 el tigre 6000 liquid cooled. When i start it up it runs fine no bogging for about 5 min of riding but when it warms up it starts bogging after that the only way i can get it moving is to let it idle for 30 sec or so and open the throttle all the way, when its full throttle...

    Does any body know how i would get to the filter inside the silencer. It appears to me that i have to take half the sled apart. My uncle has not used it in 5yrs and i do not think its getting enough air and the part of the filter i can see apprears really dirty.
