Some guys screw with thier sleds and play with pilot jets and crap.. NOT a good idea. The only time you should be screwing with an e-tech is if you are putting a sea-level kit in... as in 0ft!!! Dont worry about any of that stuff! Doesn't pretain to you at all!

Sorry Sean.... you are somewhat incorrect there!!! I bought a new 97 Summit in 96, I had to jet for temperature and Edm's elevation. Because the sled came factory jetted for sea level. Yes putting a pipe and can on you sometimes had to rejet, but with just a can never. The DPM was a great new idea for Doo, but it wasn't as trouble free as what they are now. My 96 Formula 500 fan, that I bought new in 95, was constantly jetted. Because of no Dpm

Why does ski doo have recommend jetting suggestions for elevations in the service manual?

what year did dpm come out then? i figured it was released with the new 670. any sled with dpm or electronic fuel injection does not need to be adjusted unless aftermarket accessories are added. DPM has the ability to lean out the snowmobile -6 jet sizes. yes your BASE jetting would need to be adjusted according to your starting location elevation but thats it.

all 800r motors are though. and the sea level calibrations for the 800r ETEC are clutching and gearing ONLY. so i dont know why everyone is so confused LOL
Because they don't make 9 different owners manuals. So basically someone grabs it out of an 800 e tech... Reads "jetting procedures" puts the book down and gets on snow and mud. They have all the engines in the same book.

I do believe it came out in 97, but I am not 100% sure on that. I had a 97 Summit, and temperature made an effect on jetting and spark plug color. So that is not it! Like I said.... DPM was a great idea for Doo back then, but it wasn't as trouble free. As they are now today, unless you can tell me that you had a new Summit back in 96/97 and there was something back then I was doing wrong? I also was racing for Riverside Honda at that time, so I'm quite sure we tried as much as we could without blowing one up. Which did happen..... lol

If you were to buy a new sled in November of this year, does it need to be a snow check, or could it just be a 2014? Would it phuck you up even more, if I said my holiday trailer is an 05, that I bought new in the summer of 04.
