Hi , I'm new here and I'm trying to get used to this site. I have a 1986 Max11 and it's been off the trails for some time.Just ordered 2 new chains and I have to say that 6x6.com came through awesome and got the chains fast. Now I need to rebuild the carb. And should be good to go....Well next time I will post some pics.

Welcome to the site Danny!

From Bergen NY---the turtleman.
Rebuilding a max 2. found in a barn with a roof leak. Good thing is it holds water---about a foot deep.
Bad thing is, it holds water---about a foot deep.
It's been a project but almost ready.
Have to get a new motor. Will a predator 13 hp with 420 ft lbs be ok or weak?
thx
-
Get the 18
-
18 hp predator? Or something like a Duramax?
-
I have a duromax 18 on a swamp fox and it does well but I have had it choke down a time or two but it is stock

Greetings all. New here. Picked up a Max II Ser. No. 740, 2 cycle with a Kawasaki TA 440A-F202, displacement 436cc, Ser No. TA440A-023788.
Will have lots of questions I'm sure mainly on clutch replacements and possibly a engine replacement to a higher HP snowmobile 2 stroke.
Thanks folks!

Welcome from PA tp
Post up some pics so we can see your project . Also We are here to help in any way we can !!
-
I hope these pictures come thru. pain in the butt to post.
as you can see the level of the water by the rust stain.
but new motor going in this week, new throttle cable, belt, misc springs and bolts. Tore apart both drive and driven clutches and rebuilt.
The thing I am not sure of is how to connect original key start to the new motor or the choke cable to the motor. I purchased a duramax engine and made a cable connector for it.

couple more pics of my barn find.

Not to bad ! I have found worse out there . Looks like a good cleaning and lube will get you at least moving . And it has not been all tore up .

OK, ran for a test drive the other day---inaugural run so to speak. ran well, a blast to drive, but broke a main drive chain on left side after a few minutes. the vertical chain. every time I pulled back on the left stick I heard a clunk. I think the chain adjusters on the long chains came loose and bound causing the other chain to break. I know I checked that all the chains were tight prior. is there anywhere to get new chain adjusters at a reasonable price?
-
I would give this sites owner a call or go to his site, ROUTE 6X6.COM I think their is a link on this site .
-
Do you think my hypothesis of how the chain broke is accurate?
Any other ideas what may be the cause?
-
The chain May have been Weak . As you said it sat and you really don't know the history on it.
-
It could have been several things. Your hypothesis is a possibility. As wedge said a weak/worn chain. Also check that your jackshaft securing/tightening bolts are tight and have good lock washers on them. If those are loose or slipped that would cause the chain to slack and possibly break or you could break some teeth off of the sprocket. The chain tensioner is only to adjust the tightness of the chain, not to secure and hold it in place. twoCents
-
I appreciate the responses. Correct, the chain could have been weak but makes me think how many other chains might be suspect. In looking at the alignment of the 2 sprockets they do do line up very well. Possible cause of chain failure or is this a bigger problem? None of the shafts or sprockets seem to have moved or appear to be loose. Thx
-
Hey again all. Replaced some chains, reworked chain tensioners and so far all good. But I usually have to hold back on right stick or veers to the left. Any recommendations what to look for? T20 trouble? Tires? Chains?
Thx

Read this thread. It has a lot of possible causes. Let us know what you come up with. popcorn

I have the duromax on my Max ii with a cam and other parts it seems to have plenty of power. I think generator warehouse has a deal right now if you use code rbg for like 300 bucks. I forget the code but if you watch any of red beards garage on YouTube one of his most recent videos says the code is good til the end of February. I picked mine up for 269.99 on eBay from maxtools 2+ years ago. Sorry for the jumping around just kind of relaying what I remember as it comes to me.

Make Sure all 6 tires are the same size And the AIR pressure's are set the same ! This tends to make the machine pull or drift to one side or the other . Also you can jack it up and see if one side turns freer than the other ( same drag sorta speak)
If all is good you may just need a little adjustment to the trans ?

Have this issue n my MAX, as long as my tire pressures are set to keep tire sizes equal left to right i am good to go and it tracks straight, easy to figure out and keep each tire within 1/2 PSI
