Hi Guys
Still working on my Max II, does any one have a picture of were I should look for the wires that stops the engine? mines a 2001 model, it starts fine but will not turn off on the key, posted this a bit back, but not had time to sort it again untill now.

Hi Again.
Been trying to find the fault why it will not shut down, after raseing the top, now its not starting!! tried a screw driver cross solioid and nothing! checked wires seem ok, now totally lost!
Richie
I am not sure what problem you picked up when you raised the top. It sounds like you may have disturbed a power termination somewhere. I was going to recommend that you check all of the wires going in and out of the ignition switch. I found a loose one on my Max IV after just a few hours of operation. One of the female clip connectors had backed off of the blade on the switch body. I don't know if I caused it when I was looking around in there or it was just not seated all the way when they built the machine.
It probably wouldn't hurt to go through your machine and check all of the connections from the battery, through the ignition switch, and out to the end devices. Make sure you check your ground connections too.
Hi akcrawler, I put the volt meter on the green wire (spade) on the solenoid and the other end of the volt meter on the earthing strap, got the wife to start the engine and it fired up right away!!! so am I right in thinking this is an earth problem?
Holy cow, a lot goin' on there. give Me a few hrs and I'll see if I can mock up some coils and wire on a block and post what I'm talkin' about. are You sure it fires on both cylinders? they won't if the kill wire is not connected between the two coils.
Yeh, tell me about it, how would i tell if is firing on both? deff no thin wire coing from the coils. I just bought the right solenoid , this one is in mid air!!! ok thanks for your help
just tried a wire going one coil then to the next , but it will not start like this! was planning on connecting both coils then grounding it when it was running. Ehhhhhhh, FED UP NOW
throwing money at it is always an option I guess I would think any MuddOx Dealer in the UK would be more than happy to drain the ole checkbook. Duty fee's and taxes from anything over here would also be pricey, I thought I read He just wanted to get it running and push it off.
Thanks guys, if I was keeping this one I would get 100%, but it was my first one and it always bugged me not stoppning on the key like my other! so thought I would try and sort it for its next rider, I will order the wire for the coils and put a cut out switch to kill the engine, its been well messed with and tatty so needs to go and yes prices are very high here for the Max parts! still not sure why the last owner has done this? Thanks again for your help.
