I have an old trail boss tub free for the taking. It's not in very good shape but I've seen worse. If you can use it and can pick it up in Cicero, NY it's yours.1729817299173001730117302

I'm thinking about just disconnecting the governor. Has anyone done that with a Kohler Magnum?

Finally an update. Your wiring tips were spot on. It is running and moving although I have a short somewhere in the grounding circuit. I have to ground a spliced wire to the frame to kill the engine....

I have been powdercoating for years and never found it necessary to prep other than rust removal and smoothing. As long as it is sealed it won't rust.

That makes sense. Many thanks to you sirs. I am out of town for the weekend but when I return wires will be spliced and terrain will be vehicled. Thanks again and I will post a follow up.

Thanks for the replies. Hydromike, so the red wire goes to the battery, the other wire must be the kill wire to the ignition? I had. This engine in an old tractor and I don't remember how I had it...

I decided to get rid of the temperamental 2 stroke in my Attex and put a Kohler M18 I have kicking around in it. There are only 2 wires coming off the engine and 2 wires going into the chassis...

Thanks, Buggyman!

Hi, I have an Attex Super Chief 500 and I am sick of messing around with the temperamental Arctic Cat 2 stroke that is in it. I have a good running Kohler Magnum 18 that I want to put in it. I'm more...

I think it's time to stick a fork in this one. It's not cost effective to rebuild a $300 mower and I can't even source engine parts for this model. I guess it's too new. Thanks for the replies. Now...

Thanks for the replies. I will test the compression. It just seems to run so well aside from the emissions from the PCV tube. The exhaust is not smoking. There are conflicting reports but I believe...

This is a bit off topic but I know someone here will be able to answer this. My friend owns a hardware store that sells lawnmowers. Long story short, a lady bought a brand new Craftsman push mower...

Eric Mentioned that he knew you when I picked it up. Paint never sticks to HDPE very well in my experience. I painted my ABS Max digital camo but the body was thrashed before I fixed it up. I may try...

Runs on spray! I will need to at least clean the carburetor and gas tank. Why do people store things with gas in them? :rolleyes:

I haven't been on in awhile, during a lapse in judgement I sold my Max and got a 4 wheeler. I regretted it almost immediately. I just sold the wheeler and got a 1979 Attex Super Chief 500. It has an...

I own farmland in Oswego County where I will be riding if I ever get my Max running.

Being the idiot that I am, I had the ignition switch wired wrong. when in the off position it was completing a circuit from the battery to the right side coil. D'OH! Now the thing just won't run. I...

I figured it out.

Hi, I hope there's someone on here that knows alot more than me about these things! I have a 1972-ish Rotax 399 that I put in a 1970 or so Max. I had the engine firing after I replaced everything but...

Mike, can you explain this in more detail? Belts are wedge shaped and the drive clutch is made up of 2 curved surfaces so do I line up the top (wide) edge of the belt with the very top of the fixed...
