Yes indeed I'm sure his knowledge is defiantly missed. Sounds like he really knew his stuff. R.I.P. to be honest about 60% clear over my head looks like I will be buying a bandelero in the near future.

I passed along the info that originally came from member Roger S. Tragic loss to the AATV world (Roger S has passed away) Although I didn't know Roger well, he was very kind and helpful to me as a new member. He is missed.

Im at a loss baught a max ii about a month ago re worked the carb now it runs great well the engine at least. The problem is that when I get it in a bind like a mud hole or on an incline it seems the engine does not have the power to spin the tires over. I know 16 hp is on the small side but I really think it is a problem some where else. I baught a new belt and installed it tightened it to spec and no difference. I notice when in a bind if I pull both sticks back rev the engine and then push forward it makes a brief squeak and then the mother Boggs down. Like it is in to high of a gear to turn the wheels. Someone said something about a spring on the transmission. Is there some way to test mine or something to look for that may indicate failure of the one installed?confused:

If you already replaced the belt and tightened it to spec, that certainly eliminates that issue. The 16HP Vanguard is a great engine and should rarely bog down. It sounds like your problem could be in your clutching. The driven clutch on your transmission may need a new spring (I'd recommend ordering a red one from Recreatives if that's the issue). Amphibious Six-Wheel Drive All-Terrain Vehicles: MaxATVs - Call 1-800-255-2511 It could also be in your drive clutch on your engine. Lift the top half of the body up and see if both clutches are working when you rev it up. (in nuetral of course).

Yes both clutches work in neural guess I'm going to order the new spring and see how that goes. I know I'm close I can feel it. Really excited.
