Thread: Max II donuts

    Max II donuts

    We rarely get snow here in my part of Virginia. I took the Max out today to try it out in the snow and ice. Incredible capability in the snow. We got about 8 inches and the Max just plows through it no problem.

    I want to do the split shifter mod, just have not had time. I want to add a windshield and several other plans for this machine. I bought a used 60" Moose ATV snowplow and winch for it, but I am still gathering all the pieces and parts to get it fabbed up. I am going to attempt to weld up my own winch mount and plow mount. My brother cut out the brackets on the water jet. should have had it done before the snow. Jay

    Very cool video. Looks like a frozen pond? It is definitely on my list to get done. I have a immediate thing to get fixed and that is the throttle cable freezes up. I can start the engine and it eventually thaws out, but takes about 5 minutes or more idling for the throttle to work. The choke does not work and it seems to be a cold natured engine (Vanguard). The choke is kind of cheesy the way it is designed because the black plastic choke knob just slides onto the choke cable and if you pull the the choke, the knob pulls right off. During warm weather no choke is needed. Any suggestions for the frozen throttle cable and choke? Best regards, Jay

    Good Morning
    I would buy the heated throttle cable, and get a syringe and inject alcohol or antifreeze down the cable, my vangurad chock works fine. I bout a generic cable the length I needed and routed it they way I liked it and zero issues with cable. My Max stays in a heated garage so I have never had a freezing issue, but I do have the heated cable and alcohol in the cable.

    While the heated throttle cable will work, you must keep the throttle cable dry and prevent water from getting into the cable, otherwise, you will have the problem of having to wait up to 5+ minutes after starting for the heated cable to thaw any ice build up in cable. Make sure that you route the cable such that it does not rub and wear on any surfaces, or high water in the tub could seep into the cable cover. I now cover the top of the throttle cable with tape and when not stored specifically under cover, I cover the throttle lever with a large plastic bottle cut to fit. Trying to free the frozen cable by forcing the throttle will just cause premature failure of the throttle cable at the connection to the grip. I tried the "injecting 50/50 mix anti freeze" into the cable and that did not work. For those who think a higher concentrate of anti freeze will work, it will not. Pure ethylene glycol freezes at about −12 °C (10.4 °F). A 60/40 mix will freeze at about -45°C or -49°F.
