Hi,
Been a while since I was last here. Always come when I am in trouble. My 2003 Max II has developed a peculiar problem:- 23 hp Kohler has work flawlessly since I have owned it (2008) today was running the powder snow and the throttle contol left me, yet it appeared to be stuck on high rev. I was able to get home mercifully with no throttle control. I turned on the throttle cable heater and briefly it seemed to help. It is very cold but machine was in heated garage and when wading snow runs fairly warm. The cable has never been changed but it appears to be hooked up. For a time last winter or so it appeared that the clutch was sticking and it would creep forward sometimes fairly quick. I will open her up and change the belt as I know its worn, noteworthy I think of all the years I have owned it only times I ever used the cable heater has been last winter.

Any ideas on where I should start troubleshooting?

Also, where can you buy Max OEM parts now, last I heard everything was up in the air?

Best Regards, Eldon
