New members, introduce yourself here

[Rooster]

Rooster here, new to the site! I just bought an old Attex 400. Have little to no info on it. I have been cleaning it up and fixing some minor issues. It runs pretty good off and on but I can’t seem to get the needle valve set correctly. The engine is a Rockwell JLO single cylinder. Any help on where I should set the needle valve would be most appreciated. Currently have it open 1 1/2 turns. Runs okay but smokes pretty good. Any suggestions?

Welcome Rooster, good luck with the Attex. Try posting your questions in the Attex forum as there are many knowledgeable 2 stroke guys on here, it would seem someone changed your engine. 2 stokes do smoke and some a lot depending on the oil gas mixture ratio and oil used.

Hey there, just wanting to introduce myself. I have been on the form before looking for answers to some problems on my 2009 mudd ox. I am excited to see all who have one or have owned one. I purchased my mudd ox about 2 years ago and have gone through it pretty agresiv. New bearings and a top end rebuild on the 37hp Kohler motor. Since putting it back together it runs great when I fist fire it up. After running it for a good 30 minutes I can shut it off and then goto turn it back on. All it does is crank over until it cools down. I installed an electronic fuel pump with a 2psi rating. I have cut a much bigger opening in the engine compartment to allow better airflow. I am looking for some advice or direction on how to fix my problem. I am having a couple more problems with chain popping as well. I look forward to talking to all who can help a fellow amphibious owner out.

Good morning everyone. This is my first post on your site, so a little about myself. I am located just outside of Ste. Genevieve , Manitoba, Canada. Experience is more on the regular atv world (tongue in cheek as I currently have a diesel Arctic Cat, not really regular) and heavy equipment world. First time Argo owner, but I am into just about anything that moves. I recently purchased a early to mid 70's Argo 8x8 that was in need of some tlc. It came without the original 2 stroke, which is fine. It did come with a Briggs 18 HP, but I am considering a Geo Metro swap as I have two complete engines sitting on the shop floor anyway. The machine came with 8 new tires and the bottom half is in fair shape for its age. The top half however is trashed. It has several cracks/breaks and a section is melted and deformed! Firewall is toast as well. I am thinking of making a new top out of Aluminium checker plate, but time will tell. It needs to be durable as this will be a work and play machine. I am sure there will be lots of questions in the future from myself to the Argo Guru's on this forum. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!.

Hey All, I was a member for a couple years on this site and then took a break. When I came back to login, the password request isn’t working. So I created a new user name. I live in Allendale, MI and am looking for an AATV to purchase

Hi ever since I was in the army 50 years ago I fell in love with a British stalwart 6x6 and last week I found the max2 for a steal so I took the plunge and snapped it up the stalwarts mini me!! Looking forward to a lot of fun in my old age .

Hello folks. Newbie here and I am in the process of purchasing a Max IV.

I joined mostly to educate myself on the do's and don'ts of these machine. I haven't seen the machine yet but it belongs to a buddy of mine and he has given me some info about it. It has a full roll bar, windshield, winch and bilge pump.

Good evening everyone, Frank here from Memphis Tn, first time 6x6 owner "1989 max 2". Slowly but surely working all the kinks out of my machine. Stumbled across the forum and knew I had found a wealth of knowledge so I was happy to join. I look forward to getting to know everyone, thanks for having me.

Welcome! Sounds like you’ve got some nice accessories on your IV. Lots of help here if you need it. I happen to have a fleet of IV s myself.

Hello all. Newbie here and I just purchased a 1998 Max IV.
I will have some questions as I rebuild this 20 year old fun machine, this looks like the place to get the right answers.
Thanks in advance

Welcome to the site. Lots of info here. Glad to have you.

Welcome cdndewey, frankman and pull up terrain (and others I have missed). There is a great group of people here willing to help.

Frankman, I'm in north Mississippi so we should get together and ride some time.

Hi Guys, I was a member several years ago and just registered again. I own several ATV's and UTV's I use for hunting and pleasure riding. I'm 78 years old, so don't do much mudding although I have gotten my 72 Cushman Trackster stuck and sunk in the swamp I hunt in. I bought a used Argo Response last year and I would like to determine the year built etc. It has a plate with serial: RB15824 and Model: 896-65 It only has 723 hours on it. Anyone have the site info?

Welcome to the site mtims101. I'm sure someone on here can help. If you don't get a response soon, post this question under the Argo section of the forum.
