Max ii help please (newie)

[wiggy]

Hi Guys and Girls.
Joined this ace forum abit ago, but never had the chance yet to post his,
I have bought 2 Max II, not sure what year they are? numbers are 17716 and 17537.
I am in the UK and trying to find the long choke cables both need replacing( they seem very long and hard to find in the uk), one needs ignition switch( lose key) exhaust and a solenoid( are these a standard part or just a max part?)
The one with the good ignition will not turn off, need to choke it to stop the engine.
Any help or pictures would be great thanks, I am new to these but must say they are ace fun
p.s both have Briggs & Stratton 18HP V-TWINE Engines
Thanks Richie

Hey wiggy, you'll probably need to buy the choke cable through Max.
The ignition switch, muffler and and solenoid should be able to be purchased through a small engine or lawn mower shop, unless the muffler is external ( shouldn't be with a ser. no. that late.
If your engine is not shutting off there is a ground issue, probably a disconnected wire perhaps either at the outside or inside of engine shrouding, or at the key switch itself.

On the home page in the manual section there is a diagram for both the 5 and 7 wire switches, your's should be the seven.

Hi
Had a look threw that last night could not see my numbers in the list? another member said 2001? not sure what model they are, first time I have had these.

[Rusty-Gunn]

Regarding the list... You're comparing where your serial numbers go in relation to the others listed. They can add yours to the list if you post your serial numbers in that thread.

Thanks for reply guys, will post my Serial numbers on the list just wanted to be 100% sure of the year first. re the wiring diagrams which one is mine? also bought solenoid before i posted on here its a Lucas 4ST SRB325, think its for a car , will this still be ok?
Re the choke cables I emailed a company in the UK that sells them, still waiting for a reply.
Thanks again Richie

Hi Guys
I have just had a reply from Maxcat in the UK, £45 PLUS VAT PER CHOKE CABLE AND £130 FOR EXHAUST (MUFFLER only and not full unit) ARE THESE PRICES ABOUT RIGHT?

[JoeMeg]

If you want to use the Lucas 4ST SRB325 as a starter solenoid it should do a nice job for you. Sorry,can't offer much help in the diagram or cost issues.

Thanks for reply.
