Hey all. 
I'm very new to the 6x6 world, but am enjoying myself immensely. I bought a bit of a beater, but I got a great deal and I like tinkering anyway. That said, my cup floweth over with ignorance about my Max II.
I've been working on the wiring, getting the hull patched for water-fun, installing a throttle, and replacing the first pair of tires/wheels. Been fun so far! But one thing is annoying. There has not been a throttle (working), so I've just been putting around in idle, which is fine. But not long after I got it, it sort of stopped turning left. I say "sort of", because sometimes it works. Almost never well enough to zero-point turn in that direction, but not a huge deal. Something to fix down the line.
Well now that the throttle is back to functional, it seems the turning is speed or rpm related. At speed, it is responsive in either direction. At idle, it makes long slow turns left. I was surprised when I had it about half way opened-up, and was able to slide turn to the left through the mud. Stupid kinds of fun, BTW!
So I guess I'm ready to start tackling some big-boy projects on this thing, like my steering issue. Does anybody have any ideas on where I should start? Springs attached to the sticks are fine. Nothing looks amiss with the chains or gears. The clutch is out of a snowmobile (hence the need for patching the hull), if that matters.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.
