I FINALY got the max back together tonight! After like 2 years appart, buying parts off here, and asking for help rebuilding the carbs, I got the sled fired up.

I started it up for the first time and it started to rev like crazy and was bouncing off from the tors limiter while the ass end was up in the air. I was like wtf? so i messed with the idler control, and it wouldnt do anything at all. I disabled the tors and it reved up to like 4k and would stop and run good. So after pondering what the hell was going on, and remebering a previous search on the forum for the jet settings. I see written on my hood that the "settings" from what the sled was set at before was 2 1/2 turns out. And I remembered that its 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 turns. So back out come the carbs, to reset, and re-install. Pull two times and it fires right up! Set the idle and away we go. I put in new brake, rotor, and a caliper. Also did a new seat and track with 144 studs.

After 4 laps around the field, and checking the revs out, almost everything seemed to be in order. The only other thing I know isint correct, and might just be that it hasnt been riden in a few years, is that after accelerating, and then letting off to cruise, with the rpm between 5-6k, it acts like it loads up some. Flutter the throttle and it comes out of it and is ready to scream. It also is fine up trough 8+k with nothing bogging up, even between 5-6k. My first thought is that its not tottaly down shifting correctly when you let off after accelerating, and keeping it geared to low, but if thats the case, i did just clean the clutch up last year, and it hasnt been used since, so it might just need to be ran.

Im so stoked guys! After my dad picking up another 92, and getting that going, to finnaly getting mine so i can ride, I cant wait to hit the trails with him! These guys around here just arent going to know what hit them! Ill have it registerd tommorow so i can :Tomcat:!!!

Yea, ill see about grabbing some pics. The good thing is that my dad's sled has a black windshield that he wants to swap for my clear one, which I love the idea of, and also wants a stock can instead of the stingers that are on his sled, which is also awesome!

Just got back from registering the sled, so i just gotta find a sitter for the kids, and hopefully go riding tonight!

If you can make it, tommorow on sebasticook lake (newport lake) they have the radar runs and other stuff going on from 9-1 I belive. You will have to hop on in the morning and ride up! Ill be there with two 92's and if lucky goes, will most likely be on his red 800.

Had a good time today at the radar runs. Nothing really all that spectacular going on. LOTS of arctic cats there, and just a few yammies, had a few srx's running 110-115 in 1000' in pro stock. 800 trail and pro stock was fairly weak when I left, best run in pro stock was 104.xx or so, and trail stock was empty, could have cleaned them up, but the max isint ready yet. Track was pretty tight, and was howling on the way home, even though it was set to about 21lbs @ 1". Going to drop it down to around 18 and see how that does. But the clutching is definatly holding me back some. It came out of it some by the time we got back after close to 40mi, but not there yet. Also think the chain is a might too tight too, but I will check it again now that there are some miles put on it.

Luckyone, really glad we caught you on the way out! It was nice to finnaly put a face to the name on here. Your sled is gorgeous! It look about as close to new as you could get! Hopefully if we get the weather to cool down, and some more snow, hopefully the three of us can hook up and put some miles on the sleds together.
