Hello everyone

[man in the shed]

Just joined forum cause there's always something to learn, I have recently acquired a gen1 2006 max in black tribal, 17000 miles, runs OK but could be better, I'll read some comments on carb issues before I strip them, not sure on jet sizes for UK yet, I guess someone will know?

Thanks everyone, I managed to buy a manual at bargain price, I stripped carbs down replaced all primary jets, main jets uk size 150's, float valves, re-set floats to recommended level, new bowl gaskets, diaphragms and sliders are all OK. Turned the key, fuel pump kicked in, touched the start button and it fired up instantly and runs like a dream, so pleased.
