    82 to 86 maxim 650

    In the USA the 650 was discontinued in '83. They came out with the maxim 700 and maxim x 700 in '85 but I dont believe they still had them in '86.

    If the throttle cable is disconnected and the butterflys are closed you have a vacuum leak. Most likely from bad throttle shaft seals or manifolds.
