Joe: You put 110 watts of driving lights on your Max? Thats over 9 amps worth of juice just for your driving lights, then there is your stock lights and all the other little stuff if you have any!!!! I don't know what these things put out amp wise by I know my 16HP on my Argo does'nt put out much. This is just a guess on my part; you popped a fuse on your charging system. Replace the blown fuse, take off the anti-aircraft lights and you should be good to go. If you can't bare to give up the lights, if I were you, I would put on an external alt.
