Now and then upon take off from stop, there is a squeeling noise, similar to a belt slipping. No problems at high speed. Cause?

A squealing noise during takeoff in a Massimo 550 could be caused by issues with the clutch system. If the primary clutch is not engaging or releasing properly or if the belt is slipping due to wear or improper tension, it can cause squealing. The belt may also slip if the clutch components are dirty, worn, or misaligned. Checking and servicing the clutch and belt system may resolve the issue.

My 550 t boss won't start in the cold. It barks back through the intake, every time it should fire.

The Massimo T-BOSS 550 has difficulty starting in extremely cold weather. The possible reasons mentioned include:

1. Weak Starter – The starter may not be strong enough to turn the engine over efficiently in cold conditions.
2. Battery Issues – The battery may not have enough cold cranking amps to provide sufficient power in low temperatures.
3. Lack of Battery Maintainer – The battery is not maintained with a charger, which could lead to reduced performance in the cold.
4. Cold Temperatures – The engine struggles to start only in extremely low temperatures, especially in single digits, and the vehicle is not stored in a garage, which could help with temperature regulation.

The backfiring through the intake could be caused by:
1. Cold Fuel Mixture – In cold weather, fuel may not vaporize properly, leading to incomplete combustion and backfiring.
2. Weak Spark or Ignition Timing Issues – A weak battery or cold conditions may cause weak spark ignition, leading to misfires and backfires.
3. Starter Struggles – If the starter is weak, the engine may not crank properly, leading to improper air-fuel mixture ignition.

Using a battery maintainer, storing the vehicle in a warmer place, or checking the starter and battery capacity could help improve cold-weather performance.
