I'm a little unclear on what you are trying to do.  Are you trying to generate a pulse train (output), or count pulses (input)?

 

If you are generating pulse in MAX, make sure you are connecting to the right output pin for the counter selected:

 

Counter0 OUT - Pin 2

Counter1 OUT - Pin 40

Counter2 OUT - Pin 1

Counter3 OUT - Pin 39

 

If you are counting edges, make sure you are connecting your signal to the right input (source) pins:

 

Counter0 SRC - Pin 37

Counter1 SRC - Pin 42

Counter2 SRC - Pin 11

Counter3 SRC - Pin 6
