I took the cover off and the linkage and everything looked fine. I then shifted it by putting plyers on the shifter shaft and did not get low or neutral. I concluded that the shifter and linkage was not the issue, but something internally.

With the shifter open it does not shift, it has to be something internally. I was just hoping someone has seen this before.

I'd have the dealer repair that machine while it is under warranty. Fuses don't just pop on a new vehicle. Fuses do not pop because linkage is not adjusted. You are experiencing an electrical problem and I can say with a high degree of certainty you will experience more blown Fuses in the very near future. The machine is protecting itself from the real problem by popping the fuse. The machine is also communicating there is an electrical issue to you Boss. Have it figured out before the warranty runs out or you may experience expensive troubleshooting diagnostics later.

Thanks,.. got it fixed, turns out there is a fuse interconnected with the brake safety interlock. It prevents the gearshift from being recognized. the linkage for the shifter was adjusted and that should solve all problems.. If any one has the same issue with a non start. it might be caused by the brake interlock system fuse. a 10 amp fuse popped. I had changed most of the fuses with the Start and Run functions. never thought there would be a connection to the brakes. weird Chinese Engineering I guess.

Thamk you Joe for your response. We were out of touch for several days. Back home now. I will do a compression test this PM. This machine has about 350 hrs. on it. Oil burning issue occured literally overnight. Really strange. Post compression test I will do a leak down test. I've run many compression tests on 4 and 2 strokes. Never a leak down test as basic comp test always indicated issue/no issue. Does the HISUN engine compression relief mechanism interfere with performing a basic compression test? I have avoided the extra 1 1/2 qts of oil experiment after observing my neighbor's results with this experiment on his Polaris. His wasn't so much an oil consumption issue as a beer consumption issue. However, he does have a very refreshed motor and his motor was tired with way more than my 350 hrs. I'm running 15W40 here in the deserts of New Mexico. We do use the unit in Colorado during the summers however. I can't imagine that 15W40 may be too heavy for 70 degree days in Colorado but I am no expert in that regard either. Your mentioning crankase ventilation is interesting as the machine only smokes off idle usually under load. Zero visual smoke at idle or below approx 2200RPM or so. I will chase that aspect down as well. Thank you again for your assistance with this. Chile

You also might consider talking to the selling dealer to push for a full replacement of your unit with a new one since it is an on going issue from new and the first dealer attempt to fix didn't fix it. If they resist, ask for the owner of the dealership and ask him/her how they are going to make you a happy customer. That might make your next dealer visit the last one for a while. Good luck on it.

You went further than I ever would have. On the rare occasion that I have a problem like you had I just drive a Phillips screwdriver through the filter and use that to spin it off.

Good luck on your search

There's a big reason they want them gone..And that warranty ain't worth the paper it's written on.
