remove the spark plug, then try to start it, if it spins strong, then most likely the valves are out of adjustment making cranking hard. now this is on a briggs engine, but the concept is the same,

one thing i would do is remove the spark plug(s) and then crank it over, if it cranks easier with the plugs out, 98% of the time it's the valve lash. Adjusting the valves is a fairly easy process, just depends on what all is covering the valve cover. I did find the contact info for the company so you might can ask them what they think too, [email protected]

If it's an Overhead valve engine, excessive valve lash will cause hard starting, lash is the distance between the Rocker arm end and the top of the valve, usually ranges anywhere from .004" to .020" depending on the machine. Also the cables can be the issue, clean both ends of the ground cable, and Positive cable.

I would say using a quick pin system would be the best, that's actually how the bed of my Mule is attached to the frame. Have corresponding holes drilled into the frame, and the attachment.

I think he was a good fit for Indiana Jone's father...

good deal, hope the new machines work out better for you!

pretty pricey, might consider something like this, https://www.qtacfire.com/utv-atv-skids

you're telling me, i shelled out $140 a piece for 2 wheel brake cylinders last year

Oh you found the right reamer!? cool!

Any updates?

you might think about towing a trailer with the tank etc, i believe the Pro has a stronger towing capacity than cargo bed weight.

Hi Dolly, did you ever get your smoking issue fixed?

Welcome Mick, Glad you joined us!

i believe the clock should do it automatically when their is a fault

I would take some measurments, with the old tires installed, and see how much clearance you have with the dump bed closed and open, and the front fenders when turning. then go from there.

¿Sin chispa? ¿Utiliza esto una bobina de encendido como una cortadora de césped que dispara desde el volante, o como un automóvil que usa encendido por batería con un distribuidor y una bobina? https://www.hisunmotors.com/ aquí está el sitio web de Hisuns, puede intentar ponerse en contacto con ellos. No spark? Does this use a ignition coil like a lawnmower that fires off from the flywheel, or like a car that uses battery ignition with a distributor and coil? https://www.hisunmotors.com/ here is Hisuns website, you may try contacting them.

Dr. Pepper makes any job easier 👍

might try measuring the O.D. of the valve stem , might could compensate for some wear with new valves. But of course if the guide bore I.D. is too large then that won't work.

95 psi sounds good enough since this engine has an automatic compression relief. Be sure to purchase a cylinder hone so you can crosshatch the cylinder. https://www.cubcadetpartsnmore.com/Parts-Lookup.html#/Kawasaki/KAF540-C1_Mule_2010/CRANKSHAFT%2f%2fPISTON/b8057cd2-23b8-4c1f-8caf-28d63ba14baf/b3d441b2-e78c-4a18-9cd9-363cf9b22c3b/y They show the rings in stock for 44$, i've ordered other Cub Cadet and Kohler parts from these folks before.

Yes, they will need to be installed and reamed by a machinist. Or Kawasaki did sell a special tool for guide reaming, P/N 57001-162 but good luck finding it. might could ask a local Kawasaki dealer. I remember back when i did my mule, one of the valve guides (exhaust i think) moved in the head, so went ahead and bought 2 new guides, the machinist didn't have the right reamer, so they measured the I.D. and found it within spec so they just pressed the guide back down, it's stayed so far. What's wrong with yours?

are you referring to the dump bed?

Welcome to the UTV Board! I know an engine may burn a little oil while the piston rings are still being broke in, usually a break in period lasts 20 hours, ( but rings usually seat pretty quick) , keep an eye on the oil level just in a case there is a leak. Do you ever see smoke, or just smell burnt oil?

There's been so many people having various Quality control problems with these Coleman/HiSun machines it's not even funny... I hope they get everything right for you.

gas pouring out the vent hose,,,, sounds like the float/ float needle isn't metering the fuel flow to the carburetor... i read that most Coleman's have a 2 year warranty, sounds to me like you need to save some headache, file a warranty claim, for the running issues, and the crap QC. Or contact Coleman (which i think is manufactured by HiSun motors) and ask them if they've ever heard of the Lemon Law.

Could be water in the fuel, either empty some gas from the unit into a clear container, or the can you fill them up with, and let it sit for about 10 minutes, see if there is any sepration as the water and ethanol will form a line between the gasoline.
