T-boss 410

Uh oh, I see a urinating contest coming on😜

That sucks, but I guess it could have been worse.

Yeah, it would be better if it were made of a hard rubber, but it is what it is. Mine hasn't broken yet, only because I remove it when I'm using the winch, and I only replace it when I am rewinding the cable. I'm sure if you do some Internet surfing, you can find another one that's manufactured with better material.

Lol, like you need more rain in the swamp 🤣

I believe (I could be wrong and most likely am) that part is to act as a sort of stop for the winch cable. I have a 2019 T-boss 410 with the same plastic part.

Dang spell check 🤬. Remember, mine's a Linhai rebadged as a Massimo 😉

Sorry, that was meant for Joe Bureaux.

How's your CFMoto holding up?

Not gonna effect you, hopefully?

Been hating humidity since I was a kid. Just getting worse as the years go by.

I guess it's whatever you are used to. Personally, I don't do well with humidity above 70%, like Alien10 says. I rarely leave the a/c in those conditions.

Ain't been doing much, just working around the house and the property. Also been working on a lift gate for my fiancee's Jeep Grand Cherokee. Her's has a lot of rust damage. Just trying to stay busy and stay cool at the same time.

Dude, I've been too old for this heat since birth! So, how's things going with you?

I will do that. Can you please advise what makes the difference between the flooded lead acid battery and the AGM battery? Like, if the 2 batteries are both rated at 350 CCAs, does the AGM battery actually turn the engine over better than the flooded lead acid battery? Not doubting you, just would like to learn more about the kinds of batteries. Thanks

Usually I will have to hit the key a few times to get it to turn over. The battery is only a year old. Maybe it needs a recharge? I used the UTV yesterday to clean up a bunch of branches and downed trees. It was idling most of the time, but it didn't stall or overheat. Ran like a champ. Used the winch several times, too. On the topic of the winch, the switch reads "in" but it's pushing the steel rope out. Did they wire it wrong? I wonder if I could just reverse the wires on the switch.

I have a 350 CCA lead acid battery in my 410. I still have the occasional slow start. Does the AGM battery work better?

Yeah, mine is a Linhai platform. I don't have much time on it, but it's been reliable. I have had some starting issues, but I believe that's battery related.

I haven't had any bad experiences with Massimo, but I haven't needed any repairs yet, either. I did need a new roof, as the original one blew off while it was being shipped. I bought mine through an eBay auction, so it was not covered by any warranty. They shipped out a new one without hesitation. I was expecting to have to pay, so this was a great thing for me. I've also been able to chat with a technician who has helped me with some questions. All around, it's been a good experience for me. However, there's some here who have not had such a good experience. I figure you will hear from them soon.

If it's fuel injected, you could possibly hook up the fuel pump to a power source and use it to drain the tank.

Oh Joe.....ever since you bought your Massimo you've been suspicious 🤣🤣🤣

I may have gone too far when I did my last oil change, but I removed the belly pan. It made things much easier, as I could see what I was doing much better. I believe there's only a few machine screws holding it on.

By "cylinder gasket" do you mean the head gasket? Keep in mind that these engines are usually a clone of another manufacturer, such as Yamaha, Kawasaki, etc. If you do some research you may be able to find out what other manufacturers out there are using an identical engine. This can lead to parts that you originally thought were no longer available. I'm sure other members here can chime in and offer some help with that.

Could the flare at the fitting be leaking?

I checked the parts diagram for my T-boss, and the parts are the same, just numbered differently. Assuming that the starter meshes with the idler gear, which meshes with the crank gear, you should only be able to spin the idler gear one way. If I am correct in my assumption, your starter clutch (#2) is bad. I don't know the level of difficulty in replacing the starter clutch, so I can't help you there.

Did you try the Teflon tape?
