T-boss 410

I can see it on a small displacement push mower, but on a larger engine that was designed for off-road use, I would assume that there should be more filter than a foam piece.

I thought so, as well. I can see that as a pre-filter, but not as the whole filter element itself. My Ariens mower has a foam pre-filter around a paper element. When I first saw the picture that you posted, I thought maybe somehow the paper element was omitted. I stand corrected.

My bad, I wasn't aware that you had the 550.

Here's what I found:

I thought that was just a pre-filter, and there was a paper element inside.

How do I test the starter's amp draw?

That was an excellent explanation! The OEM battery is rated at 35ah's, and the one I just purchased is 32ah. I would think that it should be able to start it, since I don't have any aftermarket devices. It will start, but it takes a few hits on the switch to get it to spin past the compression stroke, then it will fire right up. That's the part that has me so confused. I guess I could trace the wiring for the starter and check the connections for tightness and clean them if necessary.

Is there possibly a correlation between the rated amp hours and the cca's? I ask because some batteries don't give a cca rating, but do give an amp hour rating.

Yeah, it's a lawn tractor battery. I was going on what was in it when I got it. As for the measurements, the battery tray is only big enough for the U1 size battery. And with the slope of the hood, I doubt I could go any taller. I could use the dimensions of the U1, but those seem to be limited to no more than 350cca. But if that's enough to turn yours over easily, I can assume that I have some other issues to deal with.

My battery is a U1. I can use either a U1 or a U1R. I haven't found a battery in this group so far that is rated any higher than 350cca's.

Did you ever track down the noise?

I did some surfing on the internet for a battery, and the highest cca I could locate that would fit physically was 370. Is that the highest they go?

Are they gonna be gold?😁

Did you locate the source of the noise?

Hmmm..., the manual calls for one with 225cca. I thought I was doing well with a rating of 330cca. Is there a chart or something that shows what cca is good for a hp rating of an engine? I would find that very helpful.

Merry Christmas everyone! Joe, is Santa bringing you a new UTV? Or at least new to you, and not a Massimo?

I guess this is one for the general forum. Does anyone experience a slow turn over by the starter? I had a battery with a bad cell, and it was replaced. It wouldn't even turn over. Now it will start, but I have to hit the key a few times before it will spin over fast enough to start. The battery is a 330cca unit, so I would think that it would easily spin a single cylinder engine. This is for a Massimo T-boss 410. The engine is a 352cc, 25.5hp fuel injected unit. Where should I start looking? It's a 2019 UTV, with only 14.6 hours on it. In my mind, I can only think that the connections somewhere are loose, or the starter is not up to snuff. Could tracing the wires for the starter system be difficult? Is there a way to test the starter? Thanks much!

Ain't it, though!

There ya go! Finally fixed!

I are a proud redneck!!! Lol. At least, I used to be. Grew up in a very small town in the foothills of the Appalachians. You know, 1 leg shorter than the other, etc. I hope you get to the bottom of the problem with your UTV.

Is this your version of "you might be a redneck if"?

There ya go!!! Nothing better than redneck videos 👍👍

Hey, that ain't right!!!

Well, there ya go! Do me a favor, and get someone to record this. Excellent entry for America's Funniest Videos!

Sounds like you've put some thought into this. You no longer have to be concerned, and you get some measure of revenge on the new boyfriend. It's genius in its simplicity!!!👍 But, can you really run at 20mph?
