T-boss 410

The gear marked #3 in the diagram should turn freely in one direction, but not in the other direction. If it won't turn in either direction, you've found the problem. There's a one way clutch or bearing that will allow the gear #3 to spin freely in one direction, but the opposite direction is what starts the engine. The starter gear stays meshed with gear #3. Does the starter spin at all? It may be spinning in the wrong direction. Ask me how I know 😡. If you can get something into the hole that houses the gear #3 besides your finger, such as a screwdriver, try to spin that gear using that. If you still can't get the gear to spin in either direction, you'll most likely have to replace the one way bearing.

Yeah, found out while I was trying to hunt down a starting issue with mine. Not sure why they designed it that way, but it's Chinese design, so who knows? You would think that the starter would fail quickly when it's spinning with the engine.

The starter in my Massimo T-boss has no Bendix drive. The starter gear stays meshed with the crank gear. There's a one way clutch of sorts on the crank gear. The starter switch engages the starter which will spin the crank gear only one way due to the clutch. The crank gear will freewheel in the opposite direction. Sorta hard to understand (at least for me). Even my riding mower has a Bendix drive. I don't know if any other UTV manufacturers make theirs the same way.

Good to hear!

I take it the leak is at the fitting? Is it both fittings? Did you maybe try some plumber's tape? Wrap that around the threads on both fittings and see if that helps.

I don't know if this applies to your model, but on mine (2019 T-boss 410), the starter meshes with a big gear that is a one way clutch sort of thing. That big gear will turn freely one way, the other way is what starts the engine. If you can get a finger or a screwdriver in there and push on the gear both ways. If it moves only one way, the clutch is good (at least I think it is). Try pushing it both ways. It should lock up in one direction, but freewheel the other way. Hope this helps.

Is it possible to get to the gear that the starter mates with? If you can, try to manually push it both ways. It should easily go one way, but not the other. If it goes both ways, it's a sort of clutch that will only allow the gear to go one way. If the gear isn't the issue, somehow the starter is spinning in the wrong direction. Mine did this, and I had to tinker with it to get it to go the correct direction. I don't know what causes this, but I have experienced it first hand. I don't know how much they have changed over the years, but mine is a 2019 T-boss 410. Is yours using a Linhai engine?

I don't believe there's a remote oil cooler, so I would have nothing to attach the oil filter to.

You just may be correct. I hope I haven't just jinxed myself 😯

So, did you actually locate the filter finally?

Gotcha! However, I have a twin cylinder Briggs and Stratton engine on a riding mower that is equipped with an oil filter. Why would this be different?

Well, when all else fails you can always call the headquarters in Texas. Or maybe get an email address for a technician who can help.

You would think it wouldn't be difficult to locate. There's nothing in the manual about it?

Just curious if this can be done. Even if it's a remote filter, I would feel better if it actually has a filter. Thanks 👍

Don't know if this will help, but I have a 2019 T-boss 410, and there's no oil filter. I understand that there's a big difference between your 2022 760 and my 2019 410, but if you look under the engine from under the machine, you should see a hole that is where the drain plug is located. There's no oil filter (disappointed in that), but there's some sort of spring on the drain plug. I have wondered if there's some way to engineer an oil filter, like maybe remotely. I doubt I helped you, but maybe if you find the drain plug, you'll be able to get the answer to your question. Good luck! Let us know what you find out.

I actually hate to ask this question, but could the parking brake be engaged?

Excellent, thanks!

Let us know if you were successful!

Maybe a dumb question, but do you have your foot firmly on the brake pedal? Mine would do the same thing, unless I pressed hard on the pedal. I did some adjustments to the brake switch, and the problem was solved.

I believe the lower radiator hose is the return line. Are you sure there isn't a place near the thermostat for a temp sensor to be installed?

There ya go!

Since it's an EFI engine and thus PCM controlled, would it be that the injector may be partially plugged, or something is restricting the air flow?

Buddy, I've been using that phrase a whole lot lately.

Dude, it's got me flustered. The only thing I haven't done is replace the battery cables. Maybe I should try some cables that are larger in diameter?

I agree with you, Joe. If they made a filter that could remove all the dirt and other contaminants, we would have much greater oil change frequencies.
