  1. Should have posted an update but got it running a few weeks ago. Replaced the ignition coil and HT lead, cleaned all connections out with electroclean and tightened a few connections and she fired right up. Now it's on to all the other issues I have with this third hand machine
  2. So managed to get out to the UTV after work today and after struggling with the connections for a few minutes was able to test the inputs to the ECM. Everyone who said to read the fine print, you're not wrong! Tested 12v constant at pin 18 and 12v at pin 15 when ignition switch turned on. When the ignition switch is turned off the 12v disappears. Is this looking as though the ECM is faulty or is there more than I can test with the ECM to make sure it's giving the correct outputs. Been reading through the threads in this forum trying to find an answer but there is a lot of information to go through!
  3. New to owning a UTV and got myself a project one as my first one. Changed out the clutch and clutch housing etc. as the UTV was having problems going up hills and getting up to speed but now in the process of putting it all back together it won't start. Also changed fan gears for shifter Here's what I've found so far (apologies for the bullet points); Motor will crank over and makes good turnover speed. If I use spark plug tester or ground to engine, no spark. At the connector to the ignition coil I get consistent 12v on the white wire and nothing at the black. Read in one of the posts that the 12v to the white wire should be intermittent when trying to get a spark at the plug? Tested ignition coil using a multimeter on resistance setting. Between two pins I get 0.46 ohms or thereabouts. Between either pin and spark plug boot I get somewhere around 16k ohms. Not really found a good video on testing these coils but think those are good readings. Checked fuses in fuse box and are all good. Fuel pump cycles on when I turn key to on position. I disconnected the ignition coil to remove the clutch etc. to get it out the way but don't think I've damaged anything in the process. Can anyone point me in the direction of what to try next? Been trying to use the manual but considering the test procedure for the ignition coil is for the wrong type of coil, it's not been too helpful. I've read on another post about checking the ECM the two pins with 12v etc so will take a look at that next but any ideas that could get this machine started again are welcome!
  4. Evening All, Finally took ownership of a 2015 Massimo MSU 500 and am in need of some spare parts to get it fixed up and running properly again. Where is everyone shopping for spares? Found a couple of places that stock what I need but prices vary wildly and some stores seem to be ludicrous! Have visited the big warehouse websites as well and found most of what I'm looking for but not everything! Thanks in advance!
  5. Hey all! Uncle's got a Massimo MSU 500 that he's been having some trouble with and I've been trying to help him out. He bought it used from some guy and I don't think it was in the greatest shape when he got it. The only thing he's done to it is add his Army Air Cav and Vietnam stickers to it. Started off saying it would shift really hard when setting off. Found the dipstick and it was low! So did an oil, air filter, oil filter and spark plug change for him today and it's setting off 1000 times better now. However, it's almost impossible to shift the gear lever. We still had the engine cowl off and I was having to tap the lever on the engine end with a hammer to get it to shift. I don't think it's because of how hard he was pushing the brakes because he seemed to be pushing pretty hard. Got it loosened up a little but still really difficult to get it to move between H L and R. There is what looks like a flashing front diff on the panel when it's running, and a noise coming from the front diff/axle but I don't know if that has something to do with it. Uncle ordered the tune up kit from Dr Motorcycle and he included gear oil, but can't for the life of us figure out where we check this and where it needs to be changed. I've read somewhere that we need to check the diff levels, but that wouldn't make a difference in how it shifts would it? Any and all help welcome as I'd like to get Uncle's side by side running again and allow him to get about his property again.
