Shine pen light into chain and lower sprocket cavity.....just to be sure the chain in on the sprocket.  Keep tension on the chain and tie a nylon twist string (not braided as they do not stretch) to the "top" of the timing chain with the other end tied off on the roll cage.  The top tie point must be very close to the position the cam gear will install to.  Slide in the cam gear and milk the chain around the gear and then keep the chain and gear tight so the chain cannot jump of the lower sprocket.  Mount gear to cam and verify the timing dots and sling weights.  The 3 hand fix.   BEN

      trying to finish assembly "new" 2021 Coleman ut 400
      By buckrub
      Hey guys! Newbie here. I'm an old man who's better with plowing a mule (4-legged kind) than these newfangled beasts. I, and a friend of mine, just bought new Coleman sxs and are having to finish the assembly. I've been reading on this site and I'm falling on the mercy of you experts. The only way I'm an expert is that an "ex" is a has been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure. LOL First off, the 2 buggies have no ignition switches. They seem to mount on the dash, not the opening in the steering wheel shaft cover, so we ordered new ones that are supposed to fit. They are 8 inches long, and have a 4-wired white plugin which is slightly rectangled when looking at the end of the plug. The trouble is there's nothing to plug into. There is a three-wire grey plug close enough to reach the four-wire plug, but of course, they are not compatible. 
      Secondly, the blinker, light, ect. unit on steering wheel just spins around when touched. I see no way in heaven or earth to secure it. I've looked at a diagram on the Powersports site, but can't detect how it mounted. Fellows I'd be so grateful for any help with this. Me and my mule will even plow your garden for free, for your help. LOL

      Coleman 550 Loose Timing Chain
      By Copperline
      I have a Coleman 550 (hisun). Wouldnt start and was sucking instead of blowing through the spark plug hole. Got to the timing chain and it was very loose and for sure the timing was way off. Got the tensioner off and set it to TDC and got the cam gear back aligned. Put the chain back on and set the tensioner as instructed and the chain is still very loose. I extended the tensioner as far as it would go to test and the chain is still loose. 
      Any ideas what could be broken or wrong? Why would the chain be so loose?

      2012 hisun hs700 spark / timing
      By grck1
      Hi all have a issue with non start
       Turns over happily,  can smell fuel when crank and have check the injector is fireing.  The spark seems weak and spraying easy start down the intake it won't even cough. Have checked all wiring and repair some dodgy bits, now thinking the pick up Coil maybe bad . Check the manual and it gives a resistance of 459 to 561ohms as spec, mine is reading 204. 
       
      Would this indicate a bad pick up Coil and cause the no start,  weak spark? 
      Would the lower reading resistance alter the spark timing? 
       
      Ready to burn the thing at the moment lol
       
      Thanks geoff

      2013 Hisun HS800 timing
      By Fabio
      Thank for having me here!
      New proud owner  of a 13 hisun HS 800 and here is some back story.
      I got the machine apart, most of the head and timing chain and some electrical.
      Now, i put everything back together using the original service manual but now im stuck on timing the engine.
      When i look at flywheel i have 2 marks , but both looks like it says "1" .
      I'm confusing in how do i set the timing on this machine and if anyone has done anything like that and could shed some light on this, it would be great.
      im using the motorcycle doctor instruction but even on his , show that i should have T1 and T2 making on flywheel.
      here some pictures of those marking
