2013 Hisun HS800 timing


Fabio

Recommended Posts

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 instruc20231128_161453.thumb.jpg.928966cccb57d89e2d41597cebf9bbaa.jpgtion but even on his , show that i should have T1 and T2 making on flywheel.

here some pictures of those marking

You have ONLY a "hash line" to mark the TDC for the V-Twin engine cylinders.  Just like the service manual error for the early 750/920 CC Yamaha Virago (motorcycle) you can time the cams and thus the valves to be closed at TDC---ON COMPRESSION STROKE----- BUT be  phased wrong.......meaning it will run but have  "rough"  power strokes.    The IGN timing is triggered off the crank and will fire a few degrees BEFORE TDC every time.  With a 4 stroke engine, the crank turns at 2X speed as the cam.  There are TWO times the T comes up WITH THE VALVES CLOSED as required so the piston doesn't bend the valve faces.......COMPRESSION and OVERLAP (Exhaust CLOSES and the Intake starts to OPEN).  This is called the Wasted Spark IGN setup.  The cylinder can ONLY fire on the Compression stroke ....turning into the POWER stroke BUT the fuel air mixture is "dead" burnt gasses (being pushed out (Exhaust) and not Compressed before a new fuel air charge is sucked into the cylinder (Intake)).

Back to the phase of the 2 individual Power strokes.  The phase angle of the IGN spark pulses (timed off the crank) is determined by the V bank angle.  BMW and Wings have a Boxer type engine where the "twin" cylinder is 180 deg apart on the crankshaft rotation.....shared coil pack......one cylinder is on Compression (fire spark) while the "twin" is at Overlap (waste spark) and vice versa.  British VERTICAL twins had the both pistons on the same throw (both pistons rise and fall at the same time) and as a result the single cam lobes (push rod engine) are 180 deg apart using a separate gear reduction and dual points.  This makes the firing 180 deg apart (cam) or 360 deg (crank) and the distinctive smooth sounding exhaust note-----BUT a horrible vibration that sheds tank chrome, gauges, fenders. etc.  H-D, Yamaha, SOME Honda Shadows (2 versions of their V-twin) (like your motor) have the cylinders spaced around 45 to 60 deg of separation.  I'll use 45 deg in this instruction set on how it works.

Cam markings are for BOTH the respective TDC of the crank, BUT at 1/2 the rotation speed, they determine the Compression and Overlap cycle......Lobes both down is obviously the Compression.......Lobed spaced around 90 deg is the overlap (Exhaust valve is CLOSING) and the Intake valve is OPENING).  You have to pick the correct cam position for the each of the TDC cylinder marks on the crank.  You have 2 cylinders, 2 cams, 2 cam chains, 2 cam chain tensiioners.

Timing has to be in the correct sequence or degree of separation between spark firing on the Compression TDC of the Front and Rear cylinders for a smooth run.

You CAN have the cylinders fire at only 45 deg apart as the crank turns in normal rotation.  You will have 2 power strokes 45 deg apart and then "coast thru an additional 675 deg  of DEAD TIME  of the 720 deg (2 x 360) 4 stroke cycle.

Exhaust note will be pop--pop (0--45 deg)----------------------------OVERLAPx2------------------------------pop--pop (720--765 deg)---------------------------------OVERLAPx2)-----------------------------------------pop--pop etc.  This will "run" but is not an "even power output" the flywheel can smooth out.  To prevent this assembly build error, most of the engine suppliers have the crank marked T1 and T2 for cylinders 1 and 2 and not need a manual to decode their marks.

The smoothest power strokes are 180 deg apart....ALMOST impossible with a V-Twin.  So go with the next best thing...........time the cams at the greatest angle of separation.  For 60 deg V, the fire points you want are 0 and 300 deg.......NOT 0 and 60 deg.  For 45 deg V, the fire points you want are 0 and 315 deg.  That said using this rule of thumb, you can time any V-Twin cams without service manual information.

USE CARE TO KEEP THE CAM CHAINS TIGHT ENOUGH TO PREVENT JUMPING OFF THE LOWER CRANK GEAR.  NO CAMS AT THIS TIME.

STEP 1:  Determine the direction of rotation (CW or CCW facing the crank) of the crank.  Usually have a circle arrow.....BUT if none, rotate the crank and feel for and listen for the starter rotation.  Turning the crank in the forward direction (normal after starting) will be "free" and rotating backwards will engage the one-way starter sprag bearing and turn the starter thru the reduction gears (harder to turn).  Your 2nd picture looks like an "half arrow" pointing to the direction of rotation??????Maybe????

STEP 2:  Rotate the crank in the same direction and bring up any timing mark "T" in the window.  Use a copper wire to determine and select which piston is UP and TDC.  IF REAR cylinder is TDC (up) continue another 45 deg of rotation until the FRONT cylinder is TDC (up) and the "T" in the window.  I like to use a 3/8" breaker bar and 12 point socket (with spark plugs out there is no load) and align the handle with the cylinder that the piston is UP at TDC.  NO guess as to which cylinder I am working on.  Personal preference is to start with the FRONT cylinder.  I usually add a paint mark to the FRONT  "T". 

STEP 3:  Rotate (IN THE SAME DIRECTION) toward the REAR cylinder "T".....should almost be a complete rotation of the crank.......315 deg.........the desired smooth firing order.

STEP 4:  Rotate (same direction) the crank the 45 deg to the "T" (with now a paint mark).  Here it is hard to Install the FRONT cam with both lobes just touching the cam rockers.  Install the cam with the lobes down and valves closed.  Double check the alignment of  the index marks on crank and cam.

STEP 5:  Install the tensioner (wind up and hold to load).  Tighten the 2 bolts to hold the chain tensioner.  Release the wind up.  DONE.  The cam and chain are now held in position to the crank "T" mark.

STEP 6:  Rotate the crank thru the 315 deg to the next "T" REAR cylinder at IT'S TDC.

STEP 7:  Install the REAR cam with both lobes down (compression) and the valves closed and align the index marks like before.

STEP 8:  Install the cam chain tensioner like before.

STEP 9:  Double check the REAR alignment marks like before.

STEP 10:  Slowly hand rotate the crank thru 2 complete cycles (4 rotations).  From where you left the crank in Step 6, rotate 45 deg to the Front Cylinder OVERLAP TDC.  The Exhaust valve should just be closing and the Intake valve just opening.  Rotate 315 deg to the OVERLAP of the rear cylinder.  Rotate until the FIRE position of TDC Front cylinder comes up in the next 45 deg.  Check the timing marks alignment.  REPEAT AGAIN to be sure.  This is to check valve timing AND for NO binding with valve/piston INTERFERENCE.

That's it!!!!                        Install spark plugs in their boots and lay on engine.....watching for the spark.  If you turn on the IGN SW (KEY ON) only------NOT START------and rotate the engine over by hand, you will see a spark for every T but only one is usable at the Compression TDC.  The OVERLAP spark is wasted on the burnt exhaust gas AND no compression.  My final check is to use the crank with the starter and put a finger over the open spark plug holes.  You should have a "semi-suck" on finger tip spark (overlap) and a nice compression blow off POP when the plug fires for the Power stroke.....................for each cylinder.

This is great info. thanks Ben!

Now my question is, between the 2 marks, which one im going to refer to?

Also, how can i figure out the that the first cylinder will be on compression stroke without having to remove the cam?

Again, thanks for all that info, now that i have some time between the holidays ill be spending some time on this, trying to se if i can get it running

I was under the impression the machine was tore down and you were installing the cams.  I start with the completely assembled  engine and how to check the cam timing.

Determine the direction of rotation of the crank.  The crank pin is NOT offset.  Both rods are on the single crank pin.

Rocker cover is off.  Spark plugs OUT.  Use a copper wire about a foot long and insert into the FRONT cylinder spark plug hole.  Rotate the crank in the forward direction.  Observe the copper wire as to IF going UP or DN.  If going Dn keep rotating until it is  going UP (heading back up) is the piston coming up toward TDC.  When close to TDC, the wire will stop moving....STALL.....and then head back down.  Rotate backwards to TDC.  The exact TDC is in the middle of the STALL.  Rotate the crank back and forth and note first movement points where the copper wire starts to go DN on both sides.....go to the center of these two points is TDC..................Could be Compression or OVERLAP.

HOW TO DETERMINE IF THE CAM IS IN THE OVERLAP       OR        COMPRESSION TDC position.

Look at the rocker arms.......If on Compression, the cam lobes will be DOWN and if cool, some looseness (spec'd Valve clearance).              If on OVERLAP, the lobes will be UP (EX valve just closing and the IN valve just opening)   AND   with the rockers TIGHT and NO valve clearance.

Look for the timing marks on the crank and case.......clean and put a paint dot to indicate TDC for the front cylinder.  If having a problem, I have used the drive pulley to make and mark some timing marks.  Position the crank to the marked TDC timing marks and in the CAM timing mark in the desired Compression position.

Pull the copper wire and go to the REAR cylinder.  Rotate the crank in the same forward direction.  The TDC and Compression should be in about 270 deg.  I looked at the engine and it is a 90 deg V-Twin.  Check the cam lobes and rocker as before like the Front cylinder.

The cam phasing has to have the greatest CRANK angle between the pair of their TDC between Front and Rear   COMPRESSION positions......this is the smoothest power stroke configuration.

When doing the reasssembly, set the Front cylinder TDC/Compression and rotate the crank forward to check for the 270 deg. between FT to RR.  If not, it will be 90 deg....not wanted and the cam will loaded  with rocker contact on the lobes.  To fix, rotate the crank another 360 deg with the cam doing 180 deg and into the OVERLAP position.  Unhook the cam chain and rotate the crank again 360 deg and reattach the cam chain....tensioner reinstall.  Check again for the timing FT to RR for 270 deg rotation between the the OVERLAP positions of the cams.

      Just received delivery of a 2024 AMP Pro.  Thought I'd start a thread with my impressions as I use it and learn more.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of real-world usage information out there on this model.  Hope this will help others as they research.
      Intended Use Cases
      Fire mitigation / slash removal from a 5 acre forested and well-gamble-oaked property.  The previous owners thought as much about fire mitigation as I do about fashion: not much. Snow removal Stump pulling General hauling (rock, lumber, etc.) Weimaraner energy depletion.  Wasn't an original use case, but a nice added bonus.  Experiences So Far
      Wasn't impressed that two of the bumpers on the underside of the bed where it sits upon the frame were missing.  The metal on metal contact has damaged the powder coating and the frame.  I expect a little better QC.
      I've only put a few hours on it, so not a ton to report on usage.  It isn't quiet; it's silent.  I can't even detect an electric note from the motor. I removed (and subsequently replaced) the motor cover noticed that the motor is German and made by Schambuller.  The motor controller is Italian and made by Dana TM4.  Given the operating specs of both I found on the web, I suspect both are higher quality than the previous Navitas (which is supposed to be decent).  The motor is rated at 25 hp and 71.5 lb-ft of torque.  It feels very powerful.  All the torque is delivered instantly, if desired.
      The bed is huge and has an electric dump as standard.  Great feature but would like it to go up a bit more.  Probably not feasible from an engineering perspective, but I want and I need ;).
      Power steering is nice, but vague.  Probably common to many UTVs, but I am accustomed to more direct results from input.  Plan early and plan often.
      In our first full day of usage, we hauled about 1/2 as much slash as the entire rest of the year when I was doing it by hand cart.  I may get fatter, but I'll also get more done.  After a few days of usage, the battery meter has gone down by 1/10th. 
      Until next time...

      I have a 2017 Intimidator XD4 800cc 4x4.  It will run great and then it's like it goes into safe mode and only runs on 1 cylinder.  It's not fouling out the plug when it happens.  Some times when I stop and restart it, it works fine.  First I thought it was a spark issue, then a fuel issue, but I feel like it's a short in the wiring some place.

      Our R&D team just finished the first unit and wanted to show you guys. Need more cargo space without losing the functionality of being able to fold down the seat to use the full bed? Eagle Mountain Outfitters, the maker of the original metal UTV roof, has designed a foldable rear cargo basket to meet your needs. Price is $625 + $30 shipping.  If you have any question's, please reach out to me at [email protected]

      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      I have a 2012 Bennche Bighorn 700X.  I bought it used.  It had been sitting in a field for several years untouched.  I put a new sun gear in the shifter, new shifter linkage due to the old one having been patched, and a new battery (and of course fresh fuel).  The machine cranked and ran beautifully.  I had it over a year and then the machine quit running.  As it would not stay cranked, I narrowed the problem down to a bad IAC valve.  I replaced it and it ran as good as new/old.  Fast forward, the machine started to act like reverse wasn't catching and would not always back up when in gear.  Then forward quit.  I assumed a bad CVT belt and got one.  Started removing the bolts from the cover and (3) just turn in the housing without coming loose.  (2) are on the bottom, so very little room to do anything with them.  I tried cranking the machine again to see the belt move since I can move the cover enough to see the belt and now the machine will not crank.  It turns over fine.  It gets gas to the injector and has spark.  I can spray cleaner down her throat and she would run until it ran out.  I have replaced the IAC twice and put a new injector with no change.  I went out and put the old injector back in to see if that made any difference and, well, it did.  I tried to crank the machine and the starter is stuck trying to turn the machine over even with the key off.  I have to disconnect the battery to stop it.  Before I shoot this thing, what am I missing?  Is this an ECM problem or something else I am not seeing?  Been dealing with these Gremlins for over a month now and weeds are starting to overtake the motor due to it not moving.  I would love to get the thing running first and any ideas of getting those CVT cover bolts out would be extremely helpful.  Thanks in advance.
