I'm putting extra head gaskets on my engine to lower the compression ratio which has been way too high with the supercharger. Decided to pull the engine and tear it down to give it a lookover. Anyway in doing so, I almost got hopelessly tangled up in the maze of wires, hoses and lines around the engine. That was enough, tore it all out to redo it, that's going to be a job! Thought others would be interested in how I saw things.

A cable runs from the parking brake handle to near the rear of the frame to the master cylinder mounted on a 5 pound bracket(weighted it) from which the pressure line goes under the engine where it splits to two lines which run back forward to near the swing arm pivot points then back again on each side to the brake calipers. A fat 3 foot long hose runs from the fuel filter near the gas tank to the fuel pump which is on around the lower left side of the engine. From there a line runs another 2 feet to the fuel regulator from which another 5 foot line returns back to the tank along with a short 1 foot line going to the injectors. I'm not going to even attempt to describe the electrical nightmare. For the parking brake, I moving the master cylinder up to just behind the brake lever on a new aluminum bracket/lever arm and connecting it with a rod, no cable. The outlet at the master cylinder will tee and a line will go directly to each brake. The original bracket for the master cylinder and the plate it mounts on gets removed. The fuel pump will be mounted just behind the gas tank where I can get to it without standing on my head should I need to. The heavy hose will run just a few inches to it and the regulator will be just above it with its short return line then a 2 foot line will go to the injectors. I figure I can get enough for the left over copper after redoing the wiring to pay for, well, something really nice. I have a feeling that when all is said and done that I will be between 10 and 15 pounds lighter and the most exciting part is I'll and the cool air will be able to see my engine on the left side. I also made a new oil pan which holds a lot more oil and I can drain without removing anything or reaching way in. My oil seperator canister is also going on the rear wall of the panel behind the seat, again eliminating a lot of hose. I'll do pics when done.

Wow, I'm way behind on pics.

Merry Chrismas and Happy New Years to everyone. You are all a great bunch of people and friends.

One suggestion about fuel lines, I used that clear, Tygon or POLYURETHANE, Ether, or whatever it's called, and found that it has a problem with the pressures on the Trooper, I had it develop a very small leak past the clamp where the screw type clamp overlaps itself. I think it would be wise to stay with the reinforced black rubber fuel line.

I had a fuel line let loose once and it sprayed gas all over the engine. Very dangerous. I'm going to braded steel reinforced lines.

And Rocmoc, I may have lots of time on my hands but can't seem to find any free time. Stay too busy. I was a millionair plus two different times in my life. Never managed to hang onto it too well. Then I retired and found out that it isn't about money at all but all about time. You work all your life so that someday you can get the time to play all day every day doing what ever you want. This is what I did when I was a kid, build things and now I get to go back to my childhood and do it some more. Life is great. And thanks, I may need all the luck I can get on this wiring venture. A little intimidating but exciting. Between this and the engine management system, my Trooper will be down for a WHILE.

Lenny

PS, I also changed the frame so now I can take the oil pan off without pulling the engine.

You are preaching to the choir. Ask anyone who know me the most valuable thing to me, except wife, cats & kids, is time. Even more so than money. You can not buy it on any market in the world. I can't find the time to play with or maintain hobbies or toys because of my adult responsibilities, bummer. The second is I work to play. Never grew up, stop every day at 3pm, the time school let out, and hate to work in the summer. The school system ruined me or was it they made the better me.

One of my greatest concerns is the deterioration of the rubber items on the Trooper, boots, covers & etc. Even tho mine is kept inside except when played with, the rubber is all starting to crack.

Just as long as you are having FUN!

My rubber stuff is going too and I also keep it inside. All we can do is address things as they come and fix them to be dependable and long lasting. I think not keeping my millions made me a better person too. I havn't lost track of those things that really matter in life. Besides, if I would have actually bought that Turbo Carrera when I was young, I would probably be dead today.

Let me rephrase that, I know it would be better to stay with the reinforced black rubber fuel line. My Tygon or POLYURETHANE, Ether, or whatever it's called just developed a 1" split and started spraying fuel all over the place. Sure glad it didn't burn. If you have it, replace it.

Don't worry about it Jeff, you have all your bad luck behind you. It won't burn. You should have clear sailing from here on out.

Kinarfi, where is a match when you need it? LOL! Hang tough.

Man, that's a scary thought, not the fire but the building of a new one and correcting and fixing all the things I have done to this one. Might be fun though, to avoid the errors I made on this one.

Kinarfi :D

      2018 Hisun Sector Crew 1000 engine die after about 15 minutes run
      By Hugh
      My 2018 Hisun sector crew engine cut off after about 15 minutes run. There is no indicator of what is wrong, no error code just die and won't restart until it cool down. I notice that the fan is not running but the temp indicator is on low temp, no overheat indicator. I checked the radiator fluid, it is cool to touch.
      Cooling fans are working, I can hear it running once awhile if I can get the engine warm up enough.  Thank you for all the help.

      HOWTO- Code Scanner & Read Engine Parameters
      By aefron88
      This post will explain how to hook up your PC to the ECU of a Hisun/Coleman/Etc UTV to be able to read error codes & engine parameters for troubleshooting purposes.
      This is applicable to all small engines using the Delphi MT-05 ECU. This should cover all fuel injected Hisun models, as well as various other Chinese FI engines, as the Delphi MT-05 ECU seems to be the favored ECU solution.
      Even though we get actual engine error codes to display on the dash, sometimes we have “pending codes” (not yet confirmed by the ECU) or other intermittent issues that are hard to diagnose, for example a poorly connected sensor that may give intermittent false readings, or a sensor that’s putting out bad date, but not bad enough for the ECU to realize.
      The setup requires 2 cables, which are available for around $25 combined, a PC with a USB port, and some charityware software called “HUD ECU Hacker”. This gives the same functionality as the $300 dealer code scanner for a fraction of the price.
      In searching I found info about HUD ECU Hacker, but I have yet to see info anywhere about how to hook it up to a Hisun, so I took the leap and bought some cables, and made it work. I will show a step by step of how to do so in post two.
      I will be breaking this down into 2 posts:
      Delphi ECU Info & Overview (This post) System setup & use Delphi ECU Info (Skip ahead to the next post if your eyes glaze over technical details)
      The Delphi MT-05 ECU was developed to allow small engines to use fuel injection. A fuel injection system requires feedback from various sensors to operate efficiently. This feedback allows the adjustment of ignition timing, fuel injection volume, etc to efficiently and cleanly produce the most power possible from a given engine.
      The MT-05 ECU has a number of sensors that are required for proper functioning including; Coolant temp, crankshaft position, intake temp, intake pressure, exhaust O2, throttle position, as well as some other optional sensors that are used on more complex vehicles.
      From the sensors the ECU adjusts: Fuel injector timing/pulse, Idle air control valve, and ignition coil

      The Delphi MT-05 puts out diagnostic data, however it is not ODB2 like a modern car, where is where it gets tricky reading it. There are three options, there is an old 16 bit piece of software Delphi has that is not able to run on a modern computer, there is the motorscanner tool for dealers ($300), or there is freeware HUD ECU Hacker with the proper cables.

      Grinding Transmission in new GY6 engine
      By Oldman
      I installed a new GY6 150cc engine in a Bull Dog Pup 200 and when I put it in drive, it grinds for a second and then runs fine.  Works great when i place it in reverse.  Could it be from it idling too high?   Any help would be greatly appreciated.
      Thanks!!!!

      Lower Radiator Hose ID - UTV 400
      By PossumTruck
      Greetings,
      I have a client that wants me to install a heater of some sort to aid in cold weather starting (she uses it at her business, has had issues starting the last few days in sub-zero). I would prefer a coolant heater to a pan heater (silicone pad), but I cant for the life of me find the diameter of the coolant hoses. Heck, I'm not even sure if it would work as well in this application given how long the hose is compared to tractors and trucks I have installed them in. 
      Any advice you could give me would be GREATLY appreciated.
