Hot start issue on the T2

Anyone have any issues with starting the T2 once it's been running for a while?

Once the engine is hot, I regularly have to turn the key twice to get it going again. Once I do that, it fires up after two or three seconds. It'll never start on the first shot if it's hot. This is nothing major, but it is annoying.

I've tried tapping the gas on the initial shot, but that was a mistake. I'm guessing the mixture is slightly rich on the hot restart because of this, but I'm not sure.

It turns over just fine both times. I'll explain what I do. I turn the key and the engine turns but doesn't start. I turn the key off for a second or two, then turn the key again. The engine starts fine after that.

I heard of this problem on some Nissans, and Nissan had found no fix - engine starts fine, but only on the second attempt. The manual does have a troubleshoot section for hot start issues, but they speak your language Kinarfi, not mine...

I think I may have the same problem, only cold starts though, but I'm old and retired and have learned that nothing really matters, so if it starts on second or third try, I go play and forget that it didn't start like my GMC that I climb into, put the key in, turn it, it starts, and away I go. I seldom if every crank for more than a second, if it hasn't started by then, I hit the pedal once and try again.

Your fuel pump may not be priming good. Maybe try to turn the key on and let the pump prime then turn the key back off before trying to start and then turn it on again and try to start onlyafter it primes a second time. The pump has a check valve in it to hold the prime pressure. If it is leaking slightly it could cause the problem.

Yeah. I found that doing what Kinarfy does with a cold start helps - pump the gas once before turning the switch. I'll try your idea.

I wouldn't have mentioned it, except that I have the only Joyner in Panama. This means everyone comes and looks, and starting trouble on a hot engine is slightly embarrassing.

Try to hold the throttle to the floor when starting it hot. It could be flooded and holding the pedal all the way down puts it into flood clear mode when starting. In flood clear mode, the computer won't inject any fuel so flooding can clear.

As Lenny mentioned to me over the weekend for every hour of riding he does he spends 8 hours working on it and modifying it. He truly enjoys it that is for sure. I am just appreciative that he shares his knowledge with all of us because it sure makes fixing our problems a helluva lot easier! We lost another contributor in Rocmoc because he sold his. He was at the Jamboree for just a few hours with his new purchase a Dune Buggy with a VW engine. That is no fun to work on compared to a Joyner and you know it Rocmoc. That is just too easy. Our Joyners are what makes us not sleep at night trying to figure out what the hell is wrong with them! You know you want to get another one after seeing us all this weekend. LOL

      2017 TW450 Kohler ECH440 runs out of fuel when running wide open.
      By Sammy
      Runs fine just putting around the yard. Get it out on the road and about a half miles it runs out of gas. Let it idle for a few minutes and it will run for another half mile and do it again. Replaced both fuel pumps and filter. Does anyone know if I can get rid of the factory fuel pump?

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      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!

      2025 Amp Crew Ranch Edition range issues and questions.
      By Cliffampranch
      Hi All,
      I have a 14 mile round trip on level roads to reach the property where I work with my 2025 Amp Crew Ranch (purchased, April 2026).  That 14 mile round trip uses 60% of the battery as shown on the gage for a calculated range of 23.3 miles versus an advertised “up to 50 miles” range.  A mile or two working on the property gets me a flashing gage and warning beeping by the time I get home.  The dealer was good to work with and even with a new battery (yesterday) the results were about the same, although there seemed to be more power and a higher top speed.  I own a Mach-e Mustang so I am familiar with how various conditions affect range, but less than 50% of advertised range just seems like there has to be something out of whack.
      Now I’m wondering if there is a controller and/or software issue affecting the range and performance.  At various points the Amp seems to lose power for no reason and then has trouble maintaining speed.  Any ideas?
      Also, twice now, the brakes seem to have not released fully.  After noticing reduced speed, I stopped and check the rotors and wheel…..HOT!  So, now every time I feel less power, I stopped to cycle the brakes and check the temperature.  Very annoying.  Are there any adjustments to be had?
      And yes, as noted in another post, sometimes the switching from forward to reverse or high to low speed feels sluggish or balky.
      Lastly, while an electric vehicle powertrain is quiet, my Amp was horrible from a road noise and vibration standpoint.  This was easily fixed by locating panels vibrating on other panels or the frame (even the cup holders were vibrating) and installing felt adhesive pads at the contact points (seat to frame, windshield to frame, fenders to frame, etc.).  This is a $10 and 1/2 hour fix that makes a significant improvement in the driver/passenger experience.  Tire noise, yes, but that’s because of the knobby tread.
      I’m trying hard to like my Amp and would appreciate any tips, advice or solutions.
