Building My Own


JaredC

Recommended Posts

Hello all,

Im looking into building my own UTV. Not from a kit. But actually building my own frame, buying and mounting an engine etc etc etc......A friend of mine and I have been talking about doing it for years, as he is the engine/mechanic guy and I can do all of the welding/fabricating.

Anyways, I have been scouring the web and different off road or UTV forums and have found 0 information regarding doing it. Anyone have any ideas of where I can go to start researching for our build? We need to at least start with a basic print, even if we modify it somewhat we still need a starting point. Are there any forums that deal with this sort of thing specifically? We will probably start with a small one seat sand rail type of vehicle and then build a bigger 4 seater.

Any help at all is appreciated.

Jared

That is interesting... but surely your are mechanically inclined right? This will not be a simple and easy project.

Yes. Hard to weld or fabricate without being. But building your own sand rail isn't anything new. Google it. There is tons of info online about it. Just can't find any for building a more UTV style version

      Going down a 20 deg hill engine is holding UTV back. Then something releases like going into Neutral and makes a loud clacking noise. Have to use brake to slow UTV down. Then once level it shifts back into gear. Have done shift extension does not pop out of gear.

      starts up you have keep rpms up for 5 minutes till it warms up then runs fine. But if it stalls wont start unless you unplug fuel pump and hold it to the floor till it starts then plug pump back in and run it till it warms up then it is fine all day.

      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.

      At the end of last year my Coleman UT 500 will not go into reverse. I can hold it over toward the reverse to move it nut it won't lock into reverse. Anyone have this problem? Winter is just about over and going to have to get this resolved. Thank You!
