Just bought my son and I a used 2018 Stampede....

Drove it for 2 days everything seemed great.  But then today, we had it sitting outside got back in to take off and it would only do like 5 mph with the gas to the floor ... WTH?  Have it in high gear... I'm far from a mechanic but have no clue.  Literally 30 minutes before hand we were doing 40mph.    

I did notice the engine light on but only had 2 bars ... he usually drives so I dont know if that is always on or not.  I looked at the owners manual and it stated that the bars and backlight flash when overheated ...

I have no clue.  Need help... son is worried he did something to it...

Please advise... thank u

Yes.  Seemed to be...  

The temp light was on but not blinking.  It would be great if there was a description or video of the console and what was "normal" on running conditions.  

It's about 40 degrees here.  Vehicle was running at 40 -50 mph 20 mins earlier.  Stopped for about 20-30 mins an engine temp light was on that I didnt see before and it would only go like 5 mph... on the book I have it states that if engine was over heated it would blink on console...  not sure.

      I have a MSU 500. I will start and run but requires basically full throttle to move. Does this machine have a drive belt? If so how difficult to change?

      2018 Hisun Strike 1000 Losing spark after startup
      By Nickie Watts
      I have a Hisun Strike 1000 I have been trying to get going, it has only 39 hours on it, so I can only assume it has been sitting for a long time.
       
      The issue is it is losing spark to both coils after 20-30 seconds of running, doesn't matter if it's WOT or Idle, it will shut down.  What sends signal to the coils to fire? It has a crank sensor, I was thinking a CDI box, but I have not found one of those on the machine.
      The rear end was busted on it when I got it, So I ordered a new one and installed it only to run into this problem. I can only imagine the problem has happened over it sitting so long and not being driven.
       
      I originally thought it was a fuel problem, so I checked the injectors, throttle body, o2 sensors. Discovered the heating element in one of the o2 sensors was bad, so ordered both and also replaced both injectors just to be sure, then discovered it is only losing spark.
