Ok I am hoping things aren't totally pooches

Side by side stalled out on my son and wouldnt start. Seemed to have very low vacuum draw on the pump and even when primed manually it wouldn't push much gas. 

Have been wanting to check the valves any ways to see if they were off spec ( had been having issues with running rough)

I checked the valves....intake seemed a little tight and the exhaust very tight ( exhaust were brutal to get to ) 

Decided to check compression while I had the plug out....picked up a new compression tester as I couldn't find mine and was getting 0 compression.

Seemed strange so I pulled the tester out and cranked it with no plug to see if I was getting air movement.  Seemed to be pushing air out of the plug hole fine....then heard a clunk sound and now the starter won't turn it over....it trys but it's like things are jammed.

Any thoughts on how bad I have screwed up?

I didn't think anything I did should have caused any damage.

Update......looks like I busted something.....20200725_133938.thumb.jpg.31fd03b20b63d6cb59fe8ba49e41f4f4.jpg

 

What could have caused this....

Engine still can't crank over by hand.....It comes to a hard stop.....moves  aprox 180 deg the hits a hard something....broken valve?

well, you'll  definitley need a new rocker arm on that right side..

Is the spark plug out when you're turning it by hand and it stops? If not, take it out and spin it by hand, if it's easier, then it could be a problem with that valve not opening causing excess compression....

if the spark plug is out, and it's still hitting... I would look for a brok valve, or valve seat popped out holding the valve down into the cylinder...

May be easier if you remove the head and inspect and look at everything.

Well I found the culprit....broken exhaust valve.

piston looks ok....appears not to have done any damage, probably because I was just cranking and not running.  

Lucky for me the previous owner had a number of spare parts and gave me the old head....going to rob the rocker arm from that.

Going to rob a valve as well....looks like it's in good condition....no putting on the seat. Going to get some lapping compound and see how it goes.

I know you will, but i can't stand not to stress it.. clean that head as though your life depended on it after lapping... That liquid sandpaper won't be good for it at 3,000 RPM...

      Hello,
      Before I invest $10k+ into a brand new UTV for the farm, I want to get my feet wet with a fixer upper and learn the mechanical side of things. I acquired a 2022 Hisun Axis 500 (Lowes-specific model) from an auction for $500. It has only 200 hours and 120 miles on the engine. It looks like the previous owner used it for ranch work and didn't drive it on trails, deep water/mud, or anything too crazy.
      While it runs and moves, it has some problems. It struggles to accelerate up any incline in high and low range and sometimes stalls when I let off of the throttle or change gears. When I apply throttle in neutral, it sounds like it is struggling for fuel/air and pops. When I decelerate, there is a grinding sound coming from the clutch, which I've read to be related to the one way bearing and is semi-common. The last thing I've observed is sometimes the speedometer display sometimes will show a much higher value for a few seconds after barely touching the throttle. Based on the documentation, if a problem is detected from the sensors, the instrument panel display should have an error code rendered on the screen in place of the time, but this isn't happening. Here is a video showing some of these issues (engine is exposed with console removed):

      Here is another video of the clutches in action:
       
      I've done some research, but information on this specific unit and sister units is limited. There does seem to be transmission and clutch issues reported. I still need to check into the head gaskets. I don't have the equipment to test compression right now, but I do plan on ordering what is needed soon. I do have an order in place for some cables to read the diagnostics from the computer. There is a shop two hours away from me that works on Hisun products, but I am hoping the problem can be identified and is something within my ability to handle. Below is what I've already investigated.  I am leaning towards the primary clutch needing replacement right now.
      After getting it home and unloaded, I did the following maintenance/checks to it prior to operating it further:
      Changed the engine/clutch oil (and filter) and gear oils using manufacture recommended viscosity Changed the air filter and checked for cracks in the air intake flow. Verified good suction. Cleaned the throttle body Changed the spark plug and verified the gap was within spec (0.6-0.7mm) Changed the coil and coil wire Changed the fuel lines, fuel injector, and verified the fuel pump was outputting the correct initial prime pressure for ignition and continuous pressure after ignition. Also completely emptied the fuel tank and made sure octane 91+ fuel is being used per manufacturer specs. Ran seafoam through system too. Cleaned the spark arrester and verified no cracks or gaps in the exhaust flow Changed out the O2 sensor Checked all wired connections to ensure they were secured and no breaks were visible Checked the belt for tightness and for any signs of wear and tear Verified 4WD and the differential lock function as expected - still hesitates and struggles uphill Verified the fan gears in the shifter are not corroded and working as expected ECU was reset after replacing sensors and fuel-related parts  
       
      Thanks!

      Been waiting over a month and a half for a transmission from bobcat,  they claim the polaris transmission is different.   Can anyone verify that???

      Cranks after installing a jumper wire to ignition switch to get power but will not start
      Have spark and fuel pump runs

      I have a Coleman 550.  Was having problems to start with where it would start and then shut off after a couple tries. It would take off and be good. It then got to a point where it would not start at all. I replaced the fuel injection twice the second time I replaced it I noticed a mouse or something had chewed one of the wires that connect the electrical to the fuel injector. . So two-part question first does anybody have a part number for that wire harness?  Second, any other ideas after I fix the wire harness permanently on what could keep it from starting I have gas flow up to the fuel injector.

      My Massimo 500 will not start. I’ve checked all the obvious things. It turns over just fine. fuel, spark, fuse box are all good. I can’t figure it out. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
