A sad day for me...

Recommended Posts

With a genuine sadness on Friday, last, I sold my beloved "Thing"  (Coleman Outfitter LSV 400/Hisun HS 400). As some of my fellow forum members are aware I recently suffered a massive stroke that negatively affected (a polite way of saying "completely f......  up") my left side. They said I'd never walk again--but I live to prove "experts" wrong, or 1/2 wrong anyway; My upper left side is FUBAR (I could not get into the beast without assistance and once in could not set (or release) the parking brake, or run the light switch or turn signals. The only way out was to fall out onto the lawn.

Time to let it go... Gotta get woking on "modding" my new power wheelchair.--it's only 2WD, but has a motor for each wheel and with decent tires who knows???

I can still read, do research and  and learn; I'll step-in from time to time when I think I can help-please feel free to tell me to "buzz-off" if I get i get annoying...

off into the night...

@cliffyk sad to read you sold your machine and the challenges you are facing 😞. Hopefully you will continue to prove experts wrong! Your input and participation here at utvboard has been invaluable, so hopefully you will find it in you to still stick around, when time permits.  Would love to see you mod your wheel chair, so share if you will, I'm sure it'll be awesome!

So sorry to hear this but I can understand the way you feel. My daughter and wife made me sell my trailer because they are afraid I might fall and really hurt myself. I'm 89 years old And have hard time getting up off the ground. I can still get on the machine but can't go on any trails. I got Radial street tires on last week so I'm Going to stay close to home. Nov. 1st Oklahoma  well allow street legal machines to register and get a license to ride on roads with the speed limit35 MPH. I don't know how I will like that, we will see. Again I'm sorry about your situation, But be glad you wake up every morning, I am.

Sorry about your situation but I dont think a lift kit on the power chair would be a good idea. You'll hit the armrests on the table and won't be able to eat. 

Guess I'll need a kit for the table too...

      Recently I had an overheating issue on my 2022 Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun UT550) and to check to make sure it was fixed I took it out for a ride around the block. After a couple cycles on the LED coolant meter, I took it for a couple mile ride and on my way back I heard a loud metallic snap then a grinding noise. It was still able to move under its own power but very slowly. I was about 2 blocks from the truck so 'I limped it home and up onto the trailer. I know I need to tear it apart and look for what broke, but anyone have a guess as to where to start? I'm seriously getting tired of this damn machine! 750 miles on it and already replaced the belt, wet clutch, primary clutch, clutch roller weights among a few other things. Seriously, this friggin machine has spent more time on the lift than on the road. I thought I bought this new because it was from the owner of a tractor supply, but he registered it under the stores name making me the 2nd owner voiding any and all warranties.
      Any Ideas what to look for would be appreciated.
      Thanks

      i have a 2011 hisun ys 400  idles high,once in awhile, runs horrible under load. iv'e put several differant carbs on it , cleaned the gas tank , took off the vaccum fuel pump and put  an 
      electric fuel pump.  no change HELP 
      this is a carburated engine, but was wondering is there any electrical components that meter the fuel flow,  like  mass air flow senser or something like that could be causing the fuel delivery
      problem.
      ps i have owned this rig since it was new , and haven't had a full  year of flawless riding.
       
      oh and bought it from menards and told me i was stuck with it.

      Hi
      i have a 2019 Coleman 550 Outfitter.  The tail gate has a pin on each side, that snaps into latch blocks that are mounted on the inside of the tail gate opening.  There are two M6x16 pan head screws(bolts?) that hold the latch blocks in place.  The screws enter from inside the bed body, and I can’t figure out how to access them.  This is right by the tail light assemblies.  I tried taking a pan head screw out of the fender lip, but found out there is not a nut firmly inplace, to hold the pan head screw in.  Bottom line I’m making it worse.  
      coleman was no help.  If I could figure out how they attached the tail light, then maybe I could put the latch screws in through the tail light hole.  Any ideas?
       
      thanks

      I added lights to the Coleman Outfitter 550 last fall.   I bought lights on line from Nilight, a 300 W  12" light bar mounted forward and 2 square 4" floods for the rear.  Those are mounted on the roof corners facing rear and downward just beyond the tailgate.  Nilights seem to be of high quality, as I've had them on my garden tractor for 5 years and still flood the way ahead with great light. 
      Both the front and rear lights provide amazing illumination making the OEM headlamps look like parking lights.  Made a connector for the front bar that plugs into existing headlamp switch so it is just part of that circuit controlled by the headlamp switch.   Rear work lamps were wired in using a rocker switch installed in the dash.  Backed up to the garden with the work lights and was able to harvest some tomatoes well past sunset. 
      What have you used if anything for auxiliary lighting on your UTV?
