Hello, 

Coolant thermometer gets to max temperature after about 7-10 minutes idling, above the 237 degree marker.   However, the coolant temperature light does not turn on.  Radiator hose is cool, the hose to the block is hot, but not extremely hot.  The engine block doesn’t seem to be hot either.  The thermostat opens up and works. 
 

Does anyone know what the issue could be?  Faulty water pump maybe?

I ended up replacing the thermostat and flushing the radiator and coolant with new coolant.  It was quite dirty.  Seems to be working better, but still running a bit hot. I also bought a new water pump for it and going to end up changing that to see if that regulates temp much better.

If the coolant was dirty, then you should give it a proper flush, before you change that water pump. Make sure it's good for aluminum. 

As far as the light not coming on, it might not come on till it gets really hot. 

Keep us updated, and good luck!

      2020 400 Coleman HiSunUTV 393cc Side by Side Coolant Leak
      By John Gubancsik
      After sitting this winter in a garage, I noticed coolant under the side by side when I went to get it out.  Does anyone know what would cause the coolant to leak out while in storage?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
      Thanks,
      John

      2020 UT400 surging after sitting for winter
      By jugliner
      I have a fuel injected UT400 that will start and idle, but surges and sputters at higher speed.  It has been sitting for 2-3 months and was fine when parked in garage.  I assumed it was a fuel/air problem and pulled the throttle body and cleaned it up.  I've ended up replacing the injector, IAC valve, MAF Temp Pressure Sensor, and fuel filter.  I've also checked the spark plug, Still surging.  I reset the ECU after every component swap.
      I plan to pull the throttle body again and look evrything over for any visible leaks, etc.
       
      Any suggestions would be appreciated on next steps.   The problem developing after sitting makes me think it should be something simple, but I'm stumped.  BTW the fuel was fresh and treated with Stabil.
       
      Thanks.

      Hisun e1 2021 cuts power after a few yards
      By Jamesshoop1
      This was happening to me regularly with the original battery pack, I would drive a few yards and power cut to the motor, no error code, dash works, lights etc, just no drive. Brake lights not on so I don’t think it’s a switch thing. Sometimes it would go back to normal after a few day sitting in the barn. I ended up changing to lithium ion battery 100amp 48v and the problem completely went away for two months so I figured it was something worth the old battteries. Now it’s doing the same thing again, I’ve removed every main electrical connection, cleaned it good, and put it back together. Battery is at100 percent and good voltage. What is interesting is it doesn’t matter how much power I’m drawing, if I’m just creeping along in low or flooring it in high it stops after the same amount of time, about 7 seconds. If I let go of the acceleration right before the 7 seconds I can keep driving like that indefinitely but obviously that’s pretty annoying. Or if I switch immediately to reverse I can back up  and go back to F without cycling the key. Has anyone else run into this? It really seems like a safety switch issue to me but unsure what else to check.
