2009 Hisun HS700 UTV ---- I thought the problem was electrical but I just found this in the oil filler tube.

I thought the problem was electrical but I just found this in the oil filler tube. Does anyone recognize the part? I know I'll have to tear down the whole engine, and maybe I'll find the rest of it in there. Something beg enough to seize up the engine. That was the problem I was trying to diagnose.... 'Cause it's locked up. 

Thanks in advance.

That's a piece of ball bearing cage.............

Looks like a bearing cage to me. Maybe the crankshaft bearing. Not familiar with the engine. Either way, it has to be torn down if locked up.

OK. Thanks. That's what I've been hearing in another group.  I'm taking it to a guy who's done it before....  I'm hoping he can just replace the bearing and not the whole crankshaft. But I get it, impossible to tell until it's opened up.

 

Thanks.
