Was driving the cub to work.  Cold out side so had it started for 15 min before I left.  Drove about 2 miles no problem then all of a sudden started to loose power, push gas to the floor to get off the side of the road.  Once turned off the road continued to put along so figured would get to a spot to be able to figure out.  Once I stop the engine died, and will just crank over and not fire.  Checked fuel filter no clog, has spark.  The oil was low but no light came on.  No sure if there is an oil kill switch or if the starting kill switch deal is malfunctioning.  Any help or ideas would be great.

 

Thanks

Been below freezing.  When checking the filter it had a strong flow.  I was going to check the inlet to the intake.  But haven’t messed with that before so not sure what to look for.

It just sounds like the fuel supply was restricted. I don't know if it's safe to use some dry gas, but I wouldn't think it would hurt, and it would get rid of any ice that possibly could be there. 

Does it have good spark?

Yes the spark is strong.  I will mess with the fuel supply lines this weekend.   One thing I noticed is that it has the safety start deal where the brake has to be pushed in to start, even to crank it over, now it does it without the brake on, so thinking that may have something to do with it.

      I have a 2007 Joyner 1100 sand viper and  before it even get's to where the thermostat opens up the oil pressure get's so low I have to shut it down. What could fix this ? I thought about adding an oil cooler with fan, thicker oil, or removing the thermostat. Any advice?

      I bought a 2017 Stampede 900 last fall that was new, old stock with less than 5 hours on it thinking that I would be getting a relatively trouble free UTV as compared to buying a used Polaris or CanAm, or Honda, etc. It's been a little quirky, but reliable. What I thought was just a minor issue with this model, the difficulty in shifting between R, N, L, H, etc., was just a characteristic of this model is now a big problem. I had to climb two very steep trails to get to the upper meadow of our hunting property, which seemed to stress the UTV more than usual since I was carrying some lumber to work on a platform for a hunting blind, and when I went to shift into park, I felt something give and it would not shift out of low, but it did move up into high gear.  I couldn't get it to shift at all at that point and the shifter felt mushy for lack of a better word. I was able to get it down to the lodge and when I investigated, I discovered that the straight, metal tube portion of the shift cable had bent to almost 90 degrees (see pics). I'm positive that it had already had some deformation that had happened previously and it had the right amount of resistance to bend to the point where it was unusable. 
      I have two questions:
      1. I suspect that there must be some other issues that makes this UTV difficult to shift, and I'm wondering if this is a common problem and if someone could enlighten me on what could cause this to be difficult to shift?
      2. Have any of you had this happen and if so, how difficult is it to replace the shifter cable?
      Any other advice is welcome, this is the first UTV that I've ever owned, so I don't know much about working on these or maintaining them. I'm relatively capable when it comes to working on my own vehicles in general, and I'm not afraid to take things apart and get my hands dirty.
      Thanks in advance for any insight, I'll be traveling most the day so I won't get a chance to look at replies until this evening.
