2017 Hisun 500 vector utv starting issues

Wife said UTV stopped running and cannot restart. I checked the battery, it was good. I checked the fuse box, no blown fuses. Whe I tried to start, the starter had a thump noise one time, and the starter relay wires were hot. I replaced the relay, nothing. I then replaced the starter and still the same symptoms. It won't start and relay wires hot.  Any ideas what to check next- perhaps ground strap of which I have no idea where it would be, or perhaps a new fuse box with new relays?

Based on those symptoms I would remove and bench test the starter next. It sounds like there may be an internal short.

Remove it and clamp it to the workbench. Connect a battery with jumper cables to the ground, and tap the terminal briefly with the positive cable and see if it spins like it should. My guess would be it doesn't.

From the text you wrote, it seems that it stopped running while your wife was operating it. At that point, she tried to re-start it without success. Does it turn over? If it does, look to the ignition, if not; does the starter get voltage while trying it? If it does and the engine won't turn over the engine might be siezed. If it doesn't look to the relay. Is there voltage going to the relay but not going through during start up, then it's a relay. Your volt meter is always your best friend.

If it were my machine, (MSU 800) I'd take the screw cap off the end of the magneto, using the correct size Allen wrench make sure the engine isn't stuck, "froze". Can't say for sure on that 500 if that's how to check it. I'm sure there are some here that can tell you. Aefron88 for one.

      We just bought a used 2017 American Landmaster TW450. No hour meter that I can find, so not sure exactly how much it has been used. 
      The first 2 days we had it, the starter was a little sketchy, but it started after 2-3 tries. Sometimes when turning the key, we would hear a loud metal "clink" sound. Like the starter made contact, but didn't have enough power to turn. 
      THIS MORNING... Turning the key, we hear a single click sound. That's it. Even with a new battery, the starter is still doing the same thing. Both batteries (old and new) were reading 12.8 volts on volt meter. So I'm wondering what else could be going on? Any ideas on what to look for would be greatly appreciated...
      Thank you!

      Going down a 20 deg hill engine is holding UTV back. Then something releases like going into Neutral and makes a loud clacking noise. Have to use brake to slow UTV down. Then once level it shifts back into gear. Have done shift extension does not pop out of gear.

      starts up you have keep rpms up for 5 minutes till it warms up then runs fine. But if it stalls wont start unless you unplug fuel pump and hold it to the floor till it starts then plug pump back in and run it till it warms up then it is fine all day.
