  1. Sounds like the P.O. was a textbook example of what we used to call "Fast & Furious Magazine Mechanics"(FnFMM)--more money than engineering, or even common, sense. Bigger wheels an d tires do nothing but: Reduce power to the ground due to their larger diameter; Reduce braking power due to 1); Reduce acceleration due to 1) and increased weight = increased rotational inertia; Increase wear of drive train components (CV-joints, U-joints, transmission and final drive gears and bearing, etc) due to 3);. Worsen "ride" quality due to increased unsprung weight; Overload suspension components (spring struts, A-arms, ball joints, tie-rod ends, steering gear, etc.) due to increased mass/altered geometry; Mess up the speedometer and odometer¹ by making them "read" slow; Huh, seven sins--I really did not set out to do that. But they "look cool" and will make your fellow FnFMMs envious--all while making your wallet lighter, We have already seen (literally) what a "lift kit" can accomplish so I won;t get into that... Contrary to what the average FnFMM thinks, the emgineers that design these things do generally know what the are doing,,, ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ¹ - the odometer thing mat be "good" if you are planning on screwing over a buyer down the road (no pun intended). Let's suppose you put 27" tires on a vehicle designed for 25" tires--that's an 8% increase in circumference. So, the 5,000 miles you put on the vehicle will be recorded as only 4630 miles.

  2. Good day all. To advise the community that we are stocking a lot of parts for the XY Powersports UTV also known under different name as Joyner, Chironex, Groundpounder, Komodo ect... We are located in Canada but we do ship to USA. Also have a lot of 1100cc Chery engine parts as well as CFMOTO. [email protected]

  3. I agree, I tore some filters apart in a Bob is the oil Guy project back in 2000; the Frams had cardboard end plates, crappy valves and were generally built like crap: cardboard end plate lousy bypass (this is a "Tough Guard" BTW : overall crap construction: in contrast this is a Purolator Pure one: Advance Auto house brand (made by Purolator)

  5. Watch for the thread configuration--some have threads that are 'outies" instead of "innies" like the OEM filter. On those with the projecting thread the thread can bottom out on the filter flange central tube collar or lock nut before the seal is seated tightly. Many Fram filters are made that way leading to the classic "I bought an oil filter at Auto-Pats 'R Us from their cross reference list and it leaks" threads. I have had this happen on bikes. One particularly offensive, in this regard, Fram filter (the projecting thread is almost flush with the gasket): If you tried to mount that filter on a flange like this ↓↓↓ there would be a problem--the thread will bottom out on the lock nut before it's sealed--been therre and done it.

  6. What a wonderful service manual--I need to send it to Hisun and Coleman so they can see what one is supposed to look like! In reviewing the wiring diagrams I see that he injectors, Lambda (O₂) sensor and ignition coils share a common power feed from terminal C6 on the main harness (this is good news as it links directly to the DTCs): On the wiring harness it looks like this--with SP1 (SP=splice???) being a common connection point: They also provide this splendid illustration of where all this stuff is located (though the O₂ sensor does not seem to be shown) Before hauling it 100 miles check that main harness connector, and the connectors at he injectors and coils to make certain they're not corroded or otherwise fouled. Check all ground connections as well--check the O₂ senor connector as well as it is quite possibly located is a place that can collect all sorts of crap. Also, the usual suspects, battery connections, voltage While cranking [at the terminals, not he battery posts], , etc. It may be coincidence that all three reported "low voltage" at the same time but I'd look for a common wiring problem. -cliff-
