Long intro--bear with me... I have come to realize that if I get 3500-4000 miles out of the OEM Wanda tires on my 2020 Hisun HS400 I will be doing quite well--I suspect this is due in large part to my being able to get it registered as fully "street legal" (in Florida) and use of that status to make trips to the gas station/beer store (2 miles West) ) and the beach (2 miles East) on a paved road (Florida State Road 206). Going to the beer store I have to straddle the right-of-way with two wheels on the pavement--going to the beach I am right on the road at 40-45 MPH. In any event, at 620 miles I have already shaved 3/32" or so off the tread. So, while cruising Craigslist I found a fellow sellin g brand new set of tire and wheels, take-offs from his son's new 2021 Honda Rubicon¹. A set of Maxxis OEM 25x10-12 and 25x8-12 tires just as I will need, on 4x110 bolt pattern wheels--for just $125. The only quirk was that the offset on he rear wheels is about an inch shy of what my HS400 wants--no problem says I , that's why God invented wheel spacers. So, next mission was to cruise Amazon and see what Prime could bring me--so I found a pair of 1" spacers for just $34 w/tax & shipping from some outfit calling themselves Freedom County ATV. The only issue was their crappy ad copy made no mention of stud size, just bolt circle--but as a Prime member I'll just send ;em back if they are not M10 x 1.25--it will be on the vendor's dime. Got them today, they are M10 x 1.25 and are very well made--nicely machined and the fit and finish are great, the studs are marked ass being metric class 12.9, best their is. ------------------------------------------- ¹ - The kid of course,--being a kid--had to run out immediately, empty his bank account and screw up the new toy's suspension with a "lift-kit" and bigger wheels and tires. Anyway, here's my Amazon review: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Got these today (2nd day delivery) and was very pleased with their fit, finish, and value--the reason for my 1 star rating is to see if I can get someone's attention re: their crappy ad copy--specifically absolutely NO mention of the stud size-- which is (drum roll please) M10 x 1.25. This is a VERY critical specification and the vendor's not listing same, and other critical dimensions, is inexcusable. I fiddled around the web for a couple of days attempting to determine the stud size (even left a message on Freedom County's website via their "Contact Us" online form--with no response > 48 hours later. I.e. do not expect much support from these people. I ordered them anyway thinking if they do not fit WTF, it's Prime I'll just send 'em back--which would be very unfortunate as it would waste everybody's time & money (time only for me). This in unfortunate as the product is top notch and a great value. The M10 x 1.25 studs are marked as being metric class 12.9 strength, the highest their is--and greater than SAE Grade 8. I have included other dimensions on the attached photos. They are not "hub-centric" on my Hisun HS400, however the base of the mounting nut bores are conical, matching the provided nuts; so they aligned nicely. Again, I do recommend these spacers but it remains lamentable that he vendor did not provide complete specs and has no other method of contact other that their online contact "form" (annoying and silly things that seem rarely responded to). BTW--turns out that the stud size is mentioned (just "mentioned" by another customer, not specified) in the 16th or 17th customer question. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I do recommend them despite there likely being NO customer support--as these are just a $34 "either they work or they don't" product that doesn't really matter... A final note. In playing about with all of this I found that the HS400 has a 44." front track, and 41" track at the rear? This may explain the odd squirmy tracking I have experienced in heavily rutted soft sand at he beach. I think I will install the spacers with the stock rear wheels to get a 43" track at he rear and see if it improves the tracking on the sand. If it does I will likely need to get a set of 2" spacers when I install the Rubicon wheels and tires--but the ding-dong outfit (Freedom County ATV) sells 2" spacers too...

The fuel pumps on these vehicles are generally prettuy stupid devices, their only job is to keep fuel line pressure around 43.5 psi (3 bar¹). When powered up they just run 'til the line pressure is as desired then shut down until the pressure falls as the engine consumes fuel. They are not intelligently monitored or commanded. by the ECU--they just do their thing if there is sufficient pressure in the line when powered up they will not run, I think this is what you are observing. To test it you'll need to monitor the fuel pressure and make sure the pump runs when the pressure is less than 30 psi or so. Or divert the fuel line to a container and make sure the pump runs continuously with the key on--be careful though, at 40 psi gasoline can spray everywhere. How many cc is your t-boss? As a 2020 it is a LInhai under the Massimo badges--I do not have much info on the Linhai machines yet. However the fuel pump relay is likely a little black box in the fuse block. ------------------------------------------------------ ¹ - 3 bar (43.5 psi) is the pressure standard for fuel injector capacity ratings--most vehicle makers supply them with that pressure.

Con for both: Way the heck out of my "retired and living longer than I thought toy budget".

I think I've got it--drove 10 miles or so today, using reverse 4 or 5 times--only once did it whiz, clank, clunk. I have found that shifting while the vehicle is just slightly in motion, or has been stopped for a bit (15-30 seconds), makes it better--also, shift to reverse and wait 5-10 seconds before hitting the throttle...

Hello, I have a 2002 Mule 3010 with 1759 hours on it. I got it with about 1700 hours from a neighbor and it had been serviced regularly. It almost abruptly lost all power. Still driveable however, barely moves and ain't going up hills. Immediately I did the following: -air filter change, oil change, spark plug change, fuel filter change, checked fuel, added fuel treatment. when I depress the accelerator pedal it does not throttle up to its max. I checked the throttle rigging and it appeared good. I am able to rev it up at the carbureator. I inspected the linkage and it appeared that the governor spring was worn because it was not holding the throttle. Ordered a spring and changed it but no worky still. It appears to run up and then back off. Any ideas? Am I making sense. I have gone through countless forums and can not find a similar problem.
