I hope you're closer than 200 miles away from the dealer. That could be a problem for parts or service, after the warranty has expired. Sounds like the exact same problem though, maybe the op can give an update.

There's some good ideas here in this thread. But I think that everyone has missed the part about how it's dying WHILE it's being driven. That means that it's not putting out enough power to run itself. A short that big, would easily drain the battery very quickly. It would be dead as a doornail after a couple hours, creating a no start situation. My idea is that you should check for power at the source. See if it's generating enough power to keep it running. Check the voltage at the battery, while it's running.

This is a magneto engine isn't it? If so, then based on your description, that's where I'd start.

Harbor freight sells a cheap remote for their winch also. I see no reason why you couldn't make it work. It's certainly worth a look.

Check the crankcase ventilation also. It's unlikely that there should be a problem with it on a machine that new. But the symptoms certainly match, and it only takes a couple minutes to check.

Nice job on the tarp cover! Fab in a fiberglass bow or maybe two, in the roof, to take out that concave that's really shown in the last picture. The one that shows it from the rear. Mostly for cosmetic reasons, and I'd just keep it like that. It would give it a cool, professional, I meant to get this look, kind a vibe. Or how about fastening a grass/thatch roof to the top, over the tarp. You can get a woven sheet of that stuff at some hobby, or home building supply stores. Just layer it on, for a really cool, island/ tropical, don't give a d@&n look. I see some real artistic possibilities!

Welcome to the forum U.P. Dan, sorry, but I can't easily answer your question. I suggest that you start a new thread, you'll get more exposure, and that should make it easier to get a faster response from someone who can answer your question. Good luck!

Mine doesn't have that feature, since it's an older machine. But at work, all the forklifts, regardless of brand, have to be buckled, or the obnoxious alarm won't ever stop. So I just leave it buckled behind the seat. Problem solved. Maybe you could do the same, with yours?

White smoke coming from the exhaust is almost certainly water. Which leads me to think you might have a head gasket failure. Have you needed to add coolant?

The real problem, as I see it, is that the codes given are consistent with an engine that's running poorly. So imho, if it's not running with a substantial miss, then something else is going on. Like a possible failure of the CPU. Manufacturers are typically reluctant to give away parts without a reliable, trusted diagnosis of failure, such as that provided by an authorized service center. And a new CPU could be quite expensive, with no guarantee that'll cure the problem. Throwing parts at it is never a good plan anyway. Fixing it yourself, could be a long, expensive, frustrating endeavor. Complete with long down times, and fairly involved diagnostic procedures. If it were me, I'd try to make it Lowe's problem. By any means necessary, including a return.

This post raises several questions. Since I'm not familiar with your model, let's start with this. How did you determine that it was throwing codes? Being new, if it is actually throwing these codes, and there's no mistake. Then you'll want to take it in for warranty work. Special equipment, and a solid diagnostic plan is what's needed in this case. With so many serious codes so soon, it might be a faulty control module. That can be an elusive diagnosis using a multimeter and the internet as a guide. Not to mention the cost of a replacement.

I looked at installing a fixed system. I didn't like the cost, vs. performance. Not to mention the hassle of installation. Instead I went with a W-King X10 powered bluetooth speaker. Along with a soft mount, that makes it easily removable. It's about a hundred bucks for the speaker and the mount. Speaker performance is similar to the over $300.00 JBL speaker. Total install time was about six minutes.

My vote is for a bad pump. Maybe it sucked up some debris, or something, when you purged the line?

TapBoss makes a good point, it really does seem to be related to the oil change. Check the things he's suggested, if that doesn't help, then you'll need to find out what trouble code is causing the check engine light.

You'll likely want to bypass the heat sensor, and make the fan run full time. I'm pretty sure there's a thread or two around here somewhere that'll walk you through the simple process. Maybe someone who understands this computer stuff can provide a link?

I did the same search, and saw the same conflicting information. I suppose it might be because of subtle differences in the exact types of clutch, and as I said, I don't know enough to give a definite answer. That's why I answered as I did. My theory being that a small amount of grease might help, but probably wouldn't hurt anything. And from my experience, gobs of grease, are only used in certain circumstances, and can sometimes do more harm than good. So since I don't have any real experience in clutch grease, I really don't know. I only responded out of ignorance, in regard to the vehicle having two clutches. Well that, and to give this worthy question more forum face time, by bringing it to the top. I'd also like to suggest that you keep us informed about this project, through one of the threads you've started about this machine. We love projects, and pictures. Good documentation might just cause someone else to start their own project. Good luck!

Thanks for the clarification. I guess I never thought about it having 2 clutches. My experience with clutches is minimal, at best, and mostly limited to manual clutches on dirt bikes, and the occasional car. But if it were me, I'd probably give it a very small amount of grease, extremely lightly applied.

Doesn't a wet clutch gets its lubrication from the oil it sits in.

Social media, in the Saddlebroke area, should provide at least one group of local UTV enthusiasts. You could join their club. I'd bet that they know the best answers to all your questions. Besides, you'll need someone else along. It's never the best idea to go into the wilderness alone.

I'd take another look at the IAT sensor, for a bad connection. It really sounds like it was knocked loose or damaged somehow.

Are you sure that the switch is bad? That extra plug is probably for a wireless remote. Why not take it up with Bass pro, and the manufacturers technical people. They should know the exact purpose for each wire, and how to test for proper function.

Don't know the actual name, but if you Google Japanese mini truck, there's plenty of information that pops up.

You want a full cab, and street legal? How about a Japanese mini truck. You get the full cab, and options include 4wd, heat/ac also. Very reliable, and 40 mpg. Already set up for the street!

T-boss 410 is correct, and a bad head gasket is probably the cause. White smoke is definitely coolant. I'd try to verify, by using a leak down test first. It's a common, yet simple test. If you're unfamiliar, Tube can explain it. The tool should be available from o'Reilly auto parts, loan a tool program, but call to verify availability. You buy the tool for extremely cheap, then return it when you're done, for a full refund. The test is cheap, and easy. Unfortunately the fix is neither. But it's certainly a doable project.

Sometimes a picture of the item can make it easier to find. Find that part for sale and there's usually a picture. Sometimes there's more. This has worked for me, more times than not.
