Has anyone here replaced the 3 position ignition switch with an aftermarket 3 position switch? If so, which switch did you use, and how did you wire it up?
Thanks 👍
I don't mean to seem ignorant, but did you replace the key switch as well as add the push button start?
Also, is the brake interlock still functional?
Thanks 👍
I'll do that. I tried reading the wiring diagram in the service manual, but it's a bit confusing. Did you get a switch with a harness attached, or with terminals? Is this a 2, 3, or 4 wire switch?
Thanks 👍
So replacing the switch with a new one would not be a good idea, huh? Are there any universal switches that would work the same, without the push button start?
My starter has been difficult to engage since I've had it. I thought it was the battery, so I replaced it. The OEM battery did have a weak cell, so the new battery was needed. However, that didn't change things much. I still have to hit the key at least 2X to get it to start.
So I may have a starter switch problem? This UTV was purchased in an auction from the manufacturer in Texas. I don't use it much (I need a trailer), and it only has 15 miles on it. But it was a demo model, so maybe the switch is a bit worn.
The fuel pump will have to be removed, assuming that it's a fuel injected engine. The fuel gauge is built into the fuel pump assembly. Sounds like maybe the float is stuck somehow.
Be extra careful working around fuel!
Just curious, and off topic, but how well does your engine turn over? Mine will usually only spin once. I hit the key again, and it will spin quicker and start. I have a larger than stock battery (340cca's), but it really didn't change it much.
Thanks 👍
I don't mean to seem ignorant, but would a improperly functioning voltage regulator cause the issue? Or maybe the stator is malfunctioning, which would cause the voltage regulator to heat up.
When you turn the key to the first stop, do you hear the fuel pump running? It should run for a few seconds to prime the system.
The spark sounds weak as you described it. Have you checked the battery, or maybe something in the charging system? Did you see what the output of the charging system was prior to the UTV stalling?
I've checked with several gas stations near me, and so far none offer E0. I would love to find some E0 for my truck, too. The internet shows several stations in my area that have E0, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I guess I should clarify that statement. It's available, but at a very high cost.
I have read that the octane boosters don't work as advertised. Have you had any experience with them?
Anyone know why the manufacturer calls for 91 octane for the T-boss 410? That fuel is becoming unobtainium around here unless a loan is taken out.
TIA!
