Coleman 400 fouling plug
that guy from Canada replied to Bobby Courtney's topic in Coleman UTV SxS Forum
^^^^ check that first ^^^^ I would almost consider a new coil and the often overlooked spark plug cap. Also as a 4 stroke it wont hurt it to try one hotter heat range plug. Ex: dpr7ea use dpr6ea lower number is hotter -
Not all anti-gel created equal
that guy from Canada replied to mcraigchr's topic in UTV General Discussion
Irony is this... In Canada all our diesel fuel has anti gel in it, right at the pump. As winter approaches that is adjusted b 4 its even in the tanker. So if you have an old jerry can from summer, there is a chance it may gel dead of winter -35 but still usually not. However I will ask some of my friends about what they use, if they do. Cheers -
2014 Bennche Bighorn 700 Won't stay running
that guy from Canada replied to Hutch's topic in Bennche UTV SxS Forum
Did you ever adjust the idle setting on the throttle body? As it only runs with throttle applied some people adjust this as a try to fix but it will only throw the tps out of whack with ecu. Also if tps isnt fixed mount try adjusting its position, but only a little bit at a time. Lastly bad temp sensor can cause similar issue as well. If atv idles too low for another reason the computer can throw tps code, it thinks tps is out for current idle rpm. I have seen this caused by plugged muffler or blown out baffles. Also bad or old fuel. Why i prefer carburetors... lol -
2020 Coleman 400 Water Pump EXTRA O-ring??
that guy from Canada replied to riggy400's topic in Coleman UTV SxS Forum
That is a standard mechanical rotary seal, no o ring belongs there. The little lip under your arrow seals on that white teflon on impeller, thats it. Possibly the seal leaks and it was someones fix, or someone added it because they just did. If that lip isnt damaged Assemble without it and check weep hole under pump for leakage when or after running it. Cheers -
Polaris utv accessories
that guy from Canada replied to Benny Glasow's topic in UTV General Discussion
Aftermarket is usally pretty good. Ive installed lots. For roof ive bought 4x8 sheet of 3/16 umhu plastic and pipe clamps to rollbar, not pretty but only about 150 bucks. May need 2 sheets overlapped if longer than 4 feet, as in 4 seater, utv is wider than 4 feet. Winch... warn, kfi, or all balls expedition series. Easier to winch around heavy things instead of pulling n digging ruts -
2014 Msu 500 coolant circulation
that guy from Canada replied to Working hard to hardly work's topic in Massimo UTV SxS Forum
Most common cause of no circulation is an air lock. You should not have to bleed the actual pump. Should be bleeder near upper rad hose on engine. Be sure to run it with rad cap OFF or you will never get rid of an air lock. Also wouldnt hurt to test thermostat, keurig is hot enough to open it, pour a cup of hot water, no pod, drop in stat and watch it open. Sometimes takes 2 tries if cup and stat are cool. -
2006 Arctic Cat Prowler 650 H1 won't idle
that guy from Canada replied to Kidsskipp's topic in Arctic Cat UTV SxS Forum
Unless chain is stretched badly they sould essentially be bang on, even with stretch and marks not perfect, one tooth off is quite obvious. Also be aware some models have a mark on flywheel at F for fire, ignition timing, another at T for TDC make sure you have the right mark or your beating a dead horse. Hope this helps -

After that long spiel, you do have valve clearance correct and not too tight -
2006 Arctic Cat Prowler 650 H1 won't idle
that guy from Canada replied to Kidsskipp's topic in Arctic Cat UTV SxS Forum
Well not really, choke problems will still cause aall the same issues so its worth checking. If its not a fix id double check timing, remeber to finger in the chain where the tensioner goes after setting to remove chain slack and double check marks. I also install head cover temporarily with 4 center bolts snug not torqued and rockers slacked off to hold cam same with tensioner finger tight on bolts. Then rotate engine one cycle, 720 degrees oor 2 turns, then remove everything and recheck timing. If you have a friend you can hold cam in place with one hand finger tension chain with other and have them rotate engine... slowly! Then rechecking saves ssome time but sometimes the cam will move. -
2006 Arctic Cat Prowler 650 H1 won't idle
that guy from Canada replied to Kidsskipp's topic in Arctic Cat UTV SxS Forum
Arctic cat v-twins are notorious for the choke sticking, replace cable, plungers and springs. If the little rubber boot on lever is ripped change it too or ypull get water in the cable. Id reinstall the factory carbs. Also idle mixture screw is super finnicky set it with engine well warmed and deal with crappy long warm up time. -

Snow Plow on 2015 Kawasaki Teryx 800LE
that guy from Canada replied to JFC's topic in Kawasaki UTV SxS Forum
Poly vs steel , poly is more slippery for plowing, snow rolls off better, plus lighter installing and moving around. steel is way more durable and can be used to push around loose gravel leveling a driveway... loose gravel! Not a grader! lol -
Snow Plow on 2015 Kawasaki Teryx 800LE
that guy from Canada replied to JFC's topic in Kawasaki UTV SxS Forum
It shoulnt need modifications, you may need to set the feet a little lower to prevent the plow from digging in, but thats all -
I dont own a UTV but i work on a lot of em Glad to help with any technical knowledge from the great white north
-
I havent personally done mods to these models but having worked on them the mule is lacking in the Horsepower department. Adding larger tires, especially anything more than 1" over stock will definitely require a clutch kit. Also remember that a lift only raises the center n bumper of the utv, tires create axle/diff clearance. If you can fit tires without lift, this is better for the axles n suspension and center of gravity. Best bet is go 1" over stock no lift no clutch kit n go.

Challenger 750 - junk hisun motors!
that guy from Canada replied to hisun junk's topic in Cub Cadet UTV SxS Forum
What your saying is true in some cases like very small 4 stroke, however the hisun has a built in windage tray for the crank, no spash. Also due to the icreased volume of the case, it has a transmission built in, excess crank pressure isnt really an issue. Either way avoiding catastrophic engine failure due to lack of oil is the key here. Also i was incorrect it starves when going steep downhill not up. -
Challenger 750 - junk hisun motors!
that guy from Canada replied to hisun junk's topic in Cub Cadet UTV SxS Forum
Just an fyi Ive worked on a few hisuns biggest issue with 700 750 is that when the engine was installed it was installed at the wrong angle and when going uphill it runs low on oil. Add 1 liter or quart of oil from full and re mark the dip stick. This will solve a lot of issues especially with timing chain and wet clutch.
