I was looking at purchasing a 2017 Hisun vector 500, used of course.  The seller is selling it cheap stating the machine had "an unknown oil leak" and his kids ran it low on oil causing the timing chain to brake.  I am not familiar with small engines, but with what is being described, wouldn't this result in some damage to other internal components as well?  Just trying to get an idea if the machine is worth fixing or would it likely need a complete engine/overhaul to make it right before I entertain the thought of purchasing it.

It may or may not have damaged the valves. Either way it's a fairly large project to replace. Not sure on the 500, but complete assembled heads for these things are not crazy expensive (a couple hundred $) so for then right price if you're willing to put the time and labor in it could be a good deal.

I wouldn't worry too much about the valves or head damage as I have seen timing chains break and do no damage.  What you will have to do is check if the engine has compression and  if that is good (making sure that the valves are closed of course).  Then take off the valve cover (and maybe the head) along with the flywheel, stator etc. and replace the timing chain.

      2016 Cub Cadet 500 runs rough
      By CapnWalleye
      Just picked up a Cub Cadet 500 that had shift issues (corroded fan gear) which I fixed. It also didn't seem to be running smoothly then all of a sudden it got worse. It seems to miss on both idle and when pushing the gas pedal to the floor and doesn't seem to be running at full power. I've been working with a local person who is walking me through some steps, but I'd like some input from this group as well. What I've done:
      - drained the fuel tank and replaced it with 93 octane fuel and added heet to help with any water problems.
      - replaced the fuel injector.
      - disconnected the battery (several times) to allow the module to reset.
      - set the valve clearance, both intake and exhaust, within specs ... intake was tight but exhaust seemed fine.
      - replaced the battery.
      - replaced the O2 sensor.
      Nothing has helped. Not sure what the next steps are, but would appreciate any expertise that can be offered here.

      Code Reader for Delphi MT05 Coleman UTV 400 Hisun
      By Homeowner A
      Is there a code reader available for the Coleman UTV 400?  I tried using the HUD ECU Hacker software and cables/adapters but no luck OBD to delphi 6 pin and KKL VAG as well as ELM327.  Will not connect.  I was able to get it to connect randomly a couple of times, but haven't been able to since.  I was able to clear and read the codes briefly.  I'm aware of the Tiny Scan 301 but it doesn't seem to be readily available.  There's a few out there but they are expensive.
