Most of the time my 500 runs fine.  However twice now, after I had been running the marching for a while I have had issues with it stalling when I put it into gear.

It will start and idle fine, but when I try to put it into gear (forward or reverse) the engine stalls.  Both times I was finally able to get it to turn well enough to get home by starting the engine, pushing the 500 then while moving put it into gear.  After that it ran fine, including while stopped.

 

I have pulled the cover off of the belt, and everything seems to be fine.

 

Any thoughts/suggestions on what to check?

 

Thanks!!

So have to push it while in neutral THEN while it's rolling, slam it into gear.

That is not good on the transmission. 

Even when the engine is running, the clutch should not be engaged until there is higher RPM. Then the engine spins the clutch, the paws on the clutch slings out and engages the clutch drum. The drum spins the primary sheave. Primary sheave spins the cvt belt. Cvt belt spins the secondary sheave. Secondary sheave is on a shaft attached to transmission. 

 

Now the clutch is a wet clutch. It uses a special engine oil for wet clutch motorcycle, ATVs and such.

Is it possible it has the wrong oil? 

Possible air filter?

Possible fuel filter?

Since it doesn't happen all the time it will be hard to test. Maybe the next time it happens. Jack up the machine so wheels are off the ground. Start again and put in gear. See if it stalls again. I just don't know enough to help. Sorry.

      Just picked up a Hisun 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.

      I'm working with a 2015 MSU-500.  Basic symptoms are it cranks well, but will not fire.  It has spark, and it has fuel spraying out of the injector (and spraying starting fluid into the throttle body and plug hole makes no difference).  It has compression.  I bought it not running, and no other information was available.  It has 775 miles on it and 127 hours.  It looks to be in very good shape.   Previous owner replaced fuel pump, ECU, coil, plug, and the fuse/relay box that mounts on the firewall, then gave up.
      My questions relate to cam/valve timing, considering the symptoms and diagnostics so far.  My thinking was the woodruff key sheared off and the crank spun, making it out of time.  My question is, by the pictures attached does anyone have an opinion as to the cam/valve timing being correct?  In the crankshaft picture you can see a timing mark visible.  In the camshaft picture I have arrows directed towards what I think are timing marks (which appear to be exactly 180 degrees from one another).  However, the long arrow in what appears to be bolt configuration in line with the piston/rod line.  Here is a puzzling note... in the position you see in the pictures... I have valve lash on both the intake and exhaust.  I think it's at TDC, given the visible crank timing mark and valve lash on both valves. 
      Any thoughts ?  Does this appear to be in proper valve time ?  Have I missed anything simple ?  Thanks in advance for your input.

      I have  a bulldog i bought from home depot in 2013.  In the last season it started refusing to shift from neutral to either forward or reverse.  I changed the trans axle fluid and made sure the cables were lubricated and free.  With a lot of coaxing, I can sometimes get it to shift.  once I start driving it, things improve until I let it set awhile.   Any suggestion on where to go from here?

      My wife accidentally ran the Axis 500 into a fence and tore the front end up (broke her arm too). Just wondering where the best place to get front end parts? I know she busted the knuckle but haven’t jacked it up yet. Thanks guys for any help!
