I have looked high and low to try and find a replacement engine for my sons Hisun Strike 250. I have had no luck has anyone else experienced the same problem? Is there anywhere to find one? It's only 2 years old it's almost unbelievable that it's disposable?

I've looked as well.  i got a 2014 model on facebook marketplace that has had quite a few problems.  I knew it had problems when I bought it and I got it at a really good price.  I considered just replacing the engine also, but ended up taking a crack at rebuilding the top end myself.  My first time doing that on anything at all, and it was a bit hairy for a beginner, but I managed to get it all back together.  Seems to be running well.  With it only being 2 years old, have you tried reaching out to the manufacturer for help?  I've learned a lot about this thing in the last 2 months, but still a long way to go.

I have the same problem: 

I have a 2017 Bennche Spire 250 (same engine as Hisun Strike 250) and I have searched for going on over a year now for a replacement engine with zero luck. Can anybody HELP?

Cody,  were you able to do the top end with the motor in the buggy?  Ours is burning oil bad and hoping a new cylinder, piston and rings will fix it up.  Did you need any special tools?  It's at my mother in laws house so would be nice to know if I need anything special.

What top end kit did you get? I was looking at this one https://tinyurl.com/2ku3bzfh

Sorry I just saw this message.  I think I might have been able to do it in the machine but I opted to pull it so I could get a better look at everything.  Being my first rebuild I didn’t want to have to fight it.  In retrospect, I also wish I had went ahead and rebuilt the clutch and replaced the belt while I had it out too because the clutch seems weak and I don’t think you can get the clutch cover off without pulling the engine out.  Haven’t looked too closely at that yet though.  Just be sure to label your wiring harnesses or take lots of pictures so you remember how everything goes back together.

      I turned off the key and then tried to start it a minute later and it would not start. I changed out the fuel filter and the injector. still nothing. if i have the injector pulled out and close to the hole the injector will spray fuel into the hole and it will run but the minute you put the injector in it will die. any idea's please

      I have a 2013 Hisun with a 686 Yamaha engine.
      I purchased it from an individual and it ran fine as long as the battery was full.
      I replaced the stator and now it will not start (run).  It cranks fine, has fuel pressure, but will not fire up.  I replaced the coil, no luck there.
      a technician told me that it was the wrong stator and wants a mint to replace it.
      the wires all plugged in when I installed the stator.

      This mod is not for the fainthearted, as it requires some basic metal fabrication and welding skills.  But the result is worth the effort IMO.  I chose an aftermarket Honda Talon windshield based on economy, size, and construction (aluminum frame, DOT glass, folding, windshield).  It fits OK, a little narrow at the top, and you need to incorporate the lower section of the original acrylic windshield and build some additional plates, but better than being too wide.  If you are wondering why I attacked this mod, it's because mine is driven daily on the street.  Tired of fading, scratchy, hazy plastic.  Sucks in the rain; sucks at night.  Now I can see.

      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Hey Guys, I have been chasing a stalling condition for about two weeks now. The bike will crank up and idle fine, then after about 20 seconds it will fall on its face and stall. It happens at both idle and while running at various rpms. You can turn the key off, turn it back on and it will fire right back up without trouble. I have verified spark on both cylinders with a spark tester. I have also added an inline fuel filter, and pulled the injectors to verify proper pulse on each. Things I have replaced - (relearn procedure performed after each component replaced): spark plugs, ECU, relay/fuse box, fuel pump, & throttle position sensor - all with no improvement of the condition. The only warning light I get when the condition occurs is the oil lamp. The bike only has 14 miles. I am at a loss and appreciate any help and suggestions! Thanks
