Shine pen light into chain and lower sprocket cavity.....just to be sure the chain in on the sprocket.  Keep tension on the chain and tie a nylon twist string (not braided as they do not stretch) to the "top" of the timing chain with the other end tied off on the roll cage.  The top tie point must be very close to the position the cam gear will install to.  Slide in the cam gear and milk the chain around the gear and then keep the chain and gear tight so the chain cannot jump of the lower sprocket.  Mount gear to cam and verify the timing dots and sling weights.  The 3 hand fix.   BEN

      2023 massiso T-boss 750 cam sprocket removal
      By Gerald Mohs
      Is the cam sprocket a bolt removal or is it pressed on? Dang bolt is on tight. Impact wrench won't even move it.

      Hisun will not change gears while running
      By Buck
      My father-in-law has a Hisun 750.  It has started to not change gears while running.  He can turn it off, change gears, then restart and it will change.  I thought it might have something to do with the brake but can’t find any info.  Thanks in advance for any info.

      Hisun Vector 500 Lower Timing Chain Sprocket
      By Texas Rider
      Okay guys, this Vector 500 is killing me. Hisun 500cc engine (Chinese)  About a year ago while riding slowly, I heard a tink and UTV turned off and would not start.  Checked everything long story short, timing chain jumped off lower sprocket, slightly bent the cam sprocket phasers.  Bought new chain and cam sprocket, set everything back to timing position, mounted chain on lower shaft sprocket and upper cam sprocket.  Set the tensioner, cranked and poof, chain once again jumped off lower shaft sprocket.  Again, repeated proper timing settings, remounted chain, cranked and poof again and again and again, chain keeps jumping off lower sprocket.  Just to be clear, valves, piston and all components are look in great condition.   Can't see shaft sprocket but to the finger behind the tight squeeze, all sprockets seem to be in place, or maybe not.  Tired of fiddling with it. This was bought brand new at Home Depot and has less than 200 hrs in the past 3 years.  Don't tell me to warranty it as that expired one year in. Talked manufacture out of McKinney TX and service tech was no help.  My question to you, what am I missing? What next?

      2022 Massimo t-boss 550 timing parts
      By doncaron
      Hello 
      I have a 2022 Massimo t-boss 550. I’m looking for a fix for my timing problem. It keeps getting out of timing. Now I’m trying to find the proper parts for the linhai motor. I’m looking for tensioner chain and gear. If there’s anything else I can do to fix this issue please let me know. Unfortunately I can’t afford to get something better so I got to get it fixed. Thanks in advance.

      trying to finish assembly "new" 2021 Coleman ut 400
      By buckrub
      Hey guys! Newbie here. I'm an old man who's better with plowing a mule (4-legged kind) than these newfangled beasts. I, and a friend of mine, just bought new Coleman sxs and are having to finish the assembly. I've been reading on this site and I'm falling on the mercy of you experts. The only way I'm an expert is that an "ex" is a has been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure. LOL First off, the 2 buggies have no ignition switches. They seem to mount on the dash, not the opening in the steering wheel shaft cover, so we ordered new ones that are supposed to fit. They are 8 inches long, and have a 4-wired white plugin which is slightly rectangled when looking at the end of the plug. The trouble is there's nothing to plug into. There is a three-wire grey plug close enough to reach the four-wire plug, but of course, they are not compatible. 
      Secondly, the blinker, light, ect. unit on steering wheel just spins around when touched. I see no way in heaven or earth to secure it. I've looked at a diagram on the Powersports site, but can't detect how it mounted. Fellows I'd be so grateful for any help with this. Me and my mule will even plow your garden for free, for your help. LOL
