So... I have just finished rebuilding the 500 (bought it with low compression).

The rebuild was successful runs great. But, I'm not circulating water. I've been trying to read through the forms to figure this out and I'm going through the process of trying to bleed or replace my water pump either way there is a hose barb.

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.

The main trick is tilting the front end up.  Block the rear wheels and jack up the front end at least a foot.  A convenient ditch works well also.....rear wheels in a shallow ditch.  The head bleeder screw should be opened.  With the engine NOT running, almost fill the radiator (leave some air to avoid a mess) and burp (squeeze the lower hose line before the metal tube at the engine base passenger side floor area).  Watch the radiator and the the bleeder.  With the radiator "higher" than the head bleeder, the air should be bled and coolant dribble out.  Close the bleeder and refill radiator (your clue you displaced the air with coolant) and start the engine.  Burp more while running and if you get the circulation going the hoses will warm up.  More bubbles should surface at the radiator filler neck.  Shut off engine.  Open bleeder and release any air in the head.

The puke jug needs to be filled about an inch above the full cold line.  Use a shop towel as a "seal"and use an air nozzle to SLIGHTLY pressurize the puke tank removing the air from the tubing line to the radiator neck.  Then the radiator starts to overflow, a third hand can install the radiator cap.  Run the engine and determine the head and hoses are at the close to the same temperature (as in warming up) through out the system.  IR temp gun....fairly cheap now....can get real numbers.  Scan the radiator, hoses, cylinder and head.....if all close you are done.  Recheck fluids when done riding.  Recheck the bleeder and top off the puke jug as required.

Nothing....weep hole for coolant to escape if the water pump seal fails.....don't end up in the engine oil.  Some brands use a small J hose that bugs nest and block off or mud will seal over....which is not good.

Other than what Ben1098 posted, you could try to take both radiator hoses disconnected from radiator. With front of machine raised. Pour antifreeze into one hose until it comes out the other.

OR with front raised, Disconnect the top hose. Leave bottom hose connected to radiator. Pour antifreeze into radiator until it comes out the top hose. Then reconnect the top hose.

problem is the air blocks the water passage on top of the head.. you gotta bleed it there and mine has bleed at waterpump. some air was trapped there too.. If air is in it, water will not circulate and it will overheat fast.

      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.

      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!

      This post will explain how to hook up your PC to the ECU of a Hisun/Coleman/Etc UTV to be able to read error codes & engine parameters for troubleshooting purposes.
      This is applicable to all small engines using the Delphi MT-05 ECU. This should cover all fuel injected Hisun models, as well as various other Chinese FI engines, as the Delphi MT-05 ECU seems to be the favored ECU solution.
      Even though we get actual engine error codes to display on the dash, sometimes we have “pending codes” (not yet confirmed by the ECU) or other intermittent issues that are hard to diagnose, for example a poorly connected sensor that may give intermittent false readings, or a sensor that’s putting out bad date, but not bad enough for the ECU to realize.
      The setup requires 2 cables, which are available for around $25 combined, a PC with a USB port, and some charityware software called “HUD ECU Hacker”. This gives the same functionality as the $300 dealer code scanner for a fraction of the price.
      In searching I found info about HUD ECU Hacker, but I have yet to see info anywhere about how to hook it up to a Hisun, so I took the leap and bought some cables, and made it work. I will show a step by step of how to do so in post two.
      I will be breaking this down into 2 posts:
      Delphi ECU Info & Overview (This post) System setup & use Delphi ECU Info (Skip ahead to the next post if your eyes glaze over technical details)
      The Delphi MT-05 ECU was developed to allow small engines to use fuel injection. A fuel injection system requires feedback from various sensors to operate efficiently. This feedback allows the adjustment of ignition timing, fuel injection volume, etc to efficiently and cleanly produce the most power possible from a given engine.
      The MT-05 ECU has a number of sensors that are required for proper functioning including; Coolant temp, crankshaft position, intake temp, intake pressure, exhaust O2, throttle position, as well as some other optional sensors that are used on more complex vehicles.
      From the sensors the ECU adjusts: Fuel injector timing/pulse, Idle air control valve, and ignition coil

      The Delphi MT-05 puts out diagnostic data, however it is not ODB2 like a modern car, where is where it gets tricky reading it. There are three options, there is an old 16 bit piece of software Delphi has that is not able to run on a modern computer, there is the motorscanner tool for dealers ($300), or there is freeware HUD ECU Hacker with the proper cables.
