It's called werk-aah-haul-lick desease. No cure, can be terminal and detramental to relationships.

Only detrimental when only one has it. In our case both have it so it is compatible. On a side note. You know we like to find things at thrift shops. I found the prize. A Saidhead 2008 Watkins Glen green tie-dye t-shirt with bushy headed Saidhead skulls. Roc washed it and I have wore it for two days! It is so coooool!

She is back together. Very very quiet and I am very pleased. I only lowered 1 3/4" - 2". I could have lowered another 1" - 1 1/2" but not worth the extra work. I would have had to cut the hitch brace off and relocate. Only thing remaining is reinstalling the muffler (10 minutes), skid plate ( 30 minutes) and a few miscellaneous things (15 minutes). It does seem to be smoother but could be the power of suggestion, I wanted it to be quieter. This is the end of this STORY!

I lied, I'm back!

Went for a drive down the frontage road next to the freeway today. At 60 mph it was GREAT! I had not put the skid plate under the motor on and thought maybe I will leave it off. I have never had one on any of my Jeeps or sand buggies in that location. WELL, I looked at the skid plate to see if it had been used in past adventures. The thing has huge deep marks from encounters with rocks. Guess it is going back on. I had to top off the Trans gear oil but decided Royal Purple was too expensive and went with Castro Syn. Gear Oil (Half the Price). She is washed and boy was she dusty. I have to apologize to everyone who came to Farmington. I looked for some where with good terrain & cool temps. Over looked if it would be dry for months before resulting in DUST! Sorry about that! Well we are taking her to Baja or Yuma / Palm Springs this winter. Maybe we will see someone there! In the mean time We are back in our hills here at home. The monsoons have started and the DUST is gone. Have fun!

      We have a 2018 Cub Cadet Challenger 400 and I found this Internally Threaded Bolt with a 10mm head size laying in the floor of the shop bay here on our ranch where we park the Cub Cadet.
      Trying to figure out where it belongs...

      2002 ranger 500 4x4 stopped running and wouldn't restart. Service manual wiring diagram helped identify the hub safety switch as the culprit. Using jumper wires to bypass  switch allowed the engine to start and run normally. Inspection of switch showed melted epoxy and a strong smell of burnt electrical. Unable to find replacement part either used or new. Is there a work around other than jumper wiring?

      2021 Hisun Axis 500 UTV (From Lowes)
      Will NOT START
      MY apologies if this is to much info just wanted to give yal the most information possible for help.
      I'm a so called diyer. An Electrician by trade 21yrs. I got my S×S from my last job. The contractor purchased this S×S for this specific job brand new, from Lowes. They used it for hauling materials, tools, & a little bit of anything you can think of on an Industrial type job site. 
      I remember getting on the SxS one time & pushed the gas petal all the way to the floor & SxS had very little power. 
      So anyway ,when the job finished up back mid July this year (7/2024) , I asked the contractor what they was going to do with it. I was told to take it. Otherwise it would go to the contractors yard (storage yard) & most likely rust away. 
      Took it home washed it , it had a heavy coat of dust on it & in it dust was every where. My helper & I had to push it on the trailer to get it home.  After washing it throughly I let it sit & dry out for a good day and half, maybe 2 days. Before trying to start it. NO START. Will turn over & try to start but thats it. 
      So here's what I've purchased & installed. New Air Filter, new spark plug, new air idle control valve (AICV), new throttle position sensor, new throttle body, new oxygen sensor, new digital dash speedometer/fuel gauge/clock. 
      Also drained the old oil & gas & replaced with new oil & 93oct. gas. I should probably mention that I've changed the AICV twice. The 1st time I changed the AICV I was able to get the SxS started & let idle for at least 10-15min. Drove out of the garage, with very little power,  turned it around & barely got it back in the garage.That was the one & only time I've been able to start the SxS. I've also cleaned the Throttle Body and & intake with TB cleaner.  So after that the AICV was  making weird noise so I pulled it out & tried cleaning it, pretty sure I messed it up. So I purchased a Throttle Body that came with new AICV & TPS. Still NO START.  I've checked the fuel pump & the fuel injector.  I took the injector off still hooked up to wiring & turned the key over, the injector sprayed a lot of gas out kinda the size of a volleyball. I've also checked the clearance gap on the intake & exhaust valve. But today 11/2/2024 I'm going recheck spark plug gap & the valve gaps. And alot of other checking. Would the driver side seat belt have anything to do with it not starting?? I know the driver side seat belt has to be in gauged for full throttle "going fast". Thing is the drv. side seat belt will latch but feels like might be messed up inside of it. Tired opening it up but to no avail.  I've never had a S×S or 4wheeler so I was really excited when I got the S×S,not so much anymore.  I work on & fix my own vehicles usually no problems.  But this SxS is kicking my ass.
      So if possible & someone could help me with some ideas or tell me what Im doing wrong or did wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you for reading thus far.
