explain please

what happened to the temp sensor that was there, is it gone, it sends a signal to the computer so that the computer can adjust the fuel to the temperature.

find A08 in the above file, if you want to take a chance on burning a hole in the piston by running too lean, you could substitute a resistor, but I would suggest putting the original back and find a different place for your manual gauge.

It has been a long time since I messed with my temperature sensor, but I think it may have been 2 sensors in one, one for the computer and one for the gauge, if I remember correctly, you can measure the resistance from terminal to terminal and from terminal to ground.

I don't know how or if the computer uses these readings, except to guess that if the computer thinks the engine is hot, maybe it dumps lots of fuel into it trying to keep it cooler, or if it thinks the engine is cold, it richens the mixture for easier ignition. I do not know. and I don't know what value of resistor to suggest.

I guess my suggestion would be to buy a new standard sensor and figure out how to put it back in.

When you get the new one, can you take some measurements?

First, do you have a good Ohm meter? If so, can you measure the resistances of terminal to terminal and each terminal to case while in a bath of ice water, then while in boiling water or hot oil if you have a way to measure the temperature,

Which sensor Lenny - the one at the head or the one on the radiator at the bottom?

I took the Rad one out and put my temp sensor there, and have had no running issues at all. Hopefully I pulled the right one...

The one in the heads is the one that the computer is interested in.

      2021 Massimo MXU 1000 Runs Rich
      By ToughLuck
      I have a 2021 Massimo MXU 1000.  Last winter the front drive shaft sheared off inside the motor and it was cheaper to buy a new motor than to take it apart in order to remove the front drive shaft that was broken inside the case…
      Now it is running rich, seems to maybe be geared too high, does not accelerate well once you hit about 28mph.  I’ve replaced the O2 sensor.  MAF is next (I accidentally ordered the wrong one, but when I removed the old one you can clearly smell fuel).  
       I’m not a motorhead but I can turn a wrench.  Any ideas how to get this motor optimized?  The motor has about 300 miles on it.  I broke it in as recommended in the manual.

      2016 Hisun 500 runs rough no power
      By CapnWalleye
      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.

      Can’t figure out what part I’m missing
      By Grant
      I recently bought an axis 500 and it’s missing a box or something the plug is L shaped I’ve looked through the wiring diagrams and still can’t figure it out. The plug is located right near the battery housing

      Free Massimo Buck 400 service manual
      By strike250
      I have the factory service manual available for the Buck 400. Just send me a message with your email and I'll get it to you. Although there is no charge for this, it would be great if  you would visit my website where you could donate any amount to help do things like this with others who need it. Again, there is no charge for this manual, and no obligation to donate. But if you did, I would thank you for sure. Have fun on the trails. www.warriorsoffroad.com
