2017 Massimo msu500 efi no start

[Swampdonkey]

2017 msu500 efi. Has spark and fuel. Valves are within clearances.  Leave key on I get a 118 code. Ect sensor? Could this keep it from starting

Old plug was black

[Swampdonkey]

Got it to start by feathering the throttle . Revs fine dies at idle. Hard to restart probably foiled plug again

Looks like blown head gasket.  Temp light came on and started shooting water out exhaust . Should be under warranty  only 25 hrs on it

Just heard back from dealer, says Massimo won't cover warranty due to mud or water in side. Where should I look to buy parts

check with motorcycle doctor, better pricing and keeps lots in stock.

Ordered from motorcycle doctor. Put new gaskets in everything back together and fired right up. But saw bubbles between head and hug. Gonna take back apart and try resurfacing

Call me if you have questions or problems. Numbers on my website warriorsoffroad.com

Had some gouges in head smoothed out with razor put new gasket in. Seems to be running fine. Had some white smoke out exhaust once warmed up but I believe it from old coolant left in there from original problem.

Started again next day no smoke anx just smells like burning out mud and whatnot. Gonna ride a little today and check oil and coolant

[strike250]

did you check to make sure the cylinder head was not warped? if it was, then the head gasket will never seal correctly. Also keep in mind on the smoke, it will smoke for a bit if any coolant gets into the exhaust pipe, it takes a little bit to burn it out.  If you have the head off, check the surface to see if its 100% flat. any warping will cause a poor seal. Also check the cylinder to ensure its not warped as well. \

In the cylinder head...

Where is the starter located on a Massimo MSU500? If anyone knows I would really appreciate it because I can’t find anything online of where it is
