I'm looking to purchase a 2015 Massimo 550 that might have an issue with it's throttle position sensor.   

From the fella selling this UTV, he claims its to set the idle on fuel injection because the engine will not stay idle or when it starts sometimes it idles too high.

My Question if anyone had any issues with their Massimo 550 and if it was actually the TPS or something else that would allow the machine to idle correctly.

Thanks!

Hi I am curious to find out what you end up with I have a Coleman 550 which as I understand is basically the same engine and I have the same problem but I've been told it's the injector which I've changed 3 or 4 times now, sometimes it helps and sometimes it doesn't. Thanks

The TPS does control idle, but other items can cause idle issues, such as a vacuum leak, carbon on the throttle plate and even a timing issue. Unfortunately Massimo doesn't produce detailed trouble shooting information on their UTV's.

Hi Mark ..

Well things ended up changing ...  I went and took a look at it and decided it was a bit smaller than I wanted.   So I ended up buying a Kawasaki Mule 4x4 Trans 4010 ..   with desiel ...  bought it on auction and know it needs some work..  One of those deals you see the pictures but have not physically seen it in person ...  So it should be interesting when I pick it up.

      Losing Fuel / Prime 500cc
      By Buddee
      2010 Hisun 500 - Carbed'.  She sat for about 3 weeks since last use.  Couldn't get it started.... has spark but plug was not wet.  Bought new plug, cleaned the carb, confirmed fuel pump (pulse type) is working.  Still nothing.  Put gas in the plug hole.... started right up and idled as normal and drove perfect.  Used it for the rest of the day without issue.  Tried to start again next morning.... same problem.  Poured gas in plug hole again.... started up and best kind again.
      Anyone have any insight to what's going on?

      2017 Massimo MSU 500 top end kit
      By Jerrys500
      Hi I'm about to order parts to do a bunch of work on my Massimo. Does anyone know if there's a difference in the top end kit {piston, Cylinder, Rings, Gaskets, Piston Pin} if it has a carb or EFI? I'm EFI and I think some came with a carb so I thought i'd ask before making a mistake...
      Thanks Jerr

      UTV Clutch wear?
      By Alien10
      I use my Hisun 550 (with the Coleman stickers), for general work around my 10 acres of hilly land. Hauling firewood, some dirt and mulch, and debris clean up. Also felling dead standing trees in the woods and hauling rounds out to the barn for splitting/stacking.
      Here's my question:  Those who use their UTVs with towed drag implements or snow plows, have you noticed any issues with early clutch slippage or failures?  Or premature belt wear?  Other drive line issues??
      Thanks in advance for any experienced thoughts and comments.

      2021 hisun forge 250 no spark no fuel
      By vachi
      hi everyone i have this 2021 Hisun forge 250 that won't start. no spark no fuel.   when i turn the key on i dont hear the relays click or fuel pump come on. it does have power but the relay doesnt ground the pump or the ignition coil. dont know if there are any safety switches on this model or not.  it does crank and all the accessories work. i  hot wired the pump and it does work.  i found a wiring diagram but it's very hard to figure out and was hoping someone has seen this before. all fuses are good. thanks in advance.
