Hello All...

     Just bought a 2014 Massimo 500 UTV.  It;s not running at the moment, but hopefully will soon.  I need a seat for it also (passenger side, if it makes any difference.)  It is a crank-but no start situation.  Just now starting to read the boards for solutions.  Apparently these models are well known for this issue.  If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to chime in, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Welcome to the site. 

Consider testing and diagnosis before throwing parts at it.  Doing that only compounds  the problem and often masks what is actually wrong with it.  Rember the basics of ICEs.  Spark, Compression and Fuel.

Test for spark and compression. Then try firing it up with a dribble of gas into the cylinder to see if it will run for a second or two.   If it does, you've narrowed the problem down to fuel delivery.

I've read that some of these earlier models particularly  Hisuns were shipped without in line fuel filters.   Their fuel injectors are sensitive to poor or dirty fuel so they quit or won't let it run much at if at all. 

Good luck Doctor, hope you diagnose the disease and that whatever it is,  its an easy and cheap cure.

Thanks.  Someone has already hung several new parts on it, to no avail.  That's how I got it.  I can't get it to the shop for another couple of days due to the snow storm, but hopefully by the end of the week.
