Well, just spent some time looking for a loose ground. The only ground wire I could locate was 3, attached on the frame on the driver's side near the fuel tank. There's a ground wire attached to the starter, which was tight. I still have to hit the starter a few times to get it to turn over. Is there any way to diagnose a bad ignition switch? I checked the battery, and it was showing 12v with the engine off, and 14+ when running.

My T-boss 410 does the same thing, but intermittently. Mine is probably a loose wire at the starter. Or the starter relay. I haven't checked mine yet, but let me know if I have helped!

I bypassed my ignition switch and went to the solenoid connector. I ran a wire from my positive side of my battery to the push button switch, and from the other side of switch to the red/yellow wire o

I just brought home a 2023 TBoss 500...Runs great and then I parked it,,,, The next day I got in turned the key,,, Waited a minute then tried to crank it over,,,, Nothing!!!I thought maybe its in thewrong gear or something,,, I shifted to high then low then neutral...All did nothing,,, Then waited a minute and tried again and it fired right,,,, What is going on with this,,?  Any ideas ... It's just one day old,  virtually brand new!

I just had this had. But I was at a stop sign and it died. Then took several attempts at turning the key and shifting gears. It wouldn't even crank. Then all at once it fired up. No idea what happened. It's new with only 37 miles on it

      Axis 500 4x4 turns over but no spark
      By D MAYNARD
      I have an Axis 500 4x4 UTV that I was given.  It looks like an almost new machine with 39 hrs on it however it was apparently under water from the hurricane . I have no spark at the plug. I have replaced the plug, the plug wire, & the stator so far. Can anyone advise me of what i need to check and or replace to get this thing running? Any advise would be greatly appreciated. 
                                    Thank You,

      Anyone know anything about the Massimo Warrior 1000 MXD Crew UTV? I like the look but don't know anyone that owns one. All feedback is appreciated.

      2015 MSU-500 crank - no start
      By Prepper
      I'm working with a 2015 MSU-500.  Basic symptoms are it cranks well, but will not fire.  It has spark, and it has fuel spraying out of the injector (and spraying starting fluid into the throttle body and plug hole makes no difference).  It has compression.  I bought it not running, and no other information was available.  It has 775 miles on it and 127 hours.  It looks to be in very good shape.   Previous owner replaced fuel pump, ECU, coil, plug, and the fuse/relay box that mounts on the firewall, then gave up.
      My questions relate to cam/valve timing, considering the symptoms and diagnostics so far.  My thinking was the woodruff key sheared off and the crank spun, making it out of time.  My question is, by the pictures attached does anyone have an opinion as to the cam/valve timing being correct?  In the crankshaft picture you can see a timing mark visible.  In the camshaft picture I have arrows directed towards what I think are timing marks (which appear to be exactly 180 degrees from one another).  However, the long arrow in what appears to be bolt configuration in line with the piston/rod line.  Here is a puzzling note... in the position you see in the pictures... I have valve lash on both the intake and exhaust.  I think it's at TDC, given the visible crank timing mark and valve lash on both valves. 
      Any thoughts ?  Does this appear to be in proper valve time ?  Have I missed anything simple ?  Thanks in advance for your input.

      Coleman 400 UTV fuel issue
      By weasel
      starts up you have keep rpms up for 5 minutes till it warms up then runs fine. But if it stalls wont start unless you unplug fuel pump and hold it to the floor till it starts then plug pump back in and run it till it warms up then it is fine all day.
