With a genuine sadness on Friday, last, I sold my beloved "Thing"  (Coleman Outfitter LSV 400/Hisun HS 400). As some of my fellow forum members are aware I recently suffered a massive stroke that negatively affected (a polite way of saying "completely f......  up") my left side. They said I'd never walk again--but I live to prove "experts" wrong, or 1/2 wrong anyway; My upper left side is FUBAR (I could not get into the beast without assistance and once in could not set (or release) the parking brake, or run the light switch or turn signals. The only way out was to fall out onto the lawn.

Time to let it go... Gotta get woking on "modding" my new power wheelchair.--it's only 2WD, but has a motor for each wheel and with decent tires who knows???

I can still read, do research and  and learn; I'll step-in from time to time when I think I can help-please feel free to tell me to "buzz-off" if I get i get annoying...

Well,  all i know is someone is getting a good well taken care of machine.

 I bet you can get some mud grips, lift kit and even some wheel spacers to put on your chair.. then you can go anywhere.

I'll be praying for you.

@cliffyk sad to read you sold your machine and the challenges you are facing 😞. Hopefully you will continue to prove experts wrong! Your input and participation here at utvboard has been invaluable, so hopefully you will find it in you to still stick around, when time permits.  Would love to see you mod your wheel chair, so share if you will, I'm sure it'll be awesome!

So sorry to hear this but I can understand the way you feel. My daughter and wife made me sell my trailer because they are afraid I might fall and really hurt myself. I'm 89 years old And have hard time getting up off the ground. I can still get on the machine but can't go on any trails. I got Radial street tires on last week so I'm Going to stay close to home. Nov. 1st Oklahoma  well allow street legal machines to register and get a license to ride on roads with the speed limit35 MPH. I don't know how I will like that, we will see. Again I'm sorry about your situation, But be glad you wake up every morning, I am.

Sorry about your situation but I dont think a lift kit on the power chair would be a good idea. You'll hit the armrests on the table and won't be able to eat. 

Guess I'll need a kit for the table too...

      I'm thinking of buying a snow blade for my Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun with Coleman stickers).
      Has anyone purchased a snow blade that can offer the make and model they bought and any comments, pros  cons etc.?
      Not 100% sure I'm going to buy, as the selection of blades for this model seems a bit thin on line. 
      Thoughts and comments welcomed.
      Thanks in advance.

      We see a lot of the UT400 with shift problems, not going into gear, popping out of gear, grinding etc. There  is a bulletin Im sure everyone has saw about adjusting shift cable.  That dont always fix it.  I went round n round with coleman  on couple units. We are a Coleman warranty repair center"AFS Small Engine Repair "   I told them shift lever does not have enough travel .  No amount of cable adjustment  will increase travel . I  extended lever with piece on flat  iron by 3/4 of inch .  This gave shifter enough travel to properly engage into gear completely .  Last couple units to come in for this Coleman sent me a modified shift lever, with longer travel . Problem solved! Also , heads up if you get any new unit ,,,go over and check it out,  grease  all zerks, check air filter for being in backwards, check wiring harnesses for rubbing on rotating parts,  brake hose  routing , make sure not touching exhaust .  These are just  few of the more common failures I see .

      My buddy has a ut400 that the forward gear keeps popping out of gear. She only has like 400 miles on the odometer .the shift cable has been adjusted and the shift lever has been updated / modified. All other gears are good. Is there an internal detent cam or something that wears out or shift fork that can be replaced ? Or is there some other magic that I can perform ? Looks like the engine needs to be split.

      Have a Coleman UTV 400 that cranks, runs, drives well until it gets warm and is put under load.  Light throttle or full throttle it doesn't bog, but it will cut out mid throttle if you move the pedal quicker than it seems to like for example when you're getting ready to go up a hill, but if you immediately floor it, it will do just fine and not cut out.  It's random if and when it's going to do it, but is consistent in that it happens only when hot/full operating temperature.  I've replaced the injector twice, same with the spark plug and tried different heat ranges (NGK 7,8 and 8 iridium), replaced the fuel pump, adjusted the valves, checked air filter which is like new, changed the oil, replaced the fuel filter.  No check engine light.  I don't have a code reader for this.  Initially I thought it might have a head or head gasket issue as when I got it, the oil was over full, very runny like water milky and it was smoking.  I've changed the oil since then twice to clear and clean everything out, and it seems to be good.  Coolant stays the same level and so does oil with no changes in consistency or need for adding more. Had I think 7-9 miles when I got it and now has about 77.  What should I try or consider next?

      Is there a better performing higher volume injector than what they come with or what is the best replacement for the original?
