Hisun Fuel gauge and tank


oakhill

Recommended Posts

I purchased a 2015 Hisun HS500 UTV used, and the only thing wrong with it is the fuel gauge does not work.  When the fuel pump is in the tank, the gauge always reads empty.  When I remove the fuel pump from the tank and manually move the float, the gauge works as it should.  When the fuel pump is in the tank, it sounds like the float is hitting something in the tank.  I checked the tank and there seems to be no obstructions in the tank.  I figured the float arm was too long so I cut 1" off the length of the rod and reconfigured the float.  I put it back in and the same thing happens:  the gauge shows "empty".  I have made sure the fuel pump is in the proper direction with the inlets pointing toward the driver side and the electrical connection is pointing toward the front of the vehicle.   We don't have a Hisun dealer locally and all the dealers away from here, including the plant in Texas, have no suggestions other than what I've tried.  Please help.

I had the same problem with my 800 hisun - if the pump is not bolted exactly with the float at 90 degrees to the front face of the tank it will hit and block the float from rising - drove mine for 2 years watching the mileage and using a homemade dipstick till i figured it out one day when i was trying to remove and check the fuel pump - pump was fine, ground wire back to frame was bad - made a new ground jumper and pump worked - benefit was that suddenly the fuel gauge also worked  when i  followed the instructions for aligning the pump when installing - the pump ground was not the gauge problem because the gauge never worked for as long as i have owned it even though the pump was working fine)- i guess the last guy didnt read the chapter on pump alignment - manual was in english and they all speak spanish here - grin - if it is not an alignment issue, i would suggest seeing if the float has a leak and is sinking - it is nothing but a glorified toilet tank float in concept and that happens on occasion to toilets as well as lawnmower and old dirt bike carburetor bowl floats

My fuel gauge never worked.  I've taken great pains to make sure the gauge is lined up according to the manufacturer's advise, hose connections pointing toward the drivers seat and the electrical connector pointing toward the front of the UTV.  The pump is new, the float looks solid.  I can see the float raise when i put it in a full tank of gas.  the fuel gauge works when I take the pump out of the tank.  I was wondering if perhaps the brass contacts on the float are not touching the contact on the float arm because of a little bit of play in the float arm?  I'll also check my wiring for a broken wire or bad ground.  Would you happen to have a drawing of how the wires are made up in the plastic connector?  Thanks for all your help.

which wire in the fuel pump connector is the ground wire?

Don't remember now - however, using a Volt Meter to ground on one side of the connector coming from the control block, showed 12 volts and the other side showed nothing (although I did see a miniscule voltage on what should have been the ground wire, this is a key indicator of a faulty ground and means your are getting a ground loop) -I switched the VOM to ohms and measured the other wire back to a ground on the engine used by other circuits and found an open - made a jumper wire and grounded the side I had just tested and fuel pump came on instantly when i turned on the ignition key (fuel injected model)

      2021 Hisun Axis 500 UTV (From Lowes)
      Will NOT START
      MY apologies if this is to much info just wanted to give yal the most information possible for help.
      I'm a so called diyer. An Electrician by trade 21yrs. I got my S×S from my last job. The contractor purchased this S×S for this specific job brand new, from Lowes. They used it for hauling materials, tools, & a little bit of anything you can think of on an Industrial type job site. 
      I remember getting on the SxS one time & pushed the gas petal all the way to the floor & SxS had very little power. 
      So anyway ,when the job finished up back mid July this year (7/2024) , I asked the contractor what they was going to do with it. I was told to take it. Otherwise it would go to the contractors yard (storage yard) & most likely rust away. 
      Took it home washed it , it had a heavy coat of dust on it & in it dust was every where. My helper & I had to push it on the trailer to get it home.  After washing it throughly I let it sit & dry out for a good day and half, maybe 2 days. Before trying to start it. NO START. Will turn over & try to start but thats it. 
      So here's what I've purchased & installed. New Air Filter, new spark plug, new air idle control valve (AICV), new throttle position sensor, new throttle body, new oxygen sensor, new digital dash speedometer/fuel gauge/clock. 
      Also drained the old oil & gas & replaced with new oil & 93oct. gas. I should probably mention that I've changed the AICV twice. The 1st time I changed the AICV I was able to get the SxS started & let idle for at least 10-15min. Drove out of the garage, with very little power,  turned it around & barely got it back in the garage.That was the one & only time I've been able to start the SxS. I've also cleaned the Throttle Body and & intake with TB cleaner.  So after that the AICV was  making weird noise so I pulled it out & tried cleaning it, pretty sure I messed it up. So I purchased a Throttle Body that came with new AICV & TPS. Still NO START.  I've checked the fuel pump & the fuel injector.  I took the injector off still hooked up to wiring & turned the key over, the injector sprayed a lot of gas out kinda the size of a volleyball. I've also checked the clearance gap on the intake & exhaust valve. But today 11/2/2024 I'm going recheck spark plug gap & the valve gaps. And alot of other checking. Would the driver side seat belt have anything to do with it not starting?? I know the driver side seat belt has to be in gauged for full throttle "going fast". Thing is the drv. side seat belt will latch but feels like might be messed up inside of it. Tired opening it up but to no avail.  I've never had a S×S or 4wheeler so I was really excited when I got the S×S,not so much anymore.  I work on & fix my own vehicles usually no problems.  But this SxS is kicking my ass.
      So if possible & someone could help me with some ideas or tell me what Im doing wrong or did wrong, I would greatly appreciate it.  Thank you for reading thus far.

      spits fuel from breather hose into the air cleaner and then down into carb.  What’s causing this ??

      The conversion took about 350lbs. off the vehicle.  It never rode great, but now I feel every  crack in the road.  I have backed off spring compression nut to the point just under where they would move around if suspension was at full extension, but it is still very stiff.  I would like to put some softer coilover springs on it, but I have no idea what the spring rate is with the original springs so I would just be guessing on what to order.  Does anyone have the data for the original spring compression rate?  I am willing to give up a little ground clearance for a softer ride. Right now when sitting still the rear suspension is at or near full extension and the rear tires have several degrees of camber which will cause uneven wear if allowed to continue in this state.

      Hi
      i have a 2019 Coleman 550 Outfitter.  The tail gate has a pin on each side, that snaps into latch blocks that are mounted on the inside of the tail gate opening.  There are two M6x16 pan head screws(bolts?) that hold the latch blocks in place.  The screws enter from inside the bed body, and I can’t figure out how to access them.  This is right by the tail light assemblies.  I tried taking a pan head screw out of the fender lip, but found out there is not a nut firmly inplace, to hold the pan head screw in.  Bottom line I’m making it worse.  
      coleman was no help.  If I could figure out how they attached the tail light, then maybe I could put the latch screws in through the tail light hole.  Any ideas?
       
      thanks
