  I have a rural King Hisun 550 with 16 hours on it  and it seems that the  timing is set too high.  It kicks back when started  cold and it idles too fast.  Also, it seems that the thermostat  is stuck open because it takes it forever to warm up and it never gets to the midrange operating temperature.  I looked at the parts list and didn't see that it has a thermostat.  There doesn't seem to be any way to adjust the idle and it idles too fast to change the gear range or reverse.  I've replaced the fuel injector and installed a fuel filter, that didn't do much.

Hi Kenfain!  It was bought originally a couple of years ago by someone, and when problems started happening, they returned it to Rural King.  It had been setting around for a year or so after that and the store manager wanted to get rid of it, so it sold it to me with a $3000 discount and it doesn't have a warranty.

I thought it would be something like, that since you're here asking questions about something that definitely should be warranty work. 

Have you checked for trouble codes yet? Strange blinking on the dashboard clock? Anything like that?

Due to the nature of your problem, there's probably not a code thrown. But sometimes you get lucky. And at any rate, that's the best place to start.

Thanks Kenfain!  It is not showing any error codes on the display, only the time and the hours.   I'm thinking maybe the cam timing chain is loose but I don't want to immediately dive into that until I get some feedback from this forum.   I wish I could find a service manual.  I have rebuilt several motorcycle engines and the like, but it would be good to have a manual and parts diagrams to help troubleshoot.  I don't think the engine has a coolant thermostat, at least I haven't been able to locate it.  With a fuel injected engine, things can get funky when the temperature the engine computer senses is incorrect.

Yes, I can see where a loose timing chain could cause the issue. But I'd think that you would hear it making noise, if it were that loose. But at only sixteen hours, it seems unlikely though.

 Unfortunately, if there's no codes, and no way that I know of, without sophisticated testing equipment, to get live data readings. Then you'll probably be left to just test each possible component. Or until more information leads you in a specific direction. 

I think the temperature sensor is as good a place as any to start. But since data for testing each component, seems hard to come by. How would you know what constitutes a failing part, that hasn't actually failed yet?

Okay guys, I found the problem on my Hisun 550.  One of the compression release cam plates on the cam chain drive gear came off and fell down into the gearbox and crankcase!  Luck was with me because none of it got caught into the crank or drive gears.  The little torsion spring  must have gotten pinched in one of the gears because it was mangled and cut in two pieces.  I was able to order a cam shaft assembly from Alpha-Sports and have installed it.  But I had to tear the magneto cover off to fish out all of the broken parts from the crankcase, and that took quite a bit of time.  The service manual is a little vague on setting the cam timing.  I found the timing marks on the chain sprocket and camshaft end, but the manual doesn't specify where those are located relative to the head.  After looking at other manuals, I believe that those marks should align with the top center of the head with the piston at top dead center.  If anyone knows different, please let me know.  THANKS

Yes!  On the inside of the head housing, behind the chain sprocket cover, there is a little projection at the very top that the timing marks on the cam sprocket and the compression release shaft should be aligned with when the piston is at top dead center.   The magneto flywheel has timing marks on it that lines up with the "peep window (behind the blower) when the piston is at top dead center.   I got the engine all back together and it runs great now!  :)

      2022 Hisun Sector 550 eps. Power steering not working
      By A P
      Hi
      I have a 2022 hisun sector eps 550. 30amp fuse is blown for eps. Checked the motor and it’s fine. Opened up the controller and found a bad diode. Dealer wanted 500$ for the controller. Just posting this in case it helps someone. I couldn’t read numbers from the old one so just took a guess and replaced it with a 100v 3amp diode.

      I started my UT400 but forgot to buckel my seat belt.  It bogged down and then died.  Only way I could restart it was to press the gas pedal and if I let up on it, it stalls.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

      Hisun Sector e1 Battery replacement: any tips?
      By didgeridoo
      Hello, All!  I've decided to replace the traction batteries in my 2018 Sector E1 with a 48V Lithium set. They may be expensive, but I figure the Discovery Dry Cell are, too. I am not looking for the max driving range, as I have never received near the brochured range to begin with, but a good mix of charge/ get work done/ charge is what I am expecting.
      I have settled on the 48V EAGL kit from bigbattery dot com. Each battery pack provides 30Ah. The kit ships with a charger, as well. The packs would be physically connected in parallel (using a busbar) to one another, maintaining the 48V voltage, but together would be able to provide the amp draw the buggy pulls when going up hill or towing a rake (rated 320 max continuous Amps). This is in comparison to the serial connection the eight 6V lead batteries. Each of the EAGL batteries looks to have its own BMS; am I correct in thinking I will have to use their included charger rather than (simply) changing the onboard charger to lithium mode? The chemistry of the pack is LiFe PO4, for what it's worth.  I haven't torn anything apart yet (to diagram), so  I am not sure how the dash will interpret the AMP draw, but the kit I am looking at includes a dash mounted charge indicator.
      If anyone has completed a similar conversion, do you have any tips? Specifically, how did you remove the original batteries, and how did you secure the new ones? I am guessing that almost any change from the stock batteries would involve at least some modifications. Any tips would be appreciated, especially things I may have failed to consider. Thanks!

      Now that I have done the LI-Ion batt conversion, I need to do something about the suspension
      By Kingfish
      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.
