My hisun vector 500 will not start. It has spark and is getting fuel. It is currently in the low 20’s temp outside. Unit is in my barn but the barn isn’t heated. Could the no start be because of the low temps or something else? Unit only has about 20 hours on it.

I pulled the spark plug to check it. Checked the spark the old school way against a ground, it had good spark. There was a fuel smell on the plug. Cleaned the plug and turned the engine over with the plug out and fuel mist came out the cylinder. You can smell fuel when turning it over like it’s flooding. The engine acts like it wants to start once in a while. The unit sat for about 3 weeks before I moved it. It was hard to start then and the temp was in the low 40s. I added staybill to the tank before it sat for a while just in case.

Ok sir, check valve adjustment.  Sounds like they may need adjustment if you were struggling at 40 degrees.

Prior to that, I'd put a little fuel directly in cylinder through spark plug hole and see if she pops off.

Let us know the results

One thing I forgot to mention, try fresh gas, non ethanol if you can find it in your area.....drain the old gas out. Use new gas, about a teaspoon in cylinder.  I never use ethanol in small engines, stabil is not the best option either, try Startron

Oh, thanks for the update. I thought it had carburetor.

My guess would be poor quality gas. Usually only takes a few weeks to create problems if it is ethanol.

I would purchase new gas, not from a can on your garage. Winter blend non ethanol would be the best option.

The unit has the Delphi efi system on it. I will try the fuel on the cylinder . Thanks.

Does it have a check engine light on the instrument panel, that's lit? Any trouble codes at all?

I have similar problem only mine died while in use. I heard a slight pop right before it died. Then it would not start. 1st I checked was oil level and it was a bit higher than normal.  Removed spark plug boot placed test light in between and good. Removed plug and tested compression and had real good number considering it has less than 300 hrs. Listened for evi pressurizing and sounds good.  Added fuel since it was 1/3 on gauge and turned to on and off position 3 times then cranked but same issue.  What could have caused this and what to do next?

If you have fuel (fresh fuel), spark, and compression, I would look at timing. Is it sparking at the proper time? Is it possible the timing chain was loose causing the pop noise?

Remove cam cover and inspect, see if timing marks are lined up.

Also look in hole on bottom case to see if the timing mark is lined up. 

See if chain still has tension as well.

Piston should be at top dead center compression stroke when timing marks are lined up.

I have seen the chains get loose and they skip a tooth or two.

I don't understand how it does it, but, it does.

Changes timing and pops out intake.

First off, with only 300 hours, shouldn't this be a warranty issue?

It's got a crank position sensor that will tell the onboard computer where the crankshaft is. That will fine tune the timing. If that sensor  goes out, then it won't start, or run. But that should throw a code, so it might not be a sensor. 

It could easily be a fuel issue. Others here have had regular injector failures on these Chinese UTVs. So you should keep an open mind, and not start throwing parts at it.

First, I'd determine that the fuel pump is working, then pull out, and test the injector. If it has fire, and fuel, then it seems most likely to be timing, or possibly the CPU itself given the symptoms, and low hours.

The original post states that the machine has fuel, compression, and spark.

With a Hisun, low hours or miles means little to nothing.

I've had to rebuild top ends on basically new machines due to overheating among other issues.

These machines are riddled with problems. I wouldn't assume anything or overlook any possibilities.

If the machine has fuel, spark, and compression, logic points to the machine sparking at the wrong time.

Merely food for thought.....

But you're not talking to the op. That was back in February. The member that you're talking to said only that he's added gas to the tank. Which means next to nothing. 

Of course nothing is assumed, even on a new machine. But it's exponentially more likely to be either an electrical component, or a fuel issue. On a 300 hour machine, the likelihood of a mechanical failure would be secondary to those two.

So you said you have spark, new fuel, fuel pulsing from the injector. What did you get for compression? This will confirm the valves are ok, rings are in decent shape, etc.

You could also spray some carb cleaner, a small amount of fuel, etc down the spark plug hole, put the plug back and try to start it. If it starts briefly and dies that would point to a fuel issue.

Once you confirm compression I second checking the timing chain based on the symptoms. Yes the crank position sensor will set the spark timing, but it has no way of telling the valves are in the right position. I have read of a fair number of timing chain tensioner issues, even on relatively low hour engines.

Ok, so we go back to his original post. I was basing troubleshooting on this post . The popping sound is important. 

If it has fuel, spark, and compression ( assuming he made sure fuel is reaching combustion chamber and it's fresh) I would personally check timing next. The last one I rebuilt, the chain tensioner had a total meltdown with only 200 hours. Same symptoms as described.

Appreciate feedback.  As far as warranty  that expired. Original owner put 150 hr but hardly ever used it in the 3 years he had it. 50 of those hours were due to leaving ignition at the on position till battery died. I ve had it just over a year and use it primarily on weekends.  Still all original except oil and filter.  Seriously hoping it's not the timing.  Very difficult to pull cam off in such a tight fit area. Will try to find OBD hook up if it has one.

I have a post over on the coleman forum explaining how to get the Delphi code scanner working for around $25 in cabling, and free software.

Also I did remove fuel line at throttle body and plenty of fuel there when ignition is turned on. Sprayed starter fluid into intake and no start, not even a glimpse of want to ignite 

I agree the possibility of crank position sensor or even more so chain jump skipped a tooth setting it off time.  Will try cheaper route first with the CPS.

Throwing parts at it isn't the best way. It almost never works out well. Patience and checking out all the possibilities first, is the best way. Besides that, it's free. Now we know that the fuel pump is working, you should verify the injector is working also. It's a process of elimination, and that would mostly eliminate the fuel system as the problem. 

Sorry, but I just saw your last post. If starter fluid doesn't work at all. Then you could probably hold off on the injector test. Please verify timing marks first, as the others have suggested. This issue needs to be put to rest.

Ok, going to test sensor first hopefully that is the problem.  If not I have a feeling the pop I heard may have been the sheer pin as described in link I just posted. I'd hate to go that far though. Gonna have to take her to my workshop for that.

Set timing, turn motor slowly by hand ensuring valves move free. (At least 2 revolutions)

The key usually shears if wheels locked up or abruptly stopped. Generally, abuse causes key to shear.

Sometimes the chain tensioner loosens. The key doesn't always shear.

Ok guys, opened up cam window and removed timing chain cover. Looks like the chain is free spinning behind the flywheel as when I give harmonic balancer one revolution chain rains in place and is overly loose. Have to buy a 3 prong pulley to remove sprocket as flywheel and magneto has been removed.  Wondering if chain sprocket behind water pump drive sprocket broke? Any thoughts or suggestions?

      Hisun Vector E1 - Gear oils
      By Justine
      I've had a Hisun Vector E1 for just a bit longer than is required for me to do some maintenance. While it's well-overdue, it only drives 1.5km a few times each week on a fairly decent gravel road (to the letterbox), and it has worked really well right from the get-go.
      Looking at the manual it states that I need to use SAE80 API GL-4 Hypoid Gear Oil for the Main gear Case, and SAE80 API GL-5 Hypoid Gear Oil for the Front gear Case - unfortunately i can't find either of those online here in Australia. Plenty of options that look close, but, as someone who has never driven any vehicle before, I want to use the right thing and it's a tad confusing.
      My question: Since there are no oils that are bang on SAE80 (they all seem to cover a range) would Liqui Moly Hypoid GL4 Gear Oil 80W-90  & Motorex Hypoid GL-5 Gear Oil 80W90 - be ok to use? (Or any other suggestions of what I might be able to purchase online in Australia) And would I have to drain out any existing oil from both gear cases?
      This is a whole new world for me and  being able to find exactly what is specified in the manual hasn't made this easy!

      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.

      Heater installed 2021 Axis 500
      By Greg Kilgore
      Last year bought a small universal coolant style cab heater. Well I installed it today. Thanks to another member, RangeRider45, and his install
       
      That told in his post the size fitting he used. I got the same fittings plus a few others. And all went kinda smooth. Took a few minutes to get air purged from coolant system. Should have parked on hill with front up in the air. But would have had a hard time working on it.
      I had a variable power switch connected to an overhead cab fan. Never really used the fan that much. And I have to remove the fan to put on my cab enclosure anyway. So I repurposed the switch to supply power for the heater. The heater has 2 12-volt DC computer fans that are rated for 1.8 amps each. So it's not going to be a big drain on the weak charging system. And with the switch I've got great control over the speed of the fans.
      If anyone is interested the radiator hoses are 7/8 inch. I reworked the temperature sending unit (moved it closer to radiator) to make room for all the extra plumbing I did to get the heater to work the way I wanted. 
      Plumbing parts list.
      10-15 worm water clamps. 3/4 to 1 1/4 inch size.
      2 1" x 3/4" x 1" PEX Tee
      1 3/4" PEX ball valve
      1 1" PEX ball valve
      5/8" heater hose. I got 6' and probably have 4' left over.
      I used the radiator house I cut out to use as splices between the PEX fittings. The PEX fittings are not true to their dimensions that are stated on the package. So they fit the 5/8" and 7/8" very nicely.
      They way I have it plumbed is from radiation out side. A tee, then the 1" ball valve, then a Tee. Coming off the Tees are the hoses going to the heater core. There is a 3/4" ball valve on one of the Tees. The ball valves are used to bypass the heater core in the summer. Or direct the hot coolant through the heater core in winter. The temperature sending unit tells me how hot the coolant is. And if anything is getting too hot. The dash also has an idiot light that comes on if the head gets too hot. But doesn't do anything if the radiator gets too hot. There is a temp sensor on the radiator that controls the electrical fan. But if the coolant isn't circulating. That switch never sends a signal to turn on the fan. But enough talking/rambling. Everyone wants to see pics. The only thing I need to change is the orientation of the handle on the 1" ball valve. I have 2" or more clearance between the handle and the tire when cut hard right. But I still don't like it. And instead of taking the valve out and rotating 180°. I'm just going to take the nut off and rotate the handle 180°. Think I need to make a locking mechanism to lock the handles in place so they don't vibrate closed when the machine is moving.
      The temperature sending unit and housing. Size 22 mm. Aluminum from Amazon.

      Upper Tee the lower Tee is identical. Can also see the handle of the 3/4" ball valve on the 5/8" hose going to the heater.

      The 1" ball valve. Goes between the 2 Tees

      Wide view of the plumbing.

      The heater installed in the sxs. The 3 black hoses are just hanging there. Zip ties to the heater but not attached to any thing. Will probably just direct 2 toward the wife's feet. And 1 toward mine. Or what ever is need as the heat is needed on rides. The black hose in passenger floorboard is some 1" hose that is not needed. Don't know what I'll do with it.

       
      I think if I was going to do it again. I'd put some Indian Head gasket dressing or silicone on the 1" side of the PEX fittings. And I may still do that. But I really hate the ideal of introducing air back in the coolant system.
       
      Any questions just ask. It may take a while to answer. But I'll try.
      Ya be good and stay warm over the next few months

      2021 Hisun Axis 500 No Start - Need Help Please
      By Hunterman22
      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.
