Hi all. I'm new to the site. A few years ago I bought a used Massimo. Recently I've had a issue driving above 25mph. The engine won't go any faster. In fact it seems to sputter and hesitate. The whole engine shakes. I've changed air filter.oil,oil filter, throttle cable oil/air cooler,and carburetor and still no luck. I was wondering, could it be the fuel pump. Should I invest in an electric fuel pump? I'm just not sure. It starts fine and revs while in neutral. Any advice would be great. Thank you

I have the same problem with a Buck 400 since it was new.  I rarely need any such speed, so I have ignored it. I would like any suggestions.

I thought and read about the seatbelt thing, I tried no luck. The red light is about two wheel/four wheel. I think it might be The fuel  pump. I have something similar to this. I was thinking changing to a micro electric pump. Any advise would be greatly appreciated

You could try a fuel pump as long as it would pump enough volume for what you need. And remember most electric fuel pumps like to push not pull. So the pump would need to be close to the tank. I replaced a fuel pump on a Kohler 18hp lawn mower with a cheap electric one and it has worked fine.  But that was 1994 lawn mower not a side by side. Also if the pump supplys more gas than the machine uses there needs some place for extra gas to go so it doesn't flood the engine. 

 

Look up the specs on what the max speed SHOULD be in LOW and HIGH vs what you actually get in LOW and HIGH. A sensor could think the machine is in low when actually in high and not letting it go any faster.

 

Is it the same speed on level ground vs an incline? 

 

Really acts and sounds like a sensor or something limiting the speed. But I have been wrong before.

 

Someone more knowledgeable on the engines may be able to help.

 

Hope you get it fixed and post your fix

Put a forked prybar or flat screw driver behind the bolt. Apply a little outward pressure as you loosen the bolt. Hopefully it's just the bolt and not the case.

 

After bolts are out. Maybe a thread chaser or maybe have to tap new threads a size bigger.

Maybe take the door off and side skirt off that side to make things a little easier to get to.

 

Maybe a magnetic hex bit.

 

Use extensions. I had to use about 3 ft of extensions to get the case off my cfmoto. The cvt case was being the gas tank. Had to take off wheel to get the tank out of the way.

 

Just take your time. You'll get it. I have faith in your abilities.

You said you bought it used. 

Maybe the previous owner did some kinda bypass on the seat belt safety wire.

 

Check to see if there is any kind of wires going to the drivers side seat belt clip that tell the machine if you have uour seat belt on or not.

 

Possible if the previous owner did rig something, it might have came loose on one of your rides.

 

Just grasping at straws.

Update, I'm in the midst of changing the clutch. I bought replacement parts. I noticed they included a one way bearing, but when I took off the old, there was no bearing. Do I put the new one on. I have an '08  Massimo 700. Technically, isssss it suppose to have one? Thank you

One way bearing will slow down the machine when letting off the gas. To help hold back the machine when going down hills and such.

 

I don't know if itbis supposed to have the one way bearing or not. It can help save brake pads. Kinda of a personal preference. 

 

You could go to alpha-sports or another site to see if their parts list shows a one-way bearing. Or in a repair manual to see what it says.

 

When the engine turns. The clutch grips the clutch drum and the bearing free spins basically. When you let off gas. The one way bearing kinda grabs and doesn't let the clutch drum spin freely. Causing it to grab forcing the engine to spin. The compression of the engine causes the machine to slow down. Not technical but this is how the bearing works. Sort of. The only way I know to explain it.

 

Again a personal preference. If you don't want the machine to hold itself back when letting off gas. Don't put it in. If you want the machine to hold back a little, install.

 

Either way, will not hurt top speed. Unless you install backwards.

      HOWTO- Code Scanner & Read Engine Parameters
      By aefron88
      This post will explain how to hook up your PC to the ECU of a Hisun/Coleman/Etc UTV to be able to read error codes & engine parameters for troubleshooting purposes.
      This is applicable to all small engines using the Delphi MT-05 ECU. This should cover all fuel injected Hisun models, as well as various other Chinese FI engines, as the Delphi MT-05 ECU seems to be the favored ECU solution.
      Even though we get actual engine error codes to display on the dash, sometimes we have “pending codes” (not yet confirmed by the ECU) or other intermittent issues that are hard to diagnose, for example a poorly connected sensor that may give intermittent false readings, or a sensor that’s putting out bad date, but not bad enough for the ECU to realize.
      The setup requires 2 cables, which are available for around $25 combined, a PC with a USB port, and some charityware software called “HUD ECU Hacker”. This gives the same functionality as the $300 dealer code scanner for a fraction of the price.
      In searching I found info about HUD ECU Hacker, but I have yet to see info anywhere about how to hook it up to a Hisun, so I took the leap and bought some cables, and made it work. I will show a step by step of how to do so in post two.
      I will be breaking this down into 2 posts:
      Delphi ECU Info & Overview (This post) System setup & use Delphi ECU Info (Skip ahead to the next post if your eyes glaze over technical details)
      The Delphi MT-05 ECU was developed to allow small engines to use fuel injection. A fuel injection system requires feedback from various sensors to operate efficiently. This feedback allows the adjustment of ignition timing, fuel injection volume, etc to efficiently and cleanly produce the most power possible from a given engine.
      The MT-05 ECU has a number of sensors that are required for proper functioning including; Coolant temp, crankshaft position, intake temp, intake pressure, exhaust O2, throttle position, as well as some other optional sensors that are used on more complex vehicles.
      From the sensors the ECU adjusts: Fuel injector timing/pulse, Idle air control valve, and ignition coil

      The Delphi MT-05 puts out diagnostic data, however it is not ODB2 like a modern car, where is where it gets tricky reading it. There are three options, there is an old 16 bit piece of software Delphi has that is not able to run on a modern computer, there is the motorscanner tool for dealers ($300), or there is freeware HUD ECU Hacker with the proper cables.

      Want a new work UTV; who and what should I look for?
      By FTG-05
      I want to ditch my Kubota RTV-XG850 and its moronic twitchy throttle design flaw, get rid of the problematic engine and the 40 mph purposely throttled speed.
      So far, I'm looking at the Honda Pioneer 1000 and the Polaris Ranger 1000, both of which have 1000-1500 lb payload bed capacity.
      What other makes and models should I be looking at?
       
      Thanks for the help!

      XY 600 GKE Replacement Engine options
      By SSgt1994
      Hello everyone, second time posted looking for assistance. First time you all were a great help!
      I have an 2013 XY Powersports 600GKE UTV, sweet little machine when she was running. My youngest last fall get it covered in mud, and then blew the engine. I mean she doesn't start any more, and we've even tried rebuilding it since he's in a Vocational School for Power Sports and Diesel course, but no luck.
      One of the other members (NVM"something") was really knowledgeable about the machine I had and the engine, all I can tell you is its a CFMoto. If I can't find a replacement, does anyone know if there is one that it can be easily swapped out with, or even minor modifications.
       
      Thanks!
      Myron

      2021 Massimo MSU 800 will not run above 20 MPH
      By SteveS
      While driving the MSU 800, it runs good but it lately it will not go over 20 MPH. The side by side will hesitate when it reaches 21 MPH, but it will run good under 20 MPH. What is the issue?
