I am going crazy trying to figure this one out. Recently snorkeled 700efi is overheating but I am inclined to think that the problem is not related to the snorkeling. My fan is no longer coming on. I checked the fuse and also the diode marked fan in the fuse box and found both to be OK. I checked the fan to make sure that it is working under normal conditions so I powered it directly from a battery and it works fine. I checked the continuity of the sensor and it works as well. Hooking a positive from an outside battery source to it. Once the temp got high enough the fan came on. I downloaded the wiring diagram from the forum and it indicates a diode in-line with the ground. Does anyone have experience with this?

So just to follow up on what I did as a short-cut which could be a life-saver in the field. The cooling fan runs through a power supply that terminates in a white and black, and red and black wire behind the radiator, and attached to the left side frame, above the front/left tire. The harness then travels bi-directionally, passing through the sensor which is located on the lower left side of the radiator. This sensor was bad in my case. I didn't have a replacement in the field so I simply unplugged the sensors power supply, unplugged the fan from the sensor harness, and plugged the fan directly into the power supply for the cooling system. This got me the nearly 20 miles I needed to get me out of the woods and will work until I receive a new sensor. The fan now runs as long as the key switch is turned on. No overheating problems since I did this. :biggrin:

      2023 Hisun Axis 700 fuel problem
      By ButchM
      Hisun 700 EFI. Replaced TMAP sensor had broken off . Fuel pump pressure 41psi. The only way I can keep it running (and runs fine) is to close off fuel return line.

      By dkgg5755
      This thing came with a cheap aftermarket carb on it the problem I'm having is it won't start with choke installed into carburetor it will start and get run without it installed then bogs out after about 2 min run time I've checked timing , compression, checked valves for proper clearance , also did a smoke test for air leaks found none.

      Can Am Commander Overheating Issue Solved
      By BruinBeater
      Got asked to take a look at a 2014 Can Am Commander 1000 for an overheating issue.  Owner says he's been having issues for awhile.  Had another guy put a new electric fan on it and its still overheating.
      I take it for a test drive.  1 mile on asphalt and temp gauge is pegged and machine is telling me its overheating.
      Looking at it in the garage and I see, it low on coolant.  As in, the overflow tank is empty.  Can't see it in the radiator.  Not sure how far down it is.
      Took out the seat, and center console. I see coolant on top of both cylinders.  Its leaking a tiny bit from each coolant outlet on top of the cylinders.  They are plastic with a metal bleeder screw.  Both leaking from the bleeder screw.  Tried to tighten them but I can tell they are stripped out.
      Bought some aftermarket coolant outlets from Quad Logic.  They came with a new bleeder screw and crush washer for the screw.  They did not come with a new gasket.  
      Bought a new OEM thermostat.  Did it really need one?  I'm not sure, I didn't bother to test it.  Its not a cheap part but not terribly expensive either.  These commanders are a pain to bleed all the air out of the cooling system, I only wanted to do it once.
      Remove the plastic screen from the firewall so I can access the thermostat.  Cut all the old hose clamps off (OEM Crimps) Replace the T-stat.  Install new hose clamps.  Install new coolant outlets on top of both cylinders. 
      Now its time to bleed the system.  I have a "NO SPILL FUNNEL"  Remove the radiator cap and attach this in its place.  Fill the funnel up about half way and let it sit for awhile with the bleed screws open.  Once I see fluid out the bleeders, I close them.  Squeeze the hoses a bit and watch the air bubble come up into the funnel.  Once the system is full, I drive it to a hill in the yard and put 1 car ramp in the middle of the hill.  I drive up the car ramp with the left/drivers side tire.  This puts the radiator cap up nice and high.  Let the engine run for as long as it takes to get the air out.  I keep the full at least 1/3 full.  I rev the engine to 4K rpm.  I jump out and squeeze the upper rad hose, the lower rad hose, and both lines to the cab heater (aftermaket) I keep doing this till I no longer see air.  I also crack the bleed screws loose on top of the heads during this time.  The fan cycled on and off multiple times. It took approximately 45 minutes till no more bubbles were coming up into the funnel.
      Remove the no spill funnel and top off the recovery tank with the coolant trapped in the funnel.  Took it for test run up the road and hit a little trail.  Outside air temp was 92F and 90% + humidity.  Machine never came close to overheating on the ride.

      Another electrical problem, really??
      By shorty
      So now this "new to me" Kowhockey has ANOTHER problem. Replacing the rectifier cured the charging problem, rode around for a while, Yahoo!.. but this morning it wouldn't start, hmm 🤔 checking for spark, nuttin.. CDI igniter module bad. It's not the coil because when the key is turned off the spark knocks me down. Glad I got this old quad cheap because I'm replacing lots of electrical parts. Also found 3 blown fuses in the toolkit. 😭
