Hi All,
Twice I have stopped my engine (It doesn't die, I turned the ignition off) on my 2016 CFORCE 500 HO and it will not start back up while cranking it over. I will let it sit for a half a minute and try it again and then all of the sudden it starts and blows a lot of smoke and smells really gassy rich. Obviously it is getting gas but no spark. I have had a lot of issues with this unit and wish I had never bought it. I can't trust it on the trail anymore. What a waste of good money! I only have 300 miles on it.
Thanks
Kevin

I have wrote about this problem and how to fix it.
It is well known on the new 500 ho engine. 191R ECU and wire harness.

Is this a TSB or a field fix? I read your response to engine wont start after riding awhile. Did you post another article on this?
Thanks
Kevin
PS I thought it was "If it has tits or wheels..."

This might be the decompressor TSB for the pin that hangs up the fly weights.

This was a field fix, it is being tried for worthiness.
It has stopped this problem in about 98% of the units tried in.
The other 2% have recived a jumper switch at the 5amp ecu fuse

There is a TSB out for this problem , but I'm not sure if it has hit USA yet, But I did discuss this problem personally with the USA rep at the factory

Here is a photo of the jumper cable to fix this problem, I'll add another tomorrow, better show of it

Basically you need to attach 1 end to the battery + and the other to the power on the fuel pump relay. Removing the old power line.

Hi Wheels,
Thanks for your help. USA rep you talked to about this problem meaning Jason McDonald? I will have to forward this info to the servicing dealer.
Thanks again
Kevin

I deal with MrJoe. Yuech or somthing like that.(last name)
I'd have to look it up on my email.

Hi Wheels,
I have my 2016 Cforce 500 HO at Evolution Powersports in Watertown South Dakota. I do not think they are getting any help with this harness information from the CFMOTO Technical Team that resides in Plymouth MN that I am aware of. Is there anyway you can pass some information onto the CFMOTO Technical Team in Plymouth Minnesota, USA so I can get my ATV back soon?
