The belt was replace along with front clutch spring, weight rollers, and inner clutch springs. This did NOT help the problem. Just heard the shaft broke inside the engine which drives the clutch. This is going to take a while to fix, with a great cost IM SURE. Good Luck with your Rhino.... John, the same thing happend to mine.

Has everybody had to do this, or are they trying to pull a fast one on me? Any info would be of great help.

Yesterday I was watching my nephews driving through some grass and when they stopped I saw an orange fireball generate just behind the seats under the bed. They were absolutely oblivious to it and fortunately started driving back to me. I signaled them to drive right to the barn and was prepared wih a bucket of water. No damage caused this time but fire extinguisher is being installed immediately. It was not the muffler but what I would describe as "clutch plate" that rotates, gets very hot, and ignites grass that has been caught in a triangular pan that is right in front and under this rotating plate. Fortunately when you are driving at speed it stays embers. The problem is when you stop and flames erupt. Sorry this is so long but watch this and it will save you aggravation and money.

Only thing I have heard of that helps is to run a snorkel for the intake to the front of the beast. #12 Your fuel pump is toast. Had the same issues on a new 2007. Depending on where you go for service, they MIGHT replace it. I am in arizona and have to deal with Ride Now Motorsports. They just bought out Tucson Motorsports and a few in Phoenix, and, because of the Sh@t poor service dept, nothing ever gets fixed. Hope they change their tune fast. Too many people tired of getting ripped off. #9 Mine is VERY noisy also. Only thing I have heard of that helps is to run a snorkel for the intake to the front of the beast.

I also have a 2004, and have nothing but trouble starting the vehicle at any temp.. It even shuts off at high speed. Dealer claims my problems are unique, but I have to believe it is a chronic problem. I wouldn't recommend the Rhino to my worst enemy! Re: Tom W’s cold starting woes.
