QLink 700cc
Similar version sold under the "Discovery" name. Approx 700cc, Electronic 4 wheel drive, adjustable shocks, winch, digital dash, you name it, this thing has all the bells and whistles. Mine has 70 miles on it. Here product information:

The engine was overheating, and the previous owner took it to the place of purchase. The invoice said they replaced the coolant reservoir (I suspect this was the cause of the overheating) and head gaskets and cylinder. He brought it home and didn't ride it and when he did it was still overheating. I took it for a spin and it drove perfect for 15 minutes then it ran hot. It had milky oil and coolant. I suspect the shop did not fix this bike correctly the first time. I ordered a new cylinder base and head gasket and I will be thoroughly inspecting the head and entire cooling system for other issues. I have no idea how tight to torque the head back down during reassembly. Does anyone have any info on these bikes??? They seem pretty well built from looking at the undercarriage.

depends on how/where your water pump is connected. mine shared a tranny gear and was separated from the water side by an O-Ring. i would hope and pray you didn't have a cracked head water jacket leak. i hope it's something simple for you. . i've just had horrible luck with a water cooled quad. so i rid myself of that problem.

The whole cooling system is trashed. There is yellow muck pouring out of every orifice. I'm putting a new water pump of it. It has an o-ring seal for external oil leaks, and a stamped gasket for external water leaks. I cannot see the internal oil/water seal with the impeller on. It is driven off the crank.

I took the water pump completely apart. There is water/oil muck on each side of the shaft seals (2) but when pulled apart the center of the pump looks clean. It really appears that the pump seal is intact. There is a small section in the pump housing that is protected on both ends by seals. If one would have failed then it should have goo all the way through it. Weep hole was free from debris also. I'm starting to get stumped as I've seen no obvious problems.
