Hello all,

I have a brand new mule 610 4x4 and I am having a terrible time with it. It has 2 hours on it. And will not go anywhere. : ( I can’t just take it to get serviced since I live in rural Alaska and getting to the service department is 2 plane rides away.

I had a friend work on it and he changed the spark plug and adjusted the idle. He let it run for about 30 minutes and then took it down the road to the dump and back. We thought all was well. The next day I started it and let it warm up a while, loaded it up with boxes for the post office, didn’t even make it to the road. It will start and idle for a while, but if you put into gear and step on the gas it will either sputter and die or backfire and die.

My friends have looked at all the fuel lines to check them and taken out the carburetor and inspected it and could not find anything that would be preventing it from running.

Can anyone offer up any ideas on what else to check?

Thanks and have a great day!
Joy
