I have a diesel mule that i bought new and love it. it isnt used very hard, it is at deer camp and used for light work and hunting. i only have about 70 hours and 200 miles on it. I took it in for service about 8 months ago. I beleive they changed oil and cleaned filters and greased it. They said no valve adjustment was needed or will be needed for a long time. The price was 250 dollars.

My question is can i just do this myself and save some money. is there anything special that they do that i coudnt. How do you guys clean the filters? at how many hours do you adjust the valves? how often do you change your oil. do you use the oil from kawasaki. any hidden grease fittings that are tought to find? or anything else i need to know or do?
Thanks in advance ]]> Kawasaki ATV and Mule grizzly2c http://www.kawasakimotorcycle.org/forum/kawasaki-atv-mule/121000-2008-deisel-trans-mule-service.html http://www.kawasakimotorcycle.org/forum/kawasaki-atv-mule/120995-carb-problems.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:40:24 GMT Have a 2004 mule 550 and the carb is acting up.

I'm new here and am going to buy a Mule4010 and will need some accessories.

Where can I find a good price on a speedometer?

Where can I find a good price on a windshield? Should I get one that lifts up or folds up so I can get to the storage area?

What lift kit should I get?

Any help would be appreciated.

I have an 88 Kawasaki Bayou 185 that starts up after a couple of pulls on the pull start with starter fluid and idles, but when you push on the throttle it revs a little and if you hold the trottle it doesn't rev high. If you put it into gear and push the throttle it rides really slow and some times the rpm will go up and down. Would a bad battery cause this problem? It ran but rough when I bought it. The person I bought it from said he had the cam chain changed and rebuild the carburetor. The old plug was wrong and covered with black sut so I changed it to the correct plug and the air filter was a home made one so I bought a new one.

Please help.

Recently purchased 07' and 06' 610s. 95 and 195 hours.
I would like to do general service, oil, transfer cases for front and rear.
Do I have to use Kawawski oil or can use other brands, which is best?
What is the capacities of the engine and transfer cases?

Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Where do I place the sticker? I prefer not to put it on any painted surface and the local DMV were not at all sure where it should go. I'm thinking the roll cage as it is powder coated or the front fender as it is crinkle/plastic. Maybe I should just carry it in the glove box until I get stopped and then get THE official directions??????

Really not sure if it is gas or oil fouling the plug. the machine has probably never been maintained over the years with respect to fresh fuel or had fuel stabilizer added throughout the year. it is mainly a deer season machine used a couple of weeks per year. i have read the threads on the crap carburator with respect to the petcock needing a rebuild and the float/needle valve problems leading to gasoline pouring out.

ATV will not idle. Runs fine at speed with 1/4-1/2 choke but will not idle. I've filled the tank and added Seafoam at 1 oz. per gallon. If no improvement is noticed after a tank or two I plan to visit the local stealer. Any/all suggestions are welcomed.

Starts intermittantly. Put a new starter relay on it but didn't fix the problem. Can jump the battery directly to the starter and it turns over so not the starter. Took the Regulator/Rectifier off and cleaned connectors with a electrical terminal cleaner (just sprayed them). Then took off the IC ignitor Terminal cables and cleaned those connectors with the spray and it started perfectly for about 1 hour. Did some work on the rear brake and just for kicks tried to start again and now it's back to starting intermittantly. Any ideas what it might be or how to determine what the problem is. Did have another problem but think it has been overcome but who knows, it might be a part of the pieces of the problem. When I started it a couple of times I had a slow blow on the 30Amp fuse. I think it was ground wire problem that may be fixed since I started it a few times after unhooking a ground that seemed faulty and the fuse did not blow. Just mentioning in case that also tells someone what may be the problem.

Adjusted valve clearance. Only minor adjustment, but no change in performance. Ran some Sea foam through carb. intake..helped slightly. Plugs are black with carbon. Ran pilot screw in and out but didn't help the stumbling problem. If I feather the manual choke, can get it to respond. This thing has good power if you can feather it past the stumbling.

anyways...ran the thing out of fuel yesterday. I've done this is the past, and we've filled it up..pumped and primed the fuel pump, start it up...let it run for awhile...and we'd be good.

Well...today, I put fuel in it...and I can't get it to prime. I'm pumping the pump manually, with the bleed screw out...and getting no fuel.

any ideas what I am doing wrong?
