2005 Mule 610 Ignition Problem


Guest

Recommended Posts

Greetings - Have 2005 Mule 610 that will no longer start. Had previous ignition problem where mule would not turn off. Found broken wire on coil and replaced coil with new one. Also cleaned the carburetor and jets, cleaned the rotor and stator and reset the valves all per specs in the shop manual. Starter motor is also as new. Compression is 85psi..seems perfect. After all this, I did get the mule to start up once or twice after putting gas in the sparkplug hole. New plug also...now nothing happens except the occasional backfire. Checked regulator etc. all check OK, all new relays, fuel and pump are good...at a loss as what to do next. Kawasaki in Panama is worthless...better to try myself. Any advice on what I'm doing wrong or where to start over. Ran fine before, not now. Thanks, Thijs

Greetings Data 89. If the 600 model has a similar coil/magnet unit which sits above the rotor plate...it should have a wire going to the spark plug and a small (black) wire going to ignition ground. If that wire is broken, the ground will not turn off the ignition. Thijs, 6862-8400.

Thanks tnvans;

We went at it yesterday afternoon. Made sure the ignition sw was good. Traced the wire from ignition to the coil. I disconnected the wire from the coil and tested it to ground and the wire from ignition to ground and both were grounded. But to get at the coil is a job and a half. Did you get your coil in Panama? I don't see any other way to interrupt the circuit with a sw to bypass the problem either. Kawasaki.com has parts diagrams but no wiring diagrams, though it's a pretty simple circuit and it would seem like the coil must be the problem.

Regarding your starting problem. I have an 2005 Arctic Cat with a Kawasaki engine. All of a sudden, once, it wouldn't start. There was a clear vent hose coming up from the engine that lies just under my removable storage box (where I would be able to change the air filter), and mud wasps had packed it full. I cleaned that out and everything was good. But I have to keep an eye on it. With all the plastic on this ATV I never followed the hose to it's source, so I don't know where it went. From what I could see, it looked like it went to the carb. On the Mule, I see a lot of vent hoses, maybe one of them on yours is closed off? Or your fuel pump isn't working.

      2020 Massimo Buck 400 - Won't start. Can hear the starter spinning, but motor never turns. Relay? Starter? Worked fine one day and not the next. Thanks for any help you can provide.

      Hey guys! My name is Bryan and i am the owner and creator of Safe Sled. Not some crazy corporate backed recovery product, but just some guy with an idea. 
       
      4 years ago, I suffered 11 strokes, and am now 50% paralyzed on the left side of my body. I am unable to work a normal job anymore. I was working on the sled 2 years before this all unraveled. My wife told me to keep working on it since i was pissing her off staying home and doing nothing.
      I still plan on improving and implementing different ideas as the product’s revenue continues to grow.

      2016, Hisun 500 turns over great but Spark plug is firing when I turn the ignition key on. I’ve got good fuel pressure to the injector. Pulled plug out and it is wet with. gasoline. Air filter is clean. Turns over great just does not even try to pop or start.. I’ve checked off uses and they are good when I turn the key on I’m getting power to the injector.. I’m not hearing the injector pulsing, but may just be my hearing.. With the spark plug getting wet with gas I feel like the injector is pulsing and spraying. Any suggestions would be great. I don’t know the hours on the unit offhand, but it has 600 miles on it. Thank you for your comments and advanced.

      We just bought a used 2017 American Landmaster TW450. No hour meter that I can find, so not sure exactly how much it has been used. 
      The first 2 days we had it, the starter was a little sketchy, but it started after 2-3 tries. Sometimes when turning the key, we would hear a loud metal "clink" sound. Like the starter made contact, but didn't have enough power to turn. 
      THIS MORNING... Turning the key, we hear a single click sound. That's it. Even with a new battery, the starter is still doing the same thing. Both batteries (old and new) were reading 12.8 volts on volt meter. So I'm wondering what else could be going on? Any ideas on what to look for would be greatly appreciated...
      Thank you!
