Welcome! i looked on Kawasaki's website and they offer 2 winches for your Model and edition Mule you're purchasing, one is a wire rope type, and this type which uses synthetic but appears it's a yet to be released product or out of stock currently. However you may can go past kawasaki and directly to Warn and buy it. MULE PRO - VRX™ 45-S Winch Kit https://www.kawasaki.com/en-us/shop/featured/facebook/99994153745S/mule-pro-vrx-45-s-winch-kit/

Not fun.

Monday and Tuesday.... This ain't Texas weather

I looked through the parts diagram and searched, the closest thing to a speed limiter i could find is the Diesel Engine's governor, and that's there so you won't blow up the engine. i wonder if you may have some other issue where the engine can't get enough fuel to run under the load of going uphill+ what you may be carrying/passengers.

I'm assuming its a wet clutch? are you using the correct viscosity oil and oil rated for a Wet clutch?

What kind of connector does it have on the end of it?

most Golf cart batteries are designed to be capable of discharging up to 80% of their charge, while most deep cycle marine batteries are capable of discharging up to only %50 of their charge. this article may be more helpful, https://www.dixiebattery.com/products/golf-compare

Is the model an RTV 900 or a newer RTV X900? Also, if it has seat belts for safety, try hooking them together as some UTV's limiters only work when the seat belts are not hooked up.

How's it doing?

Sounds like a good plan.

Alright here are the findings. The starter draw was at 66-67 amps. I then hooked it up to my riding mower which also has 9.5hp Kawasaki FC290, and the starter is fairly old on that one, and it drew about 75 amps Now back to the mule, the highest amperage i saw was 74 right when i started it and it drops and levels out and stays at 66 or 67 amps. one thing i noticed, whenever the starter clicked, it would show 1 .08 amps on the meter. and every time it clicked (me turning the key to start) it stayed around 1.08 ,1.05 amps... now seeing as the meter supposedly reads from 60A up, im not sure if the 1 amp reading is a valid measurement. this is measuring on the + cable about 5 inches from the end of the cable

Go with the side by side... I've never seen anyone tow anything with a golf cart. plus parts may be more available in your area for a SxS.

Only the QC pass paper which i am kicking my self in the a$$ for throwing away.......

I did some googling and reading and most small engines in this HP range starters, No load draw average of 40amps and 180 max underload. I'll try to get a hold of arrowhead and see what they spec for this starter.

Oh wow. Didn't think starters pulled that little of amperage. Seemed like most focused on the Max amperage not the minimum

it never hurts to check though.... sometimes i miss the obvious

well apparently that version amp meter i bought only comes in AC now, not DC. so amazon recommended this one to me, supposed to be here tomorrow, 600A ac/dc https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089CKQ3QX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

it's got a brand new solenoid i put on last night, i inspected it all last night, brushes were good.

Wonder if air got or is getting in the injector system, can you crack the lines loose just before the injector and crank it over to bleed?

It's definitely worth a try. If it works, it's a $9 fix, if not, oh well.

I found this video online, basically what mine is doing, several people in the comments said they had the same problem, and 1 person said it was a bad connection, others also said a bad cable. Or High resistance in the starter circuit. https://youtu.be/rXorKGg2TbA

Okay, the starter has very minimal play, i put it in the vice, and set up my dial indicator, zero'd it, and at max it has 2 1/2 Thousandths side to side.

I replaced the flywheel in 2018 when i rebuilt it, so it only has about 300 hours on it.

Solenoid shift. there is a piece that the solenoid clips to, that piece is attached to the starter gear, when the solenoid retracts, that causes the bottom of the piece to move the opposite direction pushing the starter gear outwards.

I'll have to pull the starter and check for how much slack is in it.
