Actually on mine, the driven converter has always spun at idle, even several years ago with the Original Kawasaki belt. But i definitely noticed better idleing, and another shifting with the gates belt. compared to the dayco.

$20 on Amazon or Ebay, it was well worth it.

Hi Roger, I went out To the barn and got the original Carburetor that took off the mule,,I was able to get that limiter cap off. A screw driver and hammer. It has a funny looking head under it, you can use pliers to turn it.

Put a small amount (tablespoon or so) of gas down the Spark plug hole, reinstall the plug and wire, if it fires then dies, fuel system problem, sometimes fuel lines come apart on the inside and clog things up. Then spray some gas into the carb via the air intake, if it sputters or backfires, you may have a valve problem. If it doesn't fire off, there should be a black kill wire going to the coil. un plug it, then try to start it, if starts. The wire is shorting and grounding the coil.

The dayco number is HP2023, my experience with it was not good. The belt was too tight for the CVT to operate as designed.... It would roll forward when in the forward gear, and roll back when in reverse at idle. even grinding the gears some. I installed a Gates 6013 sportline, works perfectly now!

Those plastic limiter caps sometimes pop off with a screwdriver, or you can file the ears down that stop it, and some people use a dremel and put a flat slot in it for a screw driver. I have mine set I think 2.5 turns out..... The manual says to turn it out where the engine idles the highest, then adjust the screw on the throttle butterfly to idle.

👍👍👍👍👍

How's the Mule doing, Roger?

Wow, I went to their website again, at the bottom they have this posted. ODES® IS THE MANUFACTURER AND ONLY SELLS TO DEALERS AND SERVICE CENTERS AND DOES NOT SELL TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC.

Were both intake springs easy to push?

the Ode's dealer won't help you?

Welcome to the UTV board, Mark! Enjoy your new ride!

I'd say keep doing what your doing, following the manual is good. Just get that break in oil changed when it says, and no later.

Could be worn piston rings or a bad valve seal.

I thought that too, at first, but I looked at the parts breakdowns and it shows the bigger alternator and mounting brackets in the "optional" parts list .

Kawasaki makes parts to where you can add a belt driven alternator, either in place of or replacing the stator behind the flywheel...

Yep, that does make sense! Glad you got her going again, take care!

On my black ring, with the red mark, the red mark, and the "R" is On the right.

Looks great!! Winches come in handy!!

Wooo Hooooo!!!!!!! glad you got it going Roger! The ring orientation was difficult for me when I did mine, I just had to keep looking at them for about 3 days and the "Bingo!" Light came on. Kawasaki could have made it easier to identify them.

https://odesindustries.com/find-a-dealer/ If there is a dealer nearby they should be able to get parts for you.

I honestly cant remember... do you still have the rings from the piston? there is ring that is supposed to have a slight bevel to it.... thats the 2nd ring. i have an extra set im looking at.... it looks to me like the ring with the shiny edge is the 2nd one, i can see a slight bevel to its edge... the black ring ring goes on top with the red mark on the right hand side of the gap.

Got to thinking, you might look into a Marine/boat Deep cycle battery... I don't know if that would be feasible or not.
