these are the codes decoded. There should be one more digit after the C

You are very welcome. if you have any problems with your Mule, I have a shop manual for the 500,520 and 550 with troubleshooting,adjustments, and service intervals. Along with other specifications.

This engine has a ignition coil on the flywheel, no points.

Look up Powersports mega mall, or Pacific eagle UTV. They also have a discount for members of this forum. On their specials page.

@Mulepatrick. If you need any sort of info at all I have my 550 owners manual, 550 shop manual, and the engine shop manual, so do not hesitate to ask for anything my friend.

Hahahaha!! That's hilarious,Will!

This first pic is the general instruction. And use The FE290 setting which is Counter clockwise. And the last 2 go together.

Very possible. I have a full service manual for the engine, I'll post some pics with the procedure for adjusting the governor

This says for the 550, but that part is universal in the Mule 500 series. https://www.ebay.com/itm/2004-Kawasaki-Mule-550-Battery-Cover-BD3/303060331493?epid=1123113918&hash=item468fcdabe5:g:TKUAAOSwsIFcY0Fj

Towards the carb. and if you want i have NO PROBLEM at ALL taking my carb off if you aren't sure of the order of the gaskets.

Okay. If I am not mistaken there is 1 or 2 gaskets that have a small hole in the corner of them that match up with corresponding holes in the carburetor. But I may be totally wrong it's been almost a year since I put the carb on mine.

It could be sucking air from somewhere, or not getting good fuel flow enough to accelerate. Did you put new gaskets with the carb? I would also add be sure your choke is fully opening and closing.

Here is the coil ground wire. Unplug it right there. Black wire It's next to th oil fill cap

Toss some gas or spray some carb cleaner/starting fluid down the carb throat. spray it where the duct from the air filter goes to the carb. Then try to start it. if it does fuel is not making it to through the new carb. next take out the spark plug and spray some carb cleaner or pour a small amount of gas down the hole, put the plug back in. And turn it over. if none of these give any results lift the bed and unplug the coil ground wire, it's right behind the governor linkage. Then try to start it. if you want I can upload you some troubleshooting pages from my shop manual to look at. Next you might try to unhook the fuel line coming from the pump, to the carb, turn the engine over and gas should shoot out of the pump. one of the least likely options would be to pull the valve cover and be sure the valves are operating correctly/not out of time. thats a last last resort.

There is a member on here, Casey Ye , I think is their name... Or close to that. They sell Joyner parts.

Of you aren't concerned with looks, use some of that exhaust Heat wrap. I have never used it personally, but have heard it works very well.

I will add I have seen older Kubota utility vehicles for sale and running great with 2000 hours +, the Kubota will probably have more torque since most are diesel, so it could haul more, especially on hills. I don't know a lot about Polaris, but I do know they have the most recalls per 100 vehicles than Kawasaki,Kubota, others.

I wouldn't be comfortable buying one with 700+ hours, mainly since I don't know how regularly maintenance was performed. It really does boil down to how well it was taken care of. If you Are looking at a used unit from an individual look at the color of the oil, don't want it to be dark/grey.

My 550 has the same setup with the pump. that spring and ball is a relief valve. If the oil pressure gets too high it will shoot oil Back into the crankcase. And I'm 99% sure that it's a low oil cutoff, and most generally cut off ignition

It would make perfect sense that it would come standard as a safety feature. Houston and Conroe are growing like a wildfire. People crawling everywhere.

I've looked through all diagrams that show with and have to do with the dash, and didn't see anything. If you want, im going to the local Kawasaki dealership tomorrow to pick up some parts for my mule, if you want i can give the parts guy your mule model and year, and i'll print these pictures and show to him and maybe he can figure out something. **EDIT** I just found a picture of a dash on Mule 2500 and it looks like someone else added that afterwards. It might also be a option at original purchase. and also in the parts diagram, it shows this dash panel, and all the cutouts for the holes and SHIFT lever, but no cutout for where that light goes. You might have to change connectors behind it and wire in a little LED light or something.

where is it located? On the dash?

Not a lot of information out there for sub branded machines. All I can think of is Contact Cub Cadet
