I plan on prepping and coating the bed floor with POR15, supposedly kills and stops rust... It needs it after 20 years.. I thought about water getting under it... I actually cut the mat today and fits perfect all the way around..

I'm thinking about using a black caulk or sealer around the edges. But that would inhibit removal

Right now it stays under a tarp, but a shed for it is in the near future... I

I may come up with a way to use preexisting holes drilled in the bed for load fastening for a quick release though...

would not calk it at all, you would need a way for the water to drain out

travis  do you have a power dump on your bed ? the horse mats are heavy ....  really heavy,  and the mat may retain water and dirt under the mat.  we just paint ours every other year.  and the other thing about the horse mat is stuff will not slide when you dump them.

For the most part, yes and exhaust. At just under 3 bucks for OEM springs I have ordered a new set. 

be careful of the rods they bend very easy, make sure there seated all the way.

I pulled the valve covers off the mule to adjust the valves. They have been tapping loudly. The two exhaust were correct but the 2 intakes were around .023. But the question is this As I was adjusting I found I could easy open the valve by lightly pressing. Should they should be stiffer than that?    

no the spring tension sound about right...

Travis, At that RPM maybe its ok. I just know when it engages its good bump

mine does also  bump when going into gear

the pulleys do wear,  also the 3010's  are no race car off the line .....  the 3010's  were built for work, and work they will do , military used them,

will have to go and see when i use our mule

nope flood the carb and right down the cyl.  ....... got the tee shirt on that one .......

you will not be able to run the mr gasket pump off the fuel relay, i tried and could never get it to supply and that relay is $$$$  as for pressure IRC started off on the 2 setting  think Im running 2lb pressure , I set it by keeping it low and when i was losing power bumped it up a little at a time,  as i said b4 keep checking you oil level , you can wash the cylinders really fast

its not a flooding issue ....... I have hydro locked the motor with that fuel pump

.the mr gasket fuel pump does work great i my self have used them on tractors and my mule ,   couple of dont's do's with that fuel pump, depending on how you have it wired in \, don't let it run while the motor is not running, the float will leak down with constant pressure, the float seat does wear after time and the floats do go bad, use only factory parts for carb rebuild the after market one suck

KEEP CHECKING YOU OIL LEVEL .......... 

 don't touch the governor on these motors, not a good thing .... they go boom easy.....

The rear coil is bad. I hope to pick one up tomorrow. 

 Then it died altogether turned out to be the fuel relay. I’m not sure what it’s suppose to be doing. I jump it out for the moment  

if its still the factory pump  its not the relay it the pump the pumps on these suck really bad its pressure draw system, and the point in the pump wear out all the time

 

as for the fuel pump you will need to do a regulator on it if not you can flood the motor the gas will push past the float,

here is the link to set idle on the mule carb it works ....

rear coil packs are know to go bad on these models,  i have one of the 3010 myself, the carbs are a problem child with the enthol gas mix, i had a float problem that led to washing my cylinders out, had to re-hone and re-ring  the motor, check your compression on both cyl.  also watch out for blockage on the air filter and the frame tube, had a old hornets nest that fell down the tubing and blocked the air filter, the 3010 are good machines but do have there quirks, if your having a idle problem there is a great write up on that, and the 3010 do hate cold weather, 

Pictures please or you didn't buy it ..... LOL

thanks she's a really good hunter also yes i know its poodle but she's really good at rabbits and other small game and the best thing is she's daddy's girl ....lol

We had a great trip to Quartzsite AZ, weather in the 70s the whole time we were there. The "Big Tent" RV show was good too, even tho the conditions became quite dusty at times, mainly from all the AYVs running around there.

On the way up, we went thru some rainy snowy conditions, and when we got to AZ I had quite a bit of cleanup to do on the Mule before riding it. We put on a total of 14 hrs riding time on the mule, some of which was sneaking around the cops there, as ours was not licensed for the hiways like most all the ATV/RTVs are there. And I was told that AZ doesn't even recognize any other state's off road stickers either. So much for our "united" states.

I am now think of getting either a good cover that will withstand hiway speeds, or an enclosed trailer. Besides the dirty road film conditions, I didn't really like the Mule setting out in the rain for most of the trip back either. We'll see.
