Help Please!
Last year my Mule started running bad and was hard to start. NOT a battery or starter problem. I replace the carb with one of those cheap Chinese carbs from Amazon. Problem got worse. So, I replaced the fuel pump, one from Kawasaki, fuel filter and lines. Then replaced the fuel pump line to the engine. Finally bought a Kawasaki carb. Everything was ok till I filled the gas tank with fresh gas then it started running bad and hard to start again. The tank is clean. Gas is fresh, AGAIN. Filter is new. When running it has an occasional misfire. Managed to burn about a gallon out of the tank. Runs better. Replaced the gas cap in case it wasn't venting. No change. When running, if you try to go full throttle, it bogs down. The gas is good. I use it in my mower with no problem. The stater was replaced about one year ago and the flywheel cleaned inside. Still seams like a fuel problem but I'm at a loss. It's going back to the mechanic shop today. We use the Mule every day, live on a farm. It's never sat up. It has 1045hrs on it. New battery and starter.
Any ideas?
New to me , '04 with 2,438 hours. 286cc air cooled single cylinder. Anyone have them? I've seen set both at 005, 010, 012, 015, intake 012 and exhaust at 015. lol
So I'm interested in a side by side of some sort.
Not sure what make/model to even look at.
I would plan on riding on trails with very rough rocky terrain and plenty of mud. Maybe sand once in a long while. I like LOTS of power and drive fast, but also like a trail that is a challenge to get through. I think 4x4 would be a must. I like the idea of a supercharged engine, but I have never owned one, and would be a little concerned about long term reliability or expensive difficult engine repairs. If anyone knows quads, my favorite was the 2008 Polaris Outlaw 525 IRS. For dirt bikes, I raced a 2008 KTM 450 SX-F. So that gives you an idea of what type of off road stuff I liked.
I don't like "utility quads" or "trail bikes". And likewise, I dont want a turd UTV. I want something that looks awesome and performs awesome. 2 seater with some cargo capacity at the minimum.
