I'm a new member, and want /need to pick someone's brain here.

this mule was not running very well. Idling rough and appeared to be flooding.

After reading as much as I could, I decided to buy and install a new throttle body. I installed the new throttle body today and it runs good up the road, but I can't get the thing to idle. 

when first cranked, the engine goes to wide open even though the throttle is in the rest mode.

It never did this with the old throttle body. 

Is a new throttle body plug and play, or does it need to be programmed ?, Or, is there something wrong with this new throttle body ?

Any in site to my problem  is greatly appreciated

Welcome!!

 

I don't know much about the 4010, but the next best step is to get a Service manual. They're worth their weight in gold. here's 2,

Welcome to the forum!

Travis is absolutely correct about the manual. And as to your problem, it's possibly a sensor issue. Specifically, what would be a throttle position sensor. Although I have no idea what it's called on the mule. But it tells the throttle body how much gas, and air it needs. 

I say possibly, because it could easily be a combination of problems causing the issue. Or a wiring problem. Since i'm assuming that it's likely CPU controlled, you'll need to find the trouble codes.

Mine was doing the same thing and I pulled the fuel pump and below it was a gummed up fuel filter.  Changing it out corrected the problem.  It now runs and idles fine.  I bought a bunch of filters off amazon but understand there is a larger aftermarket filter available.  Anyone know where to get it?

      I have a Coleman Outfitter 550 purchased in January 2022 that runs and operates pretty well.  65 hours on it so far.   It is a work vehicle for my 10 hilly acres with two 1 acre woods and 5 acres of "lawn".  The rest is under a lake. 
      My parking brake does not seem to have any grip.  It worked when new but after a month or so, it is just almost useless.     I press the parking brake pedal hard until it stops. Still, it won't hold even on slight inclines.   I don't see the caliper move as I press the brake pedal down.  There seems to be plenty of pad left on it and the rotor is shiny as if it is rubbing a little when applied, but not enough to stop it from rolling. 
      Any thoughts on possible causes?

      2010 500 - New Carb- Hesitation
      By Buddee
      Put a new carb on the 500 to replace the leaking OE one.  Machine idles fine and mid and top end runs great.  It tends to have a hesitation right from the start - bottom end.   Thinking it may be the air/fuel screw??  I didn't do anything with the carb out of the box and is it direct replacement for my machine.  Of interest is the manual choke doesn't seem to work very good now.... wonder is it getting too much air?
       
      Any help appreciated!
