What was the problem with my 02 550 mule?

Had the same problem with my 02 550 mule. Just a click but couldn’t get the engine to turn over. Sometimes it would start cold and after riding a while, if you shut it off…..click, click, click. Sometimes it wouldn’t start cold but if you waited a while, it would start.

Why does my Kawasaki MULE have no power?

I noticed a few times that the fuse holder was very warm but I don’t believe Kawasaki would have made such a mistake. 5 days ago, after having to tow the mule to my shop, I decided that I was going to find that problem. I started checking power at the battery and moved toward the switch. I found that I had no power at the fuse holder.

Can a solenoid be replaced on a mule 550?

I would say replace the solenoid, they are $30 or so on eBay and easy to install, but I had the same problem on my Mule 550 gas and a new solenoid did not fix the problem. I posted a similar question yesterday, but have not received any replies.

What’s the weirdest thing about a kawaskai mule?

Sometimes it would start cold and after riding a while, if you shut it off…..click, click, click. Sometimes it wouldn’t start cold but if you waited a while, it would start. Weirdest of all…..sometimes if you held the key in start position, after about 4 seconds it would start.

How does the solenoid work on a mule 550?

Now with a new aftermarket solenoid, it does the exact same thing. If you keep operating the key switch, the starter will finally spin and start the engine. Anytime you activate the solenoid you can always jump the terminals on the solenoid and start the engine.

When to stop adjusting the carburetor on a Kawasaki MULE?

Stop adjusting when the engine idles at a speed somewhere between 850 and 950 RPM. There are two brass mixture screws located at the top of the carburetor, one for each cylinder of the engine. Give them a few turns and return them to their original position to keep them from corroding in place.

Why does my Kawasaki Mule Stall at idle?

Kawasaki Mules are all-terrain vehicles with four-wheel-drive. They are used by farmers and hunters to haul equipment and work gear to remote locations in farms and fields. Sometimes the factory settings put the idle at too high of a speed for the engine to handle, which causes the engine to stall and the gears to grind when they are shifted.
