Why is the coolant in my Kawasaki MULE not working?

Its probably the head gaskets. When you do the compression test its not running and the holes in the gasket could seal up.

On the top of the intake manifold, there is a 10mm bolt, usually black in color (or green). Take it out. Remove radiator cap and fill cap under the seat.

What should I do if my Kawasaki MULE is overheating?

To solve this you have to run the Mule until it gets warm and then park it on a hill with the nose up in the air. Let it cool completly down then check your coolant level on level ground. 9 out of ten times that will solve the problem. Otherwise it is a stuck thermostat.

Use Prestone full strength and mix it with natural spring water. Less likely for it to rust… IMO any coolant will work just fine, mixed 50/50, your water pump/radiator/thermostat/fan should keep it cool enough. dasa impeller and water wetter in my teryx, more important than any additive!
