How do I know if my coolant is not working?
One Way Is By Checking Coolant Flow: Verify that the coolant is not flowing. You can check this by looking through the radiator filler neck. The coolant should not be flowing. Consequently, the coolant has not reached a high enough temperature to open the thermostat.
How do I prime my coolant system?
- Step 1 – Mix Water and Antifreeze. Make a mixture of one part water and one part antifreeze.
- Step 2 – Turn On the Engine. Leave the radiator cap off, turn on your engine, and let it run until the radiator bleeds out air.
- Step 3 – Observe the Temperature.
- Step 4 – Refill the Radiator.
- Step 5 – Replace the Radiator Cap.
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. When it gets hot a hole could appear in the gasket or even a crack in the head. Its clear from the rising coolant levels that something is putting pressure into the coolant, do the bubbles in the coolant smell of fuel?
What kind of fan does a Kawasaki MULE use?
I found a fan motor out of a 1993 Suzuki Aerio that fit for $10 from my local junkyard (Too stubburn and cheap to give Kawasaki $300 for the whole assembly). The fan works when I jump it but it didnt go on when I heated the engine up.
Where is the reserve tank on a Kawasaki MULE?
The 3010 Mule has the radiator under the front grill and a reserve tank (Overflow tank) on the driver’s side over the fender and beside the cargo compartment. It is necessary to have a working reserve tank in order for the Mule to cool properly.
Where is the bleeder cap on a Kawasaki MULE?
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. Fill it through the filler cap under the seat until coolant comes out of the intake manifold. Reinstall the bleeder bolt. Continue filling until the radiator overflows.
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.

What’s the best coolant for a Kawasaki ATV?
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!
