Mine has 700 hrs on it. Recently it's been driving me nuts. The idle is critical. Can't be less than 950 and can't be more 1050. I would set idle to 1000 move throttle linkage and return it to idle and sure bet it would go all over. Sometimes so low engine would almost die. Sometimes 2600 rpms. Nothing was consistent at an idle. It would love to idle at 1300, but that was too fast to put it in gear and if you did you might do a burnout.
RPM's are very critical.
So I decided to take throttle plate off and clean it. No sea foam or anything in the world would clean the two throttle plates. First one is mechanical and the second one is computer controlled. The two fuel injectors are very close to intake valves. So no fuel even gets close to throttle plates. I Got throttle plate apart and full of crap. I thought I had found my problem until I got it back together. Same problem, couldn't set the idle. Everytime I let off the gas the idle could be all over the place.
That's when I decided to attach a rubber band and keep a tension on mechanical throttle to make sure it would returns to idle position.

Going to let mule cool off and see how it works when cold. I love the mule when she is running right and want to shoot her when she is having spells. If rubber band works, I'll be looking for a spring.
Have you had issues with your mule or gator idling correctly? Some gators used the kawasaki fuel injected twin cylinder engine?

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ?
