Kawasaki 3010 Mule Grinds and Then Stalls When Put in Gear

I have an 2006 3010 Trans 4x4. I have a hard fourth dimension shifting into gear without grinding. Reverse is a little meliorate. I think it is an idle problem. When cold information technology tends to slow idle and stall 50/50% of the fourth dimension if you can't become back to gas quick enough. But when warm it idles to fast. Cannot become a abiding idle speed. If you lot tap on the gas pedel enough times it slows down enough to get into gear. Iv'e been to the dealer several times with no luck. They replaced the carburator and looked everything over merely could not fix. When borer on gas and looking at carb there is slack, movement or hangup in the cable that I can see or experience. I played with the cablevision, carb adj, clean air filter, adjust valve, etc with no luck. Been like this since solar day one. Everyone else have this problem???

Thanks

I have a 2510 mule with the same trouble and seems to be getting worse. My solution is to plough off the key and one second later back on and the idle speed slows to where there is no grind going in gear. I have owned this mule for 4+ years and it has gotten a fiddling worse over the years. Kawaski has a good site for the mule with lots of info from the posters. The carb arrangement of these machines is not like shooting fish in a barrel to suit.

Thanks for the comeback. Since my original post I've searched a lot of forums and posts. Seems that this is a very mutual trouble with the Mules and Kawasaki either can't or won't fix the problem. I'thousand going to see if I can discover a replacement/upgrade carburator that has some adjustments. The original is a MIKUNI # BW26-18.

I accept a 2004 3010 Mule and my neighbor has a 2004 3000 Mule. I've adjusted both idle speeds on these machines. Information technology'southward a balance between too tedious and too fast. I'm non sure nearly the newer Mules, but I have to asphyxiate mine all the fashion and feather information technology a bit until it is warmed up. And then, I can remove my foot from the accel pedal and information technology will idle down plenty to go into gear without jerking. Really, now-and-and so I do have the engine die every bit I apply gas, simply this is just the nature of a manually choked engine with warmup filibuster. On a CVT transmission, high-speed idle and shifting is not a good match. Grinding/rough shifting will occur.

BTW: The idle adjustment for our 3010 Mule is a two-footstep process. Y'all take to suit the accelerator stop screw over the top of the rear axle (near the frame cantankerous-tube where there is a black sheetmetal cover like to the one over the carburetor). This screw is loosened to allow slack in the accelerator and so the idle is adjusted on the carb for 850-950 rpm. I prefer the everyman rpm that smoothen operation occurs. Once the idle is adapted, the accelerator stop screw is adjusted to accept out any slack in the accelerator cable (until the cease screw but touches the accelerator lever). You can actually slightly vary your idle speed with this screw also. These are the instructions right out of the Kawasaki Mule Utility Vehicle Service Transmission, 7th addition of July 2006.

I too have a 3010 Mule (2005). Way back at about l hrs on clock, information technology got hard to commencement and the idle was non dependable. One time I adapted the valves, it was very piece of cake to start (every bit long equally high-strung fully) and idle is now very dependable. As Jinman said, you have to find an idle speed that balances dependable idle with smooth gear engagement.

After years of gear grinding I found someone who could ready it. The mixture screws were modified and then that it could idle. At that place were several other things also inverse. He also had a transmission apart and showed me what causes the grinding. Basically its two cogs being pushed together with the gear selector. When idleing to fast the tips of the cogs grind and wear the tips off. Subsequently to much gringing it starts jumping out of gear. Several hundred $$ which included filters, spark plugs etc the MULE runs smashing. Has virtually 4 hrs on information technology. Has more power than it ever had and the govenor is still on.

I'm not sure about the shifter jumping out of forward. Does it practise it in both Hi and Lo? The grinding is normally nothing more than the idle speed set up too loftier. Some people adapt upwards the idle and then the engine won't stall when cold, only that causes grinding. You have to take idle at the correct speed and allow the engine warm up before shifting into gear.
