I ohmed the 2 wires that come from the key switch to the relay, Both showed 00.1 ohms, Keep in mind this didn't test the key switch as the switch plugs in to the harness, so i had to in plug it and measure from the female harness end to the relay plug in end.

Not sure, your best bet would be to contact your local Coleman/HiSun dealer. However, my Mule calls for SAE 90 (hypoid, API GL5) in the manual, however kawasaki sells 80W-90 gear oil for it.

Howdy!

LOL!

I don't think i posted this, but the other day when it acted up, i unplugged the trigger wire, and got a screwdriver and went from the BIG + on the Starter solenoid, and shorted to the trigger TAB on the starter solenoid. And of course that big + is able to provide more amperage than the trigger is. it started right up. and the way this starter system works is when the trigger gets voltage, it pulls the solenoid in and the solenoid has a piece that pushes the starter gear out to mesh with the flywheel, now of course the flywheel and starter gear aren't going to be properly aligned every time, so the starter gear is free to spin one way independent from the starter shaft. If the solenoid is getting enough power through the trigger, it should be enough force for the gear to move enough to mesh with the flywheel, i think instead the trigger isn't pulling the solenoid hard enough and when it isn't meshed just right, it can't overcome that friction. I could just start doing like Fred Flintstone.... cut the floor board out of it, LOL

That's what I'm thinking next, I'm going to look at the wiring diagram , see if I can figure out which wires supply voltage to the relay, and ohm the wires, and then check voltage on it. New keyswitch from Kawi is $70.00 so ill probably slap a CCP part on it.

Well it's probably not the relay, got the new relay in, it plugged right in, no modification required, and I had to turn the key 3 times for it to finally engage and turn over. (This was also the first time starting it today)But ill leave it on for now and keep the old one.

Do you think this exhaust would fit my mule? 2001 MULE 550 KAF300C5 model. LOL

no problems today.

check out PowersportsID, they have a wide selection of All terrain tires.

Yeah, those starters are kind of heavy to be chunking around, lol!

i've ran 89 octane in my mule forever, never noticed any performance issues, or difference when i tried premium/higher octane.

Think i could pour some pepto bismol in the crankcase?

I'm doubting it's internal in the starter, as it's done it with 3 starters (one old one that had been on for 5 years, a chinese knock off, then the Arrowhead starter i recently got), guess next i'll replace the connector at the starter solenoid, and then try the relay. I doubt it's a bad cell in the battery, as i would think that would appear during cranking also, and when it cranks, it cranks it over fast. no drag or anything.

i'm thinking about trying this one, pins appear to be in the correct order, almost looks like an exact copy of the Denso relay on it now. and if it doesn't work, it's only $9 bucks. https://www.amazon.com/Car-Motor-12V-SPST-Relay/dp/B0177ANEQ2/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=4+pin+relay+spst&qid=1615345807&sr=8-3

i was just doing some reading online, about starter relays and came across this article saying "The problem with a failed starter relay is that sometimes it works brilliantly and in other cases it does not work at all. If you start your car once and it starts without a fault, then try start it again and it won’t start at all, then you are more than likely dealing with a faulty starter relay."

ah, i see what you were getting at now, it does appear the female connectors can be removed/change places with on the wiring harness if i need to. Thanks

Guess i don't quite understand what you mean.

https://postimg.cc/gallery/wLXJ1KC Here's the relay. The two on the right appear to be #2 and #4. it does look a little dirty in there where the plugs are, but believe me i've already tried cleaning them

Main thing to consider is if you were to find a machine that fits your needs (electric/gas powered) i would not buy it unless it is from a reputable brand, and WHEN it breaks down, you know you can find the parts to fix it. and to be honest, the more electricity there is on the machine, the more problems can occur. Maybe i'm just old fashioned, but that's the way i see it, i'll take mechanical over electric any day of the week.

Alright, i'll get some pics of the relay. Did some work on our driveway today, about 10 starts with no problems at all.

starter was hitting again this morning, 3 times before it would engage, i'm also thinking of replacing the circuit relay, kawasaki wants $43, used around $30.... Just wondering if i could go to O'rielly or someplace and just get a 4 pin relay?
