They should work, looked at both parts lists for the dumps beds, the side carriers and the floor have the same part numbers. Besides color variation.

Welcome! Definitely don't need to be breathing that stuff in! I've searched around on google and couldn't find anyone else with that problem. Does the tail pipe go the very back of the machine and exit at the rear? I would be inclined to check for any exhaust leaks near the manifold (assuming a 2 cylinder engine?) or any cracks in the exhaust pipe.

Air box? If so, they are listed as the same partnumber for the 2013 and 2006 Mule 610.

Welcome! Depends, are you looking for an engine that will replace it? Or do you have the new Kubota engine, and you just need to know how to pull the engine?

This may very well help someone in the future too!

Was it the vent from a valve cover to the airbox? Or from the carb to the open air? Older carbs are also vented to the atmosphere... now days due to the EPA they vent back into the airbox.

black plug means the engine is running rich, too much fuel in the mixture, or not enough air in the mix... check and clean the air filter.

I replaced the Carb on my Mule with a Chinese one, $75 was a lot better than $250.... One thing I like about the aftermarket carbs, they don't have that POS Limiter cap on the idle mixture... So far it's been good on mine... When you pull the carb apart, look at the needle tip, be sure there are no small grooves or it isn't shaped funny (other than the perfect cone shape) could be its wearing and letting extra gas slip by.. I believe they use a a Viton (rubbery) tip and brass seat..

One thing you might can do is carry a can of starting fluid or carb spray/parts cleaner with you, kill it, and if it doesn't restart, try to shoot some straight into the air intake and if it fires up, most likely a fuel issue...( I'm not sure how easy the filter is to remove on this engine, so it may not be a feasible a task...) something makes me think it may be running lean.... Have you looked at the color of the spark plugs?

Or remove the battery and have a parts store load test it.

Check the battery voltage, key off,everything off., Then have some one turn the key to start and hold it there while you're checking the battery if the voltage drops to about 10, or 9 Volts, I would replace the battery.

Fighting the good fight, 👍

Welcome to the UTVBoard! I would definitely recommend a windshield made of Lexan, it's stronger than plexiglass and very clear, However it scratches easy so if a company selling offers a hard coating, get it. Even wiping off dust with a paper towel can create mini scratches, so the recommended cleaning method is wash it off with water and dry with a microfiber towel. Lexan is also impact resisant and it will bend before it breaks. Here are some Honda windshields. https://offroadarmor.com/product-category/sxs-utv/honda/pioneer/windshields-pioneer-honda/ We bought a windshield from them for my Grandad's MuleSX, with the Areo vents in it, he said he can feel the air move through them... but since the Mule is open cab for the most part, wind is easily blown around... it may be different for the honda. here's the Areo vent for the Honda 700 https://offroadarmor.com/product/honda-pioneer-700-2-seater-aero-vent-windshield/

If you have the old starter still, I would compare and count the teeth on the starter gear old VS new starter.

Appears to be Chinese http://www.klung-motor.com/Buggy-parts-one.asp?news_id=701 From what i've seen joyners are similar built to jeeps and other cars... ,might can take one to a auto parts shop and match them up.

Might try calling Kawasaki Cust. Service, 866-802-9381 tthey might can help you sort it out

Some of their commercial mower engines designate the shaft orientation at the end of the of the model series "FC400V" vertical And Kawasaki seems to use D to designate a Horizontal shaft engine.

They're still using the FJ400 in the mule SX, though it may have a different spec number (FJ400-xxxxx) due to it being EFI... the first characters in Kawasaki model numbers gives the CC of the engine (FE290 = 290cc, FJ400= 400 or 401 cc) and then the second set are the spec numbers which describe the variation of that model.. I've got some friends over on a small engine forum that deal with Kawasaki engine's I'll ask them, they might know exactly. Are you looking for parts or just curious about the Engine?

The strap wrench ought to work, but if not, I usually get a long flathead screwdriver and punch it through the filter towards the end (remember it screws onto a stud) and use it like a T handle to loosen. Righty Tighty, lefty loosey

I know you will, but i can't stand not to stress it.. clean that head as though your life depended on it after lapping... That liquid sandpaper won't be good for it at 3,000 RPM...

well, you'll definitley need a new rocker arm on that right side.. Is the spark plug out when you're turning it by hand and it stops? If not, take it out and spin it by hand, if it's easier, then it could be a problem with that valve not opening causing excess compression.... if the spark plug is out, and it's still hitting... I would look for a brok valve, or valve seat popped out holding the valve down into the cylinder... May be easier if you remove the head and inspect and look at everything.

Some of us have had our Side by Sides for a long time and some of us for only a few years or months.... They say hindsight is 20/20 and in that case if you could go back and purchase a different UTV brand that would be better, would you? after you've answered, comment below on why you may or may not choose differently

what about using a marine deep cycle battery for the lights and accessories.... this has a good equation at the end for amps discharge per hours... https://www.powerstridebattery.com/blog/how-are-deep-cycle-batteries-rated-explained-for-dummies
