  1. Yep, already have a new Dayco drive belt ready to be installed
  2. I'll post a video as soon as i figure out how to get it from my tablet, to my computer.
  3. Tomorrow I'll hook my compression gauge up to it and see where it's at. Probably once Christmas break starts I'll work on installing it. But it kicks over in about a second and a half.
  4. Its aliiiive!!!!!! I mean it runs!!! Fired up first time, I ran it at varying speeds, and let it idle for a little bit, temperature stayed good on the head , no higher than160 degrees.
  5. Possible snow for Conroe this Friday according to the weather man....
  6. Carb gaskets coming in tomorrow. FedEx usually delivers early here. So I may run it tomorrow.

    2001 Mule 550 rebuild

    Rebuild of 2001 kawasaki mule 550.
  11. It'll be a couple of days, just ordered the carb gaskets. That's one thing i like about Rocky mountain atv, over Babbitt's, you can choose your shipping speed. I figured out i had the governor arm in the wrong spot, it's supposed to be on the other side of that stud.
  12. I just had a VERY RARE occurance. i had a thought. I was going to use a 2 foot wide by 3/4" plywood for the "test stand", BUT, here is my thought, that ply wood will fit on the frame (where the bed sits), and the wiring harness will reach up there, so i can set the engine on the back, and hook up everything it needs to run in a few minutes. and this will eliminate (maybe) any starting problems. I got to looking and the starter has 2 prongs with 1 grounding tab, and other things. It would be easier said than done. but this way it'll be much easier. hopefully done than said.
  13. Does this look right? The diagram from Kawsaki is no help. I was going to install the carb. woops! Forgot to order carb gaskets!
  14. Battery is good I believe, took it off the charger last night and voltage hasnt dropped from 12.7 any.
  15. Morning everyone! Cold here. I plan to put the carburetor on today, and maybe attempt to run it, depending on what the battery says. I'll definitely post a video.
  16. Also I've had good luck w it h Rocky mountain ATV/MC and prices are cheaper than most other places.
  17. Raining Raining Raining......
  18. I'll pull a good ol' Chuck Norris on 'em!
  19. Hey now, Don't under estimate me ;). Lol.
  20. MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone! Hope your holiday season is filled with health, happiness and good times with your friends and family.

  21. Got the battery hooked up and slow charging. Let it charge up this evening and see if it holds.
  22. I tested the battery today, reading 7.5 volts, gonna charge it up and see if it holds. I was going to slap the carb on today, and try and fire it up, but the storms are moving in and put a damper on my plans.
  23. You know.... i have a spark tester for small engines, i might put the prong that plugs into the boot, and clip the other end to the spark plug, so that way it won't get so hot... I don't know...... You're wit messed up my plan lol
  24. OOh, didnt think of that. i guess i could pull the spark plug boot off the plug. maybe... or if i can figure out a way to ground the magneto, like on a push mower. Fuel shut off valve would take too long...... I'll think on that.....
