2005 mule 610 performance issues


Rutherford

Recommended Posts

Mule runs fine for awhile but sometimes when climbing up a grade it will act like it wants to stall. It only does it for about 15 seconds, only on an uphill grade then it will start running fine again. I have been living with this for a few years now and have done the following:
Empty tank and refill
Replace fuel filter

Checked fuel pump per service manual

Removed carburetor and took to motorcycle mechanic who cleaned it, checked pilot, float, etc.
Ran seafoam thru system
Tonight it started doing something different. It would not idle at times.
So now I have idle issues and issues at top speed. I did notice a nick in the insulation on the coil wire and I taped it up. I am wondering if that or a coil issue may be my problem. I don't ride much in water but the mule has been exposed to the elements. So would a bad coil or wire do something like this?
Thanks for any help

I have a 2011 Mule 610 with only 36 hours on it. I too have just started having an issue where when I'm climbing up a hill, running full throtle, it acts like it's starved for fuel and bogs down. I've replaced the fuel filter, checked the air filter, drained the carburator, and it's still doing it, so I'm interested if you get any feedback. I only run non-ethynol gas. I just bought this a couple of months ago for hunting. I haven't had any issues with it at deer camp. Brought it home for a while to clean it up and use it around the neighborhood. At camp, I've never ran it full throttle, so I never experienced the issue. Since bringing it home, it does it everytime I'm running it somewhat full throttle, going up a hill.

      The conversion took about 350lbs. off the vehicle.  It never rode great, but now I feel every  crack in the road.  I have backed off spring compression nut to the point just under where they would move around if suspension was at full extension, but it is still very stiff.  I would like to put some softer coilover springs on it, but I have no idea what the spring rate is with the original springs so I would just be guessing on what to order.  Does anyone have the data for the original spring compression rate?  I am willing to give up a little ground clearance for a softer ride. Right now when sitting still the rear suspension is at or near full extension and the rear tires have several degrees of camber which will cause uneven wear if allowed to continue in this state.

      Fuel injected 700 starts great and idles great but touch the gas and it dies

      Okay everyone, need some help here. I got my 2014 Bennche Bighorn 700 from my father inlaw. He has had it since new and as far as I know never had any problems with it until recently. It began with it being hard to start and having to give it some throttle for it to start up. Then it wouldn't stay running once it did start. If you go to start it, it will fire right off and only run for a split second and then die. If you give it some throttle it will start and stay running as long as your foot is on the pedal. While it's running its pretty rough and backfires. Here is a list of everything I've done so far. Initially I checked compression and it was low. I changed the cylinder, piston and rings. Took the head apart cleaned and laped the valves. Checked timing a few times. Adjusted the valves. New spark plug. Checked the air filter, it was fine. New battery. Changed the fuel pump because of a broken fitting. Changed the fuel filter, lines and fuel injector. Dumped the old fuel and put new in. Changed the air idle control, TPS, MAP sensor, Voltage Regulator, ECU and harness. I was getting codes 31, 107, 113 and 122 on the display. Once I changed the ECU no more codes have been displayed but still have the same issues. All fuses look good and as far as I can tell Grounds are good unless there are some I can't find. I'm at a loss here. Not really sure where to go. Compression was better after everything I did but I don't remember the numbers. I'll have to check it again if someone thinks that could be the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

      Recently I had an overheating issue on my 2022 Coleman Outfitter 550 (Hisun UT550) and to check to make sure it was fixed I took it out for a ride around the block. After a couple cycles on the LED coolant meter, I took it for a couple mile ride and on my way back I heard a loud metallic snap then a grinding noise. It was still able to move under its own power but very slowly. I was about 2 blocks from the truck so 'I limped it home and up onto the trailer. I know I need to tear it apart and look for what broke, but anyone have a guess as to where to start? I'm seriously getting tired of this damn machine! 750 miles on it and already replaced the belt, wet clutch, primary clutch, clutch roller weights among a few other things. Seriously, this friggin machine has spent more time on the lift than on the road. I thought I bought this new because it was from the owner of a tractor supply, but he registered it under the stores name making me the 2nd owner voiding any and all warranties.
      Any Ideas what to look for would be appreciated.
      Thanks
