I finally decided to take the carburetor off the mule and clean it,

Pull it off, piece of cake....

Take off the bowl, here is what it looked like.IMG_20191129_110850.thumb.jpg.c711cce70885b7eff4bf6fd113fbf62c.jpg

 

Then I proceed to pull out the float pin, sigh

As you can see, part of the hinge casting broke off.

I contemplated JB welding it, but decided not too.Mikuni and Kawasaki are $170-$200 too proud of this carb.

I stooped low and bought a  $60 off of amazon.

Is rather go oem but couldn't in this case.

 

Oh well, nearly 20 years on 1 carb. not bad i guess. never took apart and cleaned, just b12 chemtool in the tank every so often.

Yep, for the 550, a OEM mikuni is $170+

$60 seemed to be reasonable. I saw some for $30, or less but I really question the quality at that point.

Interesting thing I noticed, I'm used to Briggs carbs made by Nikki or Walbro.

This Mikuni uses a metal needle with a rubber tip instead of a metal needle and rubber seat.

      Identify this part help needed
      By Wolfpaak
      I think this part is causing a high idle problem(4000 rpm at start up) in my 04 R4 Joyner. I took it out and cleaned it and the problem went away. I just went out to start my SXS and it's idle jumped up to 4 grand again. Can someone tell me what this part is called so I can search for a new one. Or can you point me towards a source. 
      Thanks in advance.

      By Grant
      I recently bought an axis 500 and it’s missing a box or something the plug is L shaped I’ve looked through the wiring diagrams and still can’t figure it out. The plug is located right near the battery housing

      Washing Mule Underbody
      By rsar
      Hey guys. I was wondering if anyone pressure washes their Mule underbody. Three years in, I have yet to do this. I'm worried that the pressure washer could damage or dislodge something but it's gotten to the point that it could use a bath. Any thoughts?

      2510 Kawasaki mule Diesel
      By TjB
      My dad has recently acquired a 2510 Kawasaki mule Diesel powered. It worked fine  few weeks and then quit driving. Put a new belt on just to see. Still not driving. It already had a new clutch. Belt turns when in drive or reverse and back wheels are off ground to test. But wheels not turning. Thoughts?

      Mule 4010 trans overheating
      By Will D
      Hello, I have a mule 4010 trans that appeared to overheat based on the temperature light on the dash and it went into limp mode.  No steam though.  After letting it cool and the next day, I drove it around quite a bit and it did not have any problems.  Any ideas on this.  Do thermostats work intermittently?  I would like to fix the problem, looking for advice.  Many thanks
