MULE 3000 - issue with idle - ENGINE goes OFF very very often/easily.
Hi again,
To introduce myself - I'm from Europe and recently added a MULE 3000 (from 2001) into my family of beloved vehicles.
The "only" flip side I suffer right now is that the engine very often goes off from idle....when for example trying to move the UTV into the garage (so going back forward several times) it nearly goes OFF every time or more often you try to change the direction - so highly frustrating - as I love the MULE but with this behaviour its hard to keep my love going on :-)
That even happens when the engine is warm (after 15min drive).
I also tried to increase the idle speed (revolution speed)…of course this would help – BUT as you know the gear will not “move in” at all or with a lot of cracking….which I guess is not something that will last a long time.
So, one idea is to try to clean the carburetor or at least bring some cleaning liquid into the gas-tank that should clean the whole system….in amazon many users seem to have good results with various engines…
If you have any ideas – or experience – very very welcome to fix my issue. Really love the Mule especially for my timber-working in winter, but this “engine go OFF” all the time makes me crazy. My fear is that I will one day finish my work in the woods and with problems like this not get out during sunlight.
