People I've done this no less than 50 times over the years. If you want your mule twin to start with choke and stay running to warm up you need to remove the two tamper proof plugs and open the mixture screws a 1/2 turn and the cold natured beast will be gone. They send out engines so so so lean especially lawn equipment. They are on the top two round idk 1/8 bosses facing up and have two welch plugs wit tiny holes in them. Be cautious! if you drill as when bit passes thru and goes too deep the bit will hit the screw ramming it closed in its seat and that's not good! I actually use a bit with depth stop on it. The Yamaha GP and XLT 1200 pwcs were same way but on high speed adjustments. Ive also many many many times reused the carb/manifold gaskets with no issues! Ive also ruined them and made them by hand with gasket material. This is a very good professional video and guy too but Ive been doing this work for a living since before this guys parents was in grade school. Ive reused tons of oring style bowl gaskets too. the issue with bowl screws is most watching this video dont even know what a JIS screwdriver is. you also failed to mention the mule twin carb is coolant warmed! crimp/pinch the two coolant lines to keep air out of coolant system that's a whole different problem that could be created. the 2 lines with clamps on the y fitting are coolant lines!!! not fuel and vent! Partszilla and boats.net are good and genuine parts but after years I recommend looking up parts and calling them with order.
@@stevegann3251 The screws are for low speed only and only controls how much fuel is getting to the low speed mixture side of the carb. A person needs to understand how the carb works at idle to about 1/4-1/3 throttle engine is running on the low speed circuit then after that its combination of low speed and main jets then at wide open its running on main jets . the old mules run fine at wide open aka main jets. when you screw in the mixture screws it limits the fuel at idle and 1/4 throttle. and also remember when a mixture screw is on engine side of a carb its a fuel screw and when its on air filter side its a air screw. when the throttle plates open it uncovers small holes in the bores that fuel then flows thru.feeding engine at low speeds. Dont mess with jets. Kawaski tried to help this issue by running heated coolant thru carb heating it up. Thats the two black lines on center top. I pinch them when removing so air dont get in cooling system! The two screws im speaking of limits amount of fuel able to go thru plot jets. so opening screws is like going few sizes larger on idle aka pilot jet. BE CAREFUL REMOVEING TAMPER PLUGS!!!! IF DRILL BIT GOES TOO DEEP IT WILL HIT AND RUN SCREWS IN TOO TIGHT RUINING CARB!
Thank you. This is a great video. I was able to do it myself with no problem. I would recommend getting a new gasket for the air box/carb side and new seal for the air box too.
Thanks for making this video first one I've seen for this mule model. My dad's mule is just like the one in the vid and won't stay idling. Going to clean the carb cause y'all made it look so easy. Thanks subscribed
thanks for a clear concise video. I just did this on my 01 3010. my problem is the choke linkage travel. I don't seem to have enough adjustment length in the cable to pull the choke butterflies completely closed. It also would have to be in the full closed position to push the lever arm on the opposite side of the carb down far enough to push the throttle butterfly to fast idle. This machine has always been very hard to start, and I'm wondering if I'm just not able to ever get it to full choke, but the only adjustment I see is the threaded shaft on the cable housing. That doesn't seem to be enough. The length of travel at the choke knob itself seems short as well, only about 1/2" from pulled all the way out to all the way in. Am I missing something? thanks.
Great video , very thorough & instructional !! Question ... the small lines that go on top of the carb look like they have coolant running thru them ,, what is that for , what does coolant actually do in there ?? Thanks !! 😎👍
I have a mule 610 2006 and carb if getting no fuel I purchased a new fuel pump still no fuel. Its not the fuel tank i cleaned new filter also just asking for help
I know this is a bit off topic but do you have any recommendations on setting fuel mixture? I have a 2019 Mule SX and the owners manual recommends a carb adjustment if above 2000'. I'm at 4000' feet. Seems to run okay but concern it might be burning rich. Would love your input. Thanks.
Up to 4k, you shouldn't have to rejet the carb. Just your air-fuel screw adjustment. For every 2000 feet that your altitude has increased after that, decrease your jet one size and go one clip leaner on your needle jet. At least, that's a good rule of thumb.
@@timwilson3529 mine didn't attach to anything and was pointed to the ground. It was clogged with mud and wouldn't let any air past. I tested by disconnecting the hose and the motor ran amazing. So i unclogged the hose and repositioned it where it would be less likely to clog again.

Also is the jets different sizes?

But if you open the screws underneath 1/2 to 1 turn more it will start after choking and stay running when cold!
Excellent video. I’ve never replaced a carburetor on my mule until today. Your video took me step by step. Runs like new.

easttxtycoon did you find a fix for it?
At minute 7:18 of the video, what is the part number for that gasket?

antifreeze circulates to warm the carb. supposed to keep it from forming ice.
Does it have a replacement seat ???
Kits don’t have one just needle 😊
Do you have a link for the gasket?
You said seat came out ???! I didn’t see it ????explain this please
Where can I get the rebuild kit please?
Still have to replace o rings and gaskets
Are the main jet ports bigger than the pilot jet ports??
I have a mule 610 2006 and carb if getting no fuel I purchased a new fuel pump still no fuel. Its not the fuel tank i cleaned new filter also just asking for help
Which jets are the main Jets the big ones or the little ones
Muy bueno amigo
If the main jets are 95, what number should my pilot jets be? Thank you
How do you know if jets need replaced?

put new one on my mule and gas pours out the overflow wont idle any ideas
Float is stuck
Does the smaller clear tube hook to anything on the other end? Mine is hooked to the carb and just hangs down by like the gas tank.
If you're referring to the vent/overflow hose, then no, it doesn't attach to anything
@@PartzillaParts Oh good thank you very much.
I know this is an old comment, but were you referring to the clear pink hose?
@@timwilson3529 yes
@@mirai3263 sweet! Thanks for responding!
How do you adjust the idle. Mine will not stay idling. Carb was cleaned but no idle
What is the torque on the head bolts of a 3000 mule 2004 model
Did you find a fix for it?
Pink hose is a vacuum or vent hose so if it’s clogged it won’t run at all that was my problem
@@blocklife03 where does the pink hose attach on the other side?

were the jets reverse thread ? kinda looked like it
Do you have a link for the right gasket?
