I am really new to this forum, so this may be a really dumb question.  I was wondering if factory service manuals were available for download on this forum, and if so, where do I find them?  Thanks.

Strange that all 4 of them have the exact same problem.  This might be dumb, but could they all possibly have water in the gas?  Because alcohol is hygroscopic (draws moisture), and because of increased alcohol in fuel these days (10-15% all the time, not just in winter like it used to be, at least around here), water in the fuel is a more common problem than it used to be.  Maybe wouldn't be a bad idea to use a "dry gas" product all the time.  This alcohol content also doesn't always agree with the original factory carb jetting (which didn't necessarily account for that alcohol content), so that may also be an issue as well.

Thanks for your reply.  I'm not sure if you can add a pulley or about the PTO status of the motor, but those are good ideas.  I had not thought of that.

I contacted a company that makes replacement stators, and Kawasaki.  The stator company said that they do not produce a stator with increased output, only one to stock specs (although better quality).  Kawasaki does not offer a stator with increased output either.  They recommended either a larger battery or running two batteries in parallel to increase capacity, and installing a volt-meter so you can guage the battery condition (and start turning things off if needed).  They also recommended using a battery charger after use to maintain the batteries.  Kawasaki told me they do NOT recommend any external lights as this would likely overwhelm the system.  An interesting note (not one that I had thought about), if you increase the stator output, you would then cause an increase in drag on the motor and bog it down a bit, according to Kawasaki, and the engine was not necessarily designed with this in mind.

Hey, everybody - great website.  I am a newbie here, and have a question about my '07 Mule 610.  I plan on adding a cab, overhead console with radio, heater, plow lights, wipers, etc...  I know I will have to go to a bigger battery, but are there any options for upgrading the charging system so it can keep up?  I have a Battery Tender and plan on using that also, but I wanted to make sure that I didn't kill the battery if I was out for extended periods plowing (I plow out 5-6 other people as well and am sometimes out for several hours). Also, my brother and Dad use the Mule to plow if I am at work and I wanted to kind of "fool-proof" it to keep someone else from being stranded.  Obviously, I should watch my power management (leave radio off, turn plow lights on only when needed).  I have seen a kit from Polaris for the Ranger that allows you to add a second battery, and the charging system will handle them both, according to my understanding.  However, the Polaris charging system may be far different than the Mule's.  Is there anything like that for the Mule? (The Polaris kit I believe is ~$200, and I would prefer to not have to try and make it work on a Mule if I don't have to.) Also, I have no idea if the Mule system could even handle such a set-up.  I haven't seen anything like that from Kawasaki, and they don't mention upgrading the battery in any of their publications on the cabs, radios, etc... Or, in someones experience, is the bigger battery and Battery Tender enough?  Just wondering what your ideas were. - Thanks!
