2004 KAWASAKI MULE SITTING FOR YEARS, WILL IT RUN?
In this video we work on a 2004 Kawasaki mule that was sitting for years and doesn’t run, it was transformed into a hunters dream machine, let’s see if we can fix it

I love your tenacity and never say die attitude. Most backyard mechanics would have given up when you found the air leak with the carb. Not you. Congrats on your new acquisition.

Wow, thank you!
I believe you will find that coolant line going to that carb is not to keep it cool, it is actually there to warm the carb for better fuel vaporization during cool weather. I use Simple Green HD in my ultrasonic cleaner. Never had a problem with discoloration of any carbs. The zinc content is what causes the discoloration. The FD620 is a great engine. I have two of them. One in my 425 Deere, and the other I put on my Grasshopper. I rebuilt the one in my 425 after I got it. The engine was so worn that I had to have it bored oversize, replace the crank, and even change the carb body out because the throttle shaft was worn so bad. You could push the pistons side to side nearly 1/32”. But the engine still ran fine, was just pushing oil out past the crank seals due to excessive blowby. Tough little motors!

yes you are comepletey correct about the coolant line! I actually have 4 things rite now with fd620 engines I have this and a 425,445 and a jd gator, I like these engines they are simple to work on and reliable!
Looks like you could mount a 50 cal on the crane. Welcome back.

I have some videos of the skid steer and excavator coming later. I got some other videos to finish up first though.
Just FYI the coolant that goes through carburetors or through manifold is actually designed to heat them not cool them. The evaporation of fuel creates a significant cooling effect and sometimes coolant is run through to prevent condensation and even potentially ice from forming

Kawasaki should offer those mods as factory options. They're well thought out, especially the crane. Also, there's something wrong with the audio channel, possibly the mic or low battery. There's a lot of IM distortion on high frequencies and impulse sounds. Very annoying/disconcerting. Consider using a professional on-body wireless mic.

Great Video. Comparing you videos to diesel creek isn't a fair comparison. Matt is located in the heart of what at one time the steel and manufacturing capitol of the United States. The opportunities that afforded him is great. Think about having US Steel headquarters a few miles away. Most importantly, you're two different people. You have a different presentation style than him. I can relax and watch you videos. Keep up the good work!
