My mule 610 is the most frustrating thing I have ever owned. Since it was brand new it has had so much “blow by” that the crankcase “vent” freezes where it reenters the induction system, thus clogging the crankcase and building up crankcase pressure so that the engine will not run. It will sometimes even blow the dipstick out if you can get it to run long enough to do so. If you just take the vent off and let it vent to atmosphere it will eventually ice up anyway. Neither Kawasaki or the dealer will help me at all. They claim there is nothing wrong with it. This is ridiculous. The dealer has had it in the shop twice knowing about this. The last time they ran it 10 hours or some ridiculous thing only to give it back to me telling me it was fine and I’m the problem.. Of course,. they gave it back to me with oil that looked like chocolate milk, with .5% water in it. I have given them jars of oil, measured the blow by, graphed all this stuff out, sent the info to Kawasaki, and spent countless hours and dollars to work with the dealer and basically between them and Kawasaki, they are bigger and richer than me.
