UTV WeeklyWas charging battery on my 3010 mule. When I start it and unhook the battery charger I lose all power and then it dies. It will run and has power when hoked to the charger.
where do I start to look for the problem
After changing a battery out on my 3000 mule I had to place it on a battery charger. When I started the mule it ran fine until I took the cables from the charger off. At this point the engine lost power tried to die. If I place the charger back on, the engine will start running right and acts like it has plenty of power. Thought once it was running you could diconnect the charger.

Mule 610 When we trailer it to the lease the starter will not engage if you hit the switch more than once the crankcase fills with gas.I figure the pump is bad but don’t understand the starter thing???????????

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.
Kauai Fire Department
Lydgate Beach Park on the island of Kauai is a great location for snorkeling in the protected swim area, but dangerous waves break on the outer reefs and coral and rocks create a few hazards that require the beach to be under the watch of lifeguards from the Kauai Fire Department (KFD).
With a few miles of beach to cover and only one tower, the lifeguards needed a way to monitor the entire beach. The drivable area of the beach was not conducive to even a small pickup, so they decided to try a 4×4 utility vehicle instead. The Kauai Fire Department selected a 2007 Kawasaki Mule 3010, and could not be happier with the results.
The Mule carries their rescue surfboard, first aid equipment and other rescue supplies. The 4×4 Mule greatly extends the normal reach of the KFD lifeguards so they can easily cover the entire beach.
The Mule features a four-stroke engine, selectable four-wheel drive, an automatic transmission, bench seat and tilting cargo bed. But the size and off-road capabilities are what makes the Mule invaluable.
Modifications
The continuous beach environment is brutal on vehicles. The Kauai Fire Department Mule was lined with “Lava-Liner” (similar to Line-X) to help prevent rust from taking over. The Mule is also washed down at the end of each day.
