no spark at plugs

to be honest with you i have the same quad and its the same age, ive just had to spend a fortune on it because the engine seized solid for no reason, i had a honda 350 before this kawasaki and im going back to honda. im NEVER going to buy another kawasaki, its been nothing but trouble from day one!

I assume the help you need is simply, that you can't remove the seat. They are a little awkward. But you need to insert the key, twist it, sadly it's spring loaded so you'll need to keep one hand on thae key. Then you need to push the seat back, quite hard, a good punch will do. Then simply lift it up and away from the front of the bike.

Hope that helps.

PS the spot to insert the key is on the stand side under the seat, bend down have a look.

If it didn't pop after the valve adjustment, try adjusting the valves again.
Popping out the exhaust usually indicates a burned exhaust valve. The valve doesn't seat all the way around and air/fuel mixture is getting into the exhaust header on the compression stroke and igniting from header heat. The reason this doesn't happen at higher rpms is the amount of time for the air/fuel to leak it really short.

Most of the time you can look up the owners manual on websites as long as you can find the kawasaki website you should be good, i had the same problem with a dirt bitke and i found there website and found the owners manual and downloaded the owners manual and printed it out. Hope i was of some help to you.

Did you ever find the fix for your mule?

All the "safety" engine-kill "features" on this mower will ground the ignition system, stopping the engine and causing a no-spark condition. Check the seat switch, the brake switch. Also, the circuit board will cause the problem you have if it gets rained on, (the mower hood does not protect it); point is do not let the mower get rained on (or washed) unless you protect the PC board, which is right behind the ignition switch. Mine dried out and worked again but only after liberal spraying with (plastic-safe) electronic parts cleaner. You are right the manual would help, it's like $76 but it's in depth. Good luck, and PLEASE tell us what the solution was! -Tom

Helpful Deere lx176, lx178, hood hinge tip: If the hood hinge is broken on yours like on most, Deere has a GREAT repair kit that's only $10. They really priced it at cost or less to correct a defect they are aware of.

Just loosen the oil cap and then loosen the bleeder untill steady stream comes out the bleeder. Top off with oil replace cap and thats it . Good luck
