[QUOTE="John SD, post: 1141517, member: 14713"] I have no idea if this applies to your Mule, but my 2 stroke Polaris atv would do the same thing. The soft rubber "intake manifold" between the air filter and carburetor cracked and let in outside air. Same effect as having too much throttle. The crack was obvious after I removed enough stuff so I could see it directly. I would bet there is some kind of similar outside air leak on the intake side causing your Mule to idle too fast. Perhaps a vaccuum hose has come off if it has any. When the engine is relatively cool, start it up, take some WD40 and spray around the area between air filter and carb/EFI. If the WD fogs your engine, there is your leak. [/QUOTE]
