I have a 2008, 3010 TransMule with 245 hours.
Starting last week when I started the mule it would run for a couple of minutes then die like it was not getting gas. Once it sat for 5 minutes or so it would start and run fine. I drove down to the field and watered for 3.5 hours. When I was getting ready to drive back to the house it started and ran for about half way around the field and died. IT will not start for about 5 minutes then it runs fine.
I check the air filter and it is clean. I changed both plugs and put a new fuel filter on it. I also adjusted the idle since it needed adjusting anyway. Started up and ran fine but it was already warmed up. The next morning, same thing, runs for about a minute then dies. I am runnig the RPMs at about half throttle as I have always done since mules are cold natured and can choke it to where it will try to keep running but it still dies.
I thought about the fuel pump but if there was a problem with the fuel pump I think it would be on going.
Any ideas what the issue could be other than maybe the carburetor or trash in the fuel line?
