Have you found the dash warning light? Checked the bulb? I never had the dash light come on until the the switch on the radiator failed. My fan rarely came on. It would come on the most at shutdown. Then it did not run very long.

I did find the light , it was disconnected...go figure , but of the 100 chores I had to do that was all I had time for ,I’ll get back to it today and see if I can get it connected, on a side note .. does anyone know where I can get a brake fluid reservoir? I’ve looked on eBay and googled it but all that comes up is a brand new master cylinder, the brake system needs to be completely flushed , as the previous owner left the cap off ...

Do you need the reservoir or a cap? Kawasaki did not sell just the reservoir separate. I would look for a complete master cylinder. Used to try,(as replacement) or pull the reservoir from it for yours. Or new to be sure, since we are working on brakes.
Kawasaki list price is $284. I am sure you can do better on eBay.

I’ll probably just buy a whole New one

Got the new master cylinder, and found the return spring broken ... anyone know where I can find the master cylinder cover for the 2510 ... currently searching eBay

Any Kawasaki dealer can order it, P/N 43026-1067 $23
OR did you mean the body part? P/N 14024-1788-6L (red) $58

Yes the plastic cover that goes on the front ... thanks a ton

 

[Jheald65]

thanks for all your help so far ... I had bought a new master cylinder and that was all I needed to finish up the project, until it started having a hard time starting , checked the plugs, one was dirty (sooty) checked the oil, and found it to be a beautiful creme color. I looked down in the cylinder and saw fluid on the top of the piston. Thinking that I had a blown head gasket,I pulled the head but the gasket looks intact . I do have one bent push rod as well . Is there a plug on the engine to drain the coolant?

IIRC There is a drain plug on the water pump. If not, there are two hoses to the water pump you could pull. Red circle is where drain plug should be.

I found two 12 mm bolts , one on each side of the metal pipe incoming and out going from the radiator to the engine and back , on the bottom side of the me , towards the front of the Mule those drain the lines only it seems ,and maybe the radiator. But I did find two other 14mm bolts just below the dipstick mounting bolt , one on each side of the block ( one for each cylinder) that drained the coolant from the block . I have a new head gasket and push rods , can coolant get into any other part of the engine oil somehow? The gasket looked good , and I can’t seem to find any cracks , or signs of any gasket failure.

Through the shaft seal on the water pump.
