Bought Mule to use feeding and cutting ice in cold weather. Has 13 hrs on meter so far. What they didn't tell me is you can't use these in cold temps without problems of the crankcase vent system icing up and then pressure builds up in crankcase which then blows out the push in oil filler/dipstick--which lets oil fly out all over theplace. I searched on problem and there is alot of people dealing with the same issue. Dealer just tells them to change oil often and take long trips to burn out the moisture buildup in crankcase.
Most of these UTV rigs are used on short hops here and there and are not going to reach a hot temp in winter. They were not bought for over the road trips to town.
Has anyone come up with a solution to this problem. I would like to zero in on the exact location of the ice block. I suspect it is at the carb end of the hose coming from the head. You can't just block the plug from popping out. It caused the pressure to stop the fuel pump from working.
