Hello! My snapper has a Kawasaki FC150V-ES11, and I have tried numerous repairs to get it running smoothly but have been unsuccessful, so was wondering they even make the FC series anymore and if not, what a comparable model of Kawasaki or any other brand of engine would be to fit the mower...

Just ordered a spark tester, should be here Friday. What am I looking for though, shouldn’t I see the spark stop as the engine stops anyways? Or would I notice the spark ceasing and then the engine stopping? Is the order of those events the important factor? Also just looking into buying a...

Not sure if anyone is still monitoring, but just replaced the new ignition coil today. Lawn Mower fired up and ran for a solid 5 or 6 minutes, but then reverted back to the same thing. I tried again multiple times after it cooled down and now we are back to only running for 2-3 minutes...

Coil was about $70 with shipping. Just pulled the control unit off the motor and re-tested the ohms. Still sitting at a 7.89K, regardless of the polarity of the meter. Seems like some odd results compared to the what the shop manual shows as normal range. Might try throwing the new coil on...

The multimeter I'm using is a "RadioShack 35-range Auto Ranging Digital Multimeter". Model/product number might be 22-801. But like I mentioned, I'll pull the control unit off the mower tomorrow and test the resistance. I've already put in an order for a new ignition coil.

I'll have to take a look at the meter again, its a radioshack "auto ranging" meter. It certainly takes 2-5 pulls before the engine turns over. Also, I had the ignition coil straight off the mower, but will test again after removing the control unit too. If these don't fix it, then perhaps its...

Just finished testing resistance with my multimeter on the ignition coil and here were the values I consistently got: referring to the image SLOMO posted, the control unit kept giving a value of 7.89 k no matter which lead was where, as for the ignition coil Primary Coil - 1.5K Secondary Coil -...

Hey guys! First off THANKS A TON. Carb is chinese, becasue I didn't want to invest $130 if it wasn't going to work out. SLOMO, the mower dies out whether I am mowing or just leave it running on flat ground. Doesn't seem to behave differently at all. The ground cable was severed when I began...

Hello! First post here so sorry if this has been discussed before, but my Kawasaki FC150V-ES11 on a Snapper CP21500KWV is about 20 years old and I am trying to revive it. I finally got around to replacing the carburetor, spark plug, air filter, fuel lines, throttle cable and engine oil but it...
