Kawasaki is a good engine. I had one on a mower and abused it regularly cutting heavy stuff and it never quite. I wish we could figure out what year model. Pictures look good. I’d look at all the moving parts. Linkages, pulleys etc. Have him start it up cold and see if it smokes any. You...

Got the right idea pulling the tank and cleaning it up and replacing fuel lines. Reply back on how the dishwasher works out for you. My curiosity is at a all time high. I can clean mine while the Admiral is at work. Lol Good luck, hope you end up with a smooth running machine.

I wouldn’t just spray it. If it’s varnished up bad it’ll need to soak. You want to get all the varnish so it doesn’t work loose and clog the carburetor. Then you start all over. I like the dishwasher idea. I’ve got a Yamaha outboard I might try cleaning the carburetors body’s that way. And yes...

Glad to here that I just recently switched to Star Tron and was hoping it was a good idea.

Zoysia is so fine. I don’t know how it will mulch. I had a customer with Zoysia grass and before I cut her yard I had to put a smaller line on my trimmer and I put a freshly sharpened blade on my Hustler mower. Which cut it very well. She had mowers but they wouldn’t cut near as well is the only...

I run none ethanol what ever octane is available (at least 89). As far as super unleaded i still has ethanol. The only time super is required is for high performance engines. I still run it in my 2cycle equipment. The main thing is the ethanol. Don’t buy more fuel than your going to use usually...

Check safety switches and clean the connections. Double check that the blades are not engaged. I say that because I’ve seen it happen a lot. As far as your belt breaking check the pulleys for wear (bearings) You may need a new mandrel assembly.. Does it rub a flat spot on the belt before it...

Thanks for the piece of mind. It starts first pull like it should and runs fine. It did die on me once yesterday when I let it idle for a minute so I thought I’d better see if anything has changed over the years. I really appreciate the reply. Thanks again.

Hello everyone. I’m new to the forum. I look forward to getting to know y’all. Here’s my question. I own a25 year old FS 76 and just bought a new fs70. It’s had a few tanks of fuel ran through it and was raved high a few times. Today I had a thick patch I wanted to knock down so I took the new...
