It won't start with it unplugged. Should it start with it unplugged. It doesn't! What thread size so I can maybe plug the hole and see if runs.

I am hoping. I ordered one.

The wire has 12volts. I ran a now wire from the battery just to double check the switch. Got the same results. Clicking and humming sound. After it is on for 20 or 30 seconds it stops making the noise. Weird huh . I will order a new solenoid and give it a go. I am running if options!

Thank you I will give it try.

How do you check the ground on a carb actuator or solenoid ?

Adding some new information. I had posted previously about a clicking sound coming from the engine some where but could not locate it. I finally found it. It is the electric actuator that is in the back of the carburetor. When I unplug it the clicking stops. Is it normal for it to click. I...

Thank you very much. Correct it does start for a second. I have removed the discharge line from the fuel pump and turned the engine over and fuel pumps out at a good rate.

bump

having not start and run issues again. Changed fuel, filters checked all safety switches? How do I check the ignition module? Or does the mower have an ignition module or just ignition colis?

what does this mean? How does it run or sound?

Thank you,

Well, Bad news. The mower has quit again. I have several questions. I have changed the filter and fuel again, the fuel runs freely from the hose and filter but changed them anyway. How can I check the fuel pump? Is there a way to test it? I can blow thru the fuel filters with very little...

Have you changes the oil for the HYDRO's? Check for low oil or air in the lines.

Thank you, I finally got it running, have mowed the lawn one time , Ran out of gas and thought the problem was back , but thank goodness it just need some fuel. Solution!!! Not exactly sure, drain fuel tanks and flushed drained again, cleaned carb and changed the fuel filter.

Thanks for the great replies.

Thank you

Wow. This is getting to he a very technical discussion. Who knew small engines required such high tech oils. 😂

After it cools down i will start but only run for a second or two. I'll check for spark when I get back to the mower location. Thanks

I have posted the problems that I have with my BADBOY 2009 Lightning not stating. Here is a new thread that I am hoping will get me some new help. It starts and runs until the engine warms up gets hot them dies and will not restart until it cools down or about a 30 mins to a hour. I have...

Thanks. Good information

Thanks for the replies

Thanks. They used to be good but since they got bought by Northern tools. Not so much to me.

Where do you buy your online parts other than fleabay and azon? I live in a remote area without good dealer support and buy mostly online buy looking for other places,

Thank you. Sometimes I just can't see the dollar for the dime. Lol if you know what I'm saying .

Badboy Kawasaki FD731V72106 FD731V AS09 How can I test the fuel pump. The emgine area is making a slight grinding or spinning sound with the key on that I don't think it used to make. The engine is not runnning at the time. Engine only running for a few minutes and when it gets hot or warmed...

Thank you. How can I test my Fuel pump on Kawasaki FD731 26HP ?

Thank you. Very good information

Tks

Kawasaki FD731V72106 FD731V AS09 Does this help? Where do I get them and how do I determine if it is a good one. Online. I don't have any close local store other than Walmart

What size fuel filter is on the Badboy Kawasaki FX731 26 HP liquid engine , and fuel line. I though it was 3/8 but it is not. Where can I get them local and cheap. HD and lowes and Walmart did not have them.

Sorry about that. Did you buy the same brand? Did they at least give you a good trade?

You can a good welder fix it if you still had the broken parts but may not solve the problem if you can't find what caused it. I think a new engine is around 4k! That's probably about half the price of a new mower!

Oh no that is not good. Expensive.

Keep posting please .

Thanks. Very strange I hope someone can help figure that out. Just doesn't make sense to me.

What causes the bolts to shear? Did you figure it out?

Please keep this thread going. I have the exact same issues except mine never runs over about 10 mins. Mine is a BADBOY but same Kawasaki 731 engine? Been struggling all year. Very disappointed in the Kawasaki. Has less than 50 hours!

Actually zinc has been reduced in the new auto engine oils for EPA reasons but it should be used about 1200 if you can get it. You can always just change your oil sooner if you are concerned about loosing the TBN in you oils

any update on the fix for this/ thank you

Any updates on this thread. i would like to know more

Thank you. I am afraid you are correct. But at an old person I am no longer about to perform such task. I don't even think I can just remove and install a new carb.

Can someone direct me to a video or method to rebuild or replace the carb on a 26 HP liquid cooled Kawasaki. It apparently had some bad fuel in it and even though it has been drained and refilled with fresh gas the engine will not stay running only starts and runs a very short time. Is there...

I am posting the noise that comes from the engine area with the ignition on. Not start mode yes on. In real life it is not the loud. It is actually pretty we quite. Any ideas as to what it could be,,? It stops after 10 or so seconds. Could it be a water pump,,? I couldn't post the audio...

Drained both tanks add new gas. Ran about 10 mins then the same issue, starts for a second then dies. With full choke. Stuck out in yard now. If someone steals it I how they can keep it running! 😂
