    Zero Turn with Kawasaki FR651 "Burns" Grass when stopped - What's a good solution?

    Got around to installing the heat shield, materials on hand. The end result was successful. I would up cutting an 'exhaust port' to let some of the heat/fumes flow a little better. I do like the header wrap. If I wind up destroying this somehow, I'd likely go with that solution.

    Zero Turn with Kawasaki FR651 "Burns" Grass when stopped - What's a good solution?

    I've seen the donaldson style, it seems the commercial versions of these motors come with that setup. Pricey though. You can buy the pieces on amazon for a little less, but you don't get the mounting bracket, and the intake hose will take some digging to find. I think i might try some heat...

    JD LA 145 not getting gas

    Having gone through some fuel issues on my Toro ZT here is some advice: 1. Check the fuel cap, unscrew it and try starting. The cap is designed to allow air in as engine draws fuel, if it doesn't breath, fuel wont flow. 2. Check the pickup tube in the gas tank, make sure it's still attached to...

    Zero Turn with Kawasaki FR651 "Burns" Grass when stopped - What's a good solution?

    There are a couple design flaws on this zero turn (TImeCutter Z4235). The first being the placement of the air filter, which sucks in dirt when using a rear bagger setup. The second is the muffler at the rear/underside of the mower is so close to the ground, that when you stop (say to empty...

    Kawasaki FR651V Runs then dies randomly

    Update: Fresh gas, new bushing, new fuel lines and it seemed to run well (not being too hopeful). It did hiccup once but that was it. It doesn't run well at low throttle so there may still be some gremlins...need to look at fuel pump line from crankcase to see if it has any cracks. My fuel...

    Kawasaki FR651V Runs then dies randomly

    No, the only issue I saw with it was the rubber bushing that holds it in the tank, that was cracked and not holding it firmly. That's on order from Amazon.

    Kawasaki FR651V Runs then dies randomly

    The gas tank removal was actually pretty straight forward, remove 4 screws from control panel and move aside, remove the right-side pod (3 screws), clip the zip tie retainer and wiggle it out. Dumped the gas through funnel line with coffee filters into empty gas can. Surprisingly clean except...

    Kawasaki FR651V Runs then dies randomly

    I rigged up a small fuel tank with some odds and ends around the house: 16oz vitamin bottle, some spare fuel line and shutoff valve, couple hose clamps and a metal valve stem. I successfully ran three 'tanks' down without any stalling issues, about 40 minutes total. Time to see what's going on...

    Kawasaki FR651V Runs then dies randomly

    I have a Toro TimeCutterZ with a FR651V engine. (circa 2010). This season it has been plagued with stalling issues. When cold it will fire right up with choke out, push in and runs smooth. At times it may run for 15-20 minutes before it dies. It will usually restart just fine but will die...
