I have a Lazer Z with the Kawasaki FX730 motor. It was surging and stalling frequently. Would run choked even with PTO engaged but eventually die. I replaced the easy stuff (fuel pump, filter, air filter) and then changed the oil and oil filter. Still having problems so I tested the spark plugs...

My engine installled on a Hustler has just over 500hrs on it and is starting to burn oil. It’s a little smokey at start up and I’m guessing the valve seals need replacing. This is my work machine so I don’t want anymore downtime than necessary but my question is: should I do anything else while...

I am looking for a Carburetor replacement for a FD731V AS09 engine. I can not locate an exact replacement online.. It may be because it is an older unit I see some Fd750V. Are the carbs the same or will it make a difference. They look the same, I don't know if they may be jetted different or...

This Mule has always run rich and carbon fouls plugs. It’s getting to where it will need rebuilding or replacing. Is there a replacement Walbro carburetor available for this Mule?

I’m trying to help an elderly neighbor get his Kawasaki FH430V AS04 engine running. He’s on a fixed income and struggling to keep up. When I noticed his grass getting high, I asked if he needed help, and he explained that his mower runs for a few seconds and then dies. He mentioned it started...

My dads got a JD 6x4 Gas Gator, we took the engine all apart because it was running bad. I think it had low compression so we got a rebuild kit with rings and pistons. The rings had tons of sludge and buildup in them. It has 4K hours on it 😦 lol only kawa could do something like that. Anyway...

So I bought this mower new in 2015 and it has less than 200 hours on it. I’ve been very consistent with regular maintenance. Last fall I noticed a little smoke on startup and it goes through a lot of oil. Is there any other adjustments for valves or something that I’m missing?

Good morning, I bought a used 150 pro-walk-behind with the Kawi 12.5 hp engine. The machine was sold as needing a carb adjustment since it would have trouble cold starting. I negotiated a good deal and have been trying to fix my cold start issues. I started by buying a new carb and following...

My mower is losing power when going downhill, not sure what is causing the issue. It runs fine going uphill and on the flat, but when I am going downhill, the engine will suddenly lose power and sometimes stall out. When I start it back up, I usually get a puff of black smoke. I changed the oil...

I’m needing some help with a Kawasaki FD620D that’s in a John Deere 425 that was given to me. I was told it needed a starter but that’s not whats wrong with it. To make a long story short the cylinders had water in them causing rust which had it locked up. The motor still had antifreeze in it...

Pulled plugs=slight dry carbon around rim, changed, checked air filter=looks clean, changed fuel filter because I had one, checked both oil levels/ good. Fuel pump new from past year. It will crank and mow but when I disengage the blades and leave at idle for a few minutes it dies then doesn’t...

I am looking for a little guidance on how the flywheel on my engine needs to be positioned. I had an issue with the engine running very rich after it ran about 2 hours, and was able to figure out I had a bad ignition coil. Had 750 hrs on the original set, decided to change them both out while...

Lost fire and need specs to check out the coil? Cant find them in a manual or on the internet?

Engine slows and almost dies when mowing under full load. It feels like running out of fuel, slows rpm and as it nears stopping may have faint, slight backfire. I replaced both plugs and fuel filter. No change. Not sure how to proceed. It happens after getting fully hot when mowing several...

I have a Kawasaki 15hp engine that keeps surging. I have cleaned the carburetor several times and everything looks nice and clean. I have also installed a new fuel filter and checked the fuel pump which is pumping a lot of fuel with the line removed. Originally the issue I was having was after...

I have a JD 345 with FD611V engine that needs a rebuild. JD says they can’t get rebuild kits for it any longer, Kawasaki says it can’t give me parts information because it is a JD proprietary engine built for JD, I contacted them to see what air cooled engine would interchange with it……… Does...

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 had a no crank issue with my RZT50 Kawasaki FR651V. It ran fine three days previous - mowed, finished, parked then filled with gas. Three days later attempted to crank and starter won't spin motor. Battery good - pulled starter - starter good - replaced starter. Starter still can't spin motor...

I ordered a rebuild kit and OEM rings had no markings on upper rings, as expected. I've read forums/ threads and most mention beveled rings in top groove. According to the manual, beveled rings are on second groove, bevel side down. Can someone set me straight on this ?

The engine started surging after running and cutting for about 10 minutes. RPMs up and down and then had to engage choke to keep it running but RPMs would still hunt and then it would die. I installed: New carburetor New air filter New fuel lines New fuel pump New fuel filter New gas Removed and...

I have 65# on the right and 130# on the left. Replaced head gasket, valve are good, still 65#. I hear a difference when cranking with each side plugged, separately. The bad side sounds like a leakage, but not sure where. Can a cracked ring lose that much? Also, pushing oil out somewhere, that...

Just diagnosed a Kawasaki FR691V with a blown head gasket. It is very unusual for Kawasaki to blow a head gasket, usually it is a single cylinder Briggs and Stratton. Have you guys seen Kawasaki engines blow a head gasket? Are all Kawasaki head gaskets metal?
