Bad Boy Maverick HD right tank not flowing

[rainman14624]

I've had this Bad Boy for about a month, and the Kawasaki died like it was out of fuel. I had put 6 gallons in each tank, so I couldn't have burned all that fuel. I checked the left tank. Empty. The right tank was completely full. Not going to take it back to the dealer until after the cutting season is over in another two months. The fuel line is hooked to the on-off valve but I haven't traced it to the tank. It's been too hot. Anybody ever experience this?

I think the crossover line going from tank to tank has a shutoff valve made into the line.

There is a shutoff valve that both fuel lines plug into. The valve has on and off. The next time I get on the mower, I'll put the selector in the middle and see if that works.

The tank crossover valve is either on the left position, for the left tank, or on the right position, for the right tank. There is no middle position that has fuel flow to both tanks.

Give us the model number and serial number of the mower. You may have a faulty valve or the wrong valve installed from the factory.
It's supposed to have a 3 Way valve.

Something is goofy. The parts diagram shows a 3 way valve but the service manual shows a 2 way valve with the on-off lable for the valve on at least the 2025 model

Bad Boy Maverick HD 48-inch cut with Kawasaki FX691V. Serial BMH48FX69105230006. Leftover '23 model that I got at a nice discount. Wrong valve makes sense to me.

Here's a photo of my valve, and it's obviously not the right one.

Actually, I would call that a typical bracket mounted inline shutoff valve. The question I would ask is if the valve is working and allowing fuel flow from one tank to the other.

That's a typical shut off valve. Take pictures of your mower, the valve picture, model number and serial number to your dealer and have him exchange it for the correct 3 way valve. With that valve, you will never get any gas from the other tank. Your dealer may be able to receive text messages and you can send him your information before going down there. This time of year there is typically a 3 week wait on repairs.
