Kawasaki fs691v fuel filter

Just bought a new fuel filter and it is not the same as what came originally on my new mower. I took my engine model and serial numbers with me. The original one on my engine is a Kawasaki 49019-0031. Is this supposed to be the correct one for fs691v ?
Thanks

Is it a 49019-0027 or a 49019-7001? It really doesn’t matter as long as your fuel line fits and it's for a mower with a fuel pump. You could use a Kohler or Briggs filter for that matter.

If it was a genuine kawakasi filter it should have come in a white plastic bag branded Kawakasi with a part number on it .
If not then you have been supplied with an aftermarket filter
If the filter has a brand name then it should be a good one
If you asked for a filer to fit a FS691V then the shop can sell you any filter that fits that engine if which there would be at least 100
If OTOH you asked for a 49019-0031 then the shop is obliged to sell you the original Kawakasi part or an equivalent genuine Kawakasi part .
FWIW I never fit genuine parts unless specifically asked to do so otherwise every mower gets the same Prime Line filter.
All that is important is the micron size is near that or the original and the flow rate.
I am yet to see a filter that will not work properly
I use this particular filter because the outlet internally is flush with the end of the filter so you do not get air trapped in the filter .
This does not affect the running of the engine but the customers with no idea about small engines would ring back complaining that the filter was not full. so I changed the style
EFI engines get a finner filter that is in a metal canister
I use the same "high pressure" filter on all fire pumps after a customer had a plastic one go soft and collapse when he was fighting a fire .
Mind you the radient heat was enough to blister the paint on the fuel tank & the frame but I would hate to put a customer in danger for the sake of a $ 10 fuel filter .

ITW Fastex: Chinese filters that the guy gets by the box full. I sure wouldn’t run it on anything of mine.
Use genuine Kawasaki, Briggs or Kohler and you will be okay.

Did you happen to see the specs on that thing? Sustained 160F temps can distort the plastic housing. Folded paper elements. Not with a 10’ pole.

Thanks for all the replies. I ordered the same Kawasaki filter that I originally had, and it was a little cheaper than the filter they sold me. I always try to use oem parts if possible.

Rule of thumb with just about everything
If I make or sell a good quality item then I make sure it has a brand name so every one knows it and can come back for more or recommend it to others by name
If I make junk that is highly likely to fail it is sold without any identification what so ever to make it impossible to work out who to blame or sue ( if some one is injured ) .
Caveat to that is fakes

Do not ever remember changing a fuel filter in anything other then one of my saws. He'll even my simplicity 717 bought new in 68 still just has screen on inside of tank. My 7117 from 83 still had original filter on it. The cub zero I bought in 15 new has over 500 hours and filter seams fine. I guess running diesel farm tractors, and truck driver all my life. I guess I'm to careful about the gas I put into my small engines.

I have actually had one of these filters come apart at the seam! I think the two pieces are supposed to be sonic-welded,but one I had wasn't welded together. It was down stream of my fuel shut-off so no big deal.but I check every one now.

The burning question is where did you get it from
These should go through QC and the good ones go to mower shops
The ba ones go to the recyclers or repairers but some how always end up on Amazon & Ebay at a very cheap price .
I go through around 150 fuel filters a year & am yet to have a failure .
They come in 20, 25, 50 or 100 piece trade packs from my wholesalers and in many cases my wholesale price is dearer than a single buy off Amazon or Ebay that include free shipping so one can only wonder where the vendor ( who is totally annonomus ) is getting their parts from ? the tip ?

The ITW filter should have a black marker mark in the side. If it doesn't I would not use it. Those filters were under recall back in 2009. Either Kawasaki number 49019-0027 or 49019-0031 will work just fine for carburetor engines. The 49019-0031 is a MUST for EFI engines. Kawasaki is now putting the EFI filter on all production. Filters do matter, air, oil and fuel. If your engine is still in the warranty period, why chance aftermarket? Check your oil at each use, or daily if commercial, and keep it full! DO NOT blow out paper air filters with ANY compressed air!
