That part where the drain plug just twisted right off must be CGI.

I have this exact mower and love the kawasaki engine. From my experience i would install a metal elbow coming from the engine to the rubber oil line out the back. Mine kinks from the 90 degree turn it has to make. That kink will eventually cause a hose fail for me one day.

My Kawasaki engine 730 V was backfiring bad from my Brand New..Husqvarna mower.. Parked in the garage and decided to check the spark plugs.. Found one plug
.025 and the other at .026 manufacturer recommends .030.. the backfire was so loud it sounded like gun fire?.. did this ruin my brand new mower?. thanks.

Help me with the site to buy the tune up kit urgently for my husqvarna z254f, it runs on a kawasaki engine?
I need everything in the kit listed in the video

[samuelasamoah]

Do all kawasaki engines use the same tune up kit?

Do you screw cap down to check oil?? Or just set it down without screwing it in?

[Jasongfrank]

So how do you replace the shitty plastic drain valve when it melts out, and there is not enough clearance to thread in the replacement one?

I'm confused.
I just got an ariens ikon XD 42 with Kawasaki fr600 engine.
Do I need to do an oil change a 5 or 10 or whatever hours as a break in oil change?
Manual doesn't state it besides change at 100 hours

On the 730 24 horse KAW motor my specs say to change for the first time at 25 hours, is that correct? Also to check the oil level do you screw the dip stick in all the way or just seat it then check? Thanks.

What is the initial break in period for the Kawasaki engines?

[blueboat]

I paid extra to have a Kawasaki motor. It will not let me down.

No mention of the size of wrench to take the plug off

[kodyschumacher]

My Kawasaki won’t start until the oil is changed but I just changed it

[pcollector]

He used 2 open end wrenches to tighten the drain plug to 61 inch pounds?! What? No torque wrench available? Ha!

[ntom]

My Kawasaki FS 730 V is a royal pain in the balls to change the oil. Impossible to change the filter without getting oil all over the place. And I hate the drain valve also it's made of plastic and it started to leak after two years and I had to replace it. Not an easy chore .

like how they cut the scene where the oring was about to be a biatch.

Maintenance for this engine is really nuts. Need to adjust valve settings? What kind of POS engine is this? that's way beyond maintenance. That's periodic engine rebuild
