Servicing a Kawasaki engine, changing the air filter, spark plug, fuel filter and an oil change. This Kawasaki engine on my Ariens Icon 42 Zero turn mower is the FR691V but the instructions will apply to similar Kawasaki engines and other lawnmowers. In the video I talk about buying genuine and generic replacement parts. If you have any questions or suggestions please leave them in the comments below.

@@JimmyTheMower Yes, after watching the video I was able to change the air filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, oil+filter and not only does it still work (haha), it cranks and runs even better than before! Sadly that was my first ever time doing any of those things but now I feel more capable thanks to you. One thing I didn’t expect was the amount of oil that spilled out when I removed the old filter. (Yes, the oil was all drained at that point). Made quite a mess but nothing some shop towels couldn’t clean up. Thanks again!

Thanks for this great tutorial! Inherited a SCAG mower with FR691V engine...780hrs... Has bit of oil buildup in the intake...what could cause? Looking to get the mower back in tip top shape. Thanks again and hope your doing well!

@JimmyTheMower Жыл бұрын

They are great engines and the one you have should run for many more hours. With regards to oil build up on the intake its hard to diagnose over the Internet. Clean all associated pipework to clear any blockages and clean everything with carb cleaner and run some injection cleaner fluid through the fuel tank / lines. This makes combustion a little bit hotter and the solvents loosen any stubborn gunk and should burn off any excess. If the problem persists then you need to dive a bit deeper. Best of luck 👍

@JimmyTheMower Жыл бұрын

Either it's running exactly how it should be or it is ruining a little rich on fuel. The same engine on mine hardly ever needs the choke unless it's very cold.

@morejelloplease 2 жыл бұрын

if you upgrade the airfilter to a canister filter, should you replace the jets as well? have you seen any issues with it running too rich or lean?

You didn't measure/re-gap the new spark plugs. The spec for this engine is 0.75mm. The BPR4ES is 0.8mm out of the box, so it needs to be closed up 0.05mm to meet spec.
