A little tip on these kind of Kawasaki carburetors; the float and needle valve from a Briggs push mower (with the float type carb) will fit into these and work perfect if you happen to need one. The float will need just a very little shaved off with a razor knife where it fits in between the two pedestals that hold the float. If you go buy a Kawasaki float they are around $30 and the needle valve is $15 or so.

My 42in exmark was running horrible. I watched your video and fixed it right up. Took me about an hour to remove carb clean out with carb clean spray and air. Started after three pulls. Now it starts first pull and runs like new. Thank you for the help and prayers for your family.

Thanks guy, you saved my life. I was unable to find the disassebling procedure and didn't want to ruin the gaskets doing something wrong.

Thank You for the video, my Xmark with this motor would start but choke down like it was out of gas or had water in the gas. I watched your video within a few minutes found my problem, the choke was closed , I opened it with my finger and lubricated it. Runs like a champ!

Hey brother, I'm having trouble finding the right recoil starter for that engine is it possible if you could take those 4 screws off the shell and show me it. The connection between the motor and the starter is confusing in the manual. Thanks.

Loved this video and watched it many times to learn about my carburetor on my machine. I cleaned the heck out of my carb just as you did but had no luck with hard starting problem so I bought a new carb and still having problems. The only way I can start my mower is with starting fluid. What confuses me is that when the machine is in the "choke" position, both of the butterfly valves inside the carb are in the closed position. Is this right? This seems very peculiar to me as I don't understand how the gas can ever get to the spark plug when both valves are closed? I am an amateur do-it-your-selfer so any advice you can provide would be appreciated. Also, prayers that your boy is doing fine.

That breather look like the one on my John Deere Z-445 zero turn mower. I assume the carburetor is about the same also. I am afraid that I will have to take it off and clean it since the mower only runs when you put fuel in the carburetor then stops when the fuel is burned up.

@williewoodruffjr1609 4 жыл бұрын

Double wide I have the same machine only belt driven. Do you have any schematics of the carb. There is a white looking plastic piece with a black fuel like line that goes in the backside of the carb by the linkages. Also there were some other tube like things that were not on my carb. I'm just trying to see what mine is missing and if a standard carb kit will come with that

There is one more removable main jet that you didnt get out below the two that you did remove . Best to have a screwdriver that just goes down the treaded hole with little play for it. Skimpy slot material .

@maddoxinc1642 6 жыл бұрын

Great video. I feel like a lot of these issues with small engines and the gunked up carbs is largely due to the levels of ethanol in our fuel. The oil industry conspired with the gov to include 10-15% of ethanol in our "blended fuel". This bit of ethanol of course dilutes the fuel you pay for, gives you worse economy and wreaks havoc on small engines and carburetors. I would highly recommend folks find a pump that sells ethanol free fuel or remove the ethanol yourself. Look up the method on youtube, its very easy to do and there are a lot of examples available on youtube. It's truly a shame that the gov would pay more to framers to grow more corn to use in ethanol despite them knowing that it pollutes more and causes fuel system damage.

Looks like this guy has not done this carb before. He kept turning and turning the idle jet which is a slip fit. He needs to read the repair manual before making a video. What a joke.
