Thank you. Very good information

Tks

Kawasaki FD731V72106 FD731V AS09 Does this help? Where do I get them and how do I determine if it is a good one. Online. I don't have any close local store other than Walmart

What size fuel filter is on the Badboy Kawasaki FX731 26 HP liquid engine , and fuel line. I though it was 3/8 but it is not. Where can I get them local and cheap. HD and lowes and Walmart did not have them.

Sorry about that. Did you buy the same brand? Did they at least give you a good trade?

You can a good welder fix it if you still had the broken parts but may not solve the problem if you can't find what caused it. I think a new engine is around 4k! That's probably about half the price of a new mower!

Oh no that is not good. Expensive.

Keep posting please .

Thanks. Very strange I hope someone can help figure that out. Just doesn't make sense to me.

What causes the bolts to shear? Did you figure it out?

Please keep this thread going. I have the exact same issues except mine never runs over about 10 mins. Mine is a BADBOY but same Kawasaki 731 engine? Been struggling all year. Very disappointed in the Kawasaki. Has less than 50 hours!

Actually zinc has been reduced in the new auto engine oils for EPA reasons but it should be used about 1200 if you can get it. You can always just change your oil sooner if you are concerned about loosing the TBN in you oils

any update on the fix for this/ thank you

Any updates on this thread. i would like to know more

Thank you. I am afraid you are correct. But at an old person I am no longer about to perform such task. I don't even think I can just remove and install a new carb.

Can someone direct me to a video or method to rebuild or replace the carb on a 26 HP liquid cooled Kawasaki. It apparently had some bad fuel in it and even though it has been drained and refilled with fresh gas the engine will not stay running only starts and runs a very short time. Is there...

I am posting the noise that comes from the engine area with the ignition on. Not start mode yes on. In real life it is not the loud. It is actually pretty we quite. Any ideas as to what it could be,,? It stops after 10 or so seconds. Could it be a water pump,,? I couldn't post the audio...

Drained both tanks add new gas. Ran about 10 mins then the same issue, starts for a second then dies. With full choke. Stuck out in yard now. If someone steals it I how they can keep it running! 😂

right on!!! Speed Queen ! the old way!!

mower started again mowed about 1/3 of the lawn and then died and only started and ran at about 1/4 throttle not enough to run the blades but did gt it back in the garage. Back to the drawing board.. Looks like maybe a load of bad gas.

home depot, lowes or Wal-Mart did not have any fuel shutoff valves other than !/4" which are to small. Ill look again when I get the opportunity,

Update, I managed to get the mower started and added enough gas treatment for it to run well enought and I mowed te lawn, Yahoo.!!!
