Sound like idle circuit not supplying enough fuel. Try pulling the choke slowly until it levels out. If it does that is your problem. Carb needs a good cleaning.

What is an FS400 Kawasaki? If so they don't list an FS400 engine. They list a FE400 but no specks for the ring gap.

Oh OK Sorry about that.

If I were doing that I would go with the FS730 it is the same block.

Have you pulled the blower housing off and cleaned the cylinder fins? Model type and code no off the engine would help.

Sounds like a ground issue.

Model type and code would help to identify the carb. Had a T30 MTD today that was surging. Took the carb Nikki which in my opinion sorriest carb on the market. It was a night mare to get off since I had to take the engine cover, seat and seat bracket off. Bracket that the seat bracket bolted to...

Snapper use to make a mulching kit for their rear engine rider and it limited the speed of the mower by blocking the shifter so you could not shift into any speed past third I think it was.

All I haver ever seen mulching kits do is clog up under the deck and leave big ball of grass in the yard. The problem is no one slows down when they mulch. Might help the problem. Mow more often and don't cut more than 1/3 the height of the grass

You should never shut the engine off with the PTO running. When you do this it makes the PTO a generator and can feed back through the wiring harness and mess things up.

Try spraying some Gum Out carb cleaner in the throat of the carb. Could you have water in the fuel?

Did you check the oil before you started mowing and is it now full of oil.

Check the front hydro mounting bracket to see if it is broken. Also check the idler arm to see if it moves freelly and is not hitting the frame and keeping tension on the belt. Proper position of the idler arm is parallel to the frame. Spring tension is three inches compressed. You can adjust...

If the top main seal is leaking you should check the top main bearing and crank shaft for wear. To do this turn the fly wheel toward the magnets and push and pull really hard to see if there is play in the bearing and crank shaft. If this is the problem It won't do any good to replace the seal...

If it is the governor hope the shaft the governor works on is not wallowed out in the block.

Looks like it may be some kind of belt guide.

Stihl ztr's are built by Ferris a long time mower manufacture in the business.

Manufactures do not reccomend blowing the air filter out with compressed air as you can blow a hole in the paper element. Rendering it useless. Kawasaki does not reccomend oiling the prefilter.

In the shop where I work it is filled to the full mark on the dip stick. Would never do it any other way.

New one on EBay for $20.00

Great job looks good!!!!!

Is the clicking coming from the solenoid. A pto switch can cause a no start but if the solenoid is clicking it is not the problem.

If you are just replacing the valve stem seal why are you taking the heads off? That can be done with the heads still on.

Did you check to see if you bent a spindle. Something had to give to break 2 inches off the end of the blades. Could have bent the deck. Is one of the blades hitting the deck? But that should make a noise. But a bent shaft or a busted bearing might not. From the smart ass that suggested you buy...

Clean the exhaust port and muffler screen.

I think you should buy a new mower then that would solve all your problems. LOL Just Kidding

I don't like the gator style mulching blades they don't do a good job mowing. They do a really good job mulching leave though. Put a set on mine last fall and mulched up my leave and forgot to take them off this spring. Was wondering why my mowed grass didn't look good. Decided I should clean...

You would have to try really hard to damage either with this seal. It has a large outside diameter and small shaft hole lots of area to work with. But do be careful. If it is really hard to get out you can use two screws opposite each other.

I take a sharp pin punch and peirce a hole in it then take a dry wall screw and thread it in the hole. Then take a small claw hammer and pull it out. Good luck. Thanks

B&D as far as I'm concerned for the small 1/4 drive. Also Milwakee for the big stuff 1/2 drive and a 1/4 drive cordless rachet.

They make a Kit to replace all the hydro brackets as well as the brackets that hold the axles on are about three times as thick as the orignal. This is what happens when manufactures go into the big box stores the quality goes south. Check with the dealer on this.

Tiger I don't want rain on your parade I work on these things daily have installed many bottom seals in the T-Box. You do not have to take the T-Box off to put the seal in.

No the snap ring holds the bearing in not the seal. Nothing holds the seal in but the intererence fit in the T-Box. One thing you should look at, make sure it is the seal that is leaking. There is an o ring on each side of the T-Box where the pumps bolt on. Over time the heating cooling and...

No the seal is not made onto the bearing. Yes you can remove the bottom seal with the T-Box still on the mower. The part no is 788099. It is a peerless part. Don't buy it from Dixie Chopper it is $41 and some change. You should be able to get if for less than $20.

If this is a Briggs engine the model type and code no is stamped into the valve cover opposite the the fuel pump. This is what is needed.

You sdid. I couldn't get any sign of a spark, so replaced the coil & spark plug but still no joy. Even removing the kill switch wire doesn't make any difference. Terry. There is no other way to test the ign module. Once you disconnect the kill wire and spin the engine over and check it with a...

You need to learn some manners or maybe you don't know that replaying in all caps is consider shouting. Not a good way to get any help.

Try unplugging the regulator.

Throttle shaft binding or stuck.

Got one in the other day that a guy jump the seat switch with a scotch lock. Said the brake switch was new but not opertaing. He even pulled it out and was holding it out by hand. So the engine would run. Guess what he caused the problem you can't jump the seat switch like that on this mower...

Make sure the air filter is clean and the choke is working properly.

EBay and Amazon both have them 49019-0031. Just make sure they are the genuine Kawasaki or Kohler 24 050 13

Thank you for your service.

Labor sounds cheap a lot of shops have a minimum labor charge of at least one hour.

49019-0031 Kawasaki 1/4 inch. Can use kohler 24 050 13 which has a stepped fitting. Both are 10 Micro filters to be used with a fuel pump engine only. Don't buy the cheap ones. Get them in all the time where people have used them. You can shake them and they will rattle meaning filter element is...
