Welcome aboard & Congrats..

Many years ago neighbor was throwing out a very old Honda FG-100, which sat in back of his shed for over 15 years & old when he put it up . I said I'll take it & see if I can get it going. If not I'll pitch it out. Anyhow, after all new fuel lines & cheap $9. chinese carb. It still runs so...

Down the break - in path..

That is definitely TOO tight. That online spec is NOT correct. I spoke to a Kawasaki Tech on my previous Kaw engine about this specifically ... True spec is .004 - .006. Re-adjust to intakes @ .004 or .005 & Exhausts @ .005 or .006

I'm leaning to valve lash set too tight.

there ya go..

Might wanna test out a Toro w/ "MyRide" technology. That has settings to float the operator.

Here in Deep South we run 20w-50 K-tech oil (under warranty) your area may differ.

Also you can test your non-ethanol gas.

Here in deep South my Scag Dealer (after Kawasaki update) said to use only 20w-50. So I do. & my former 2014 Kawasaki manual DID list an early 8 hour oil change. Now my 2021 Kawasaki manual does not. But I did it anyhow. My thing is building Harley engines. So I know it's best to do early...

All Kawasaki parts used, except the 4x4 block of wood to make it bullet proof. And the housing /rain cap were used off eBay. the Filters were NEW & OE Kawasaki., FR to FX Air Box mod https://www.lawnmowerforum.com/showthread.php/52096-Kawaaski-FR651V-FX-air-box-conversion

They make solar powered battery tenders. Just need some sunlight.. I use Battery MINDers* on my stuff..

That feebay kit mounts to the "PLASTIC" blower housing. How long do you think that's gonna last before it cracks ?

nope.

?

OK then

Cool Beans !!

Got a friend that put a HD 45" Flatty on his mower, & a snow plow on in winter.

But which engine ?

You mean like my HD Flathead ?

Everything is more expensive...................

Rule out the inexpensive items first.

Yep hard to find.

Why not, they are so cute.

Well after airing my tires to spec, I took my Z off the wheel dolly's & have it ready for action, I believe. Which may be sooner than usual.

Seen a couple between Marketplace & then Evilbay.

You decide..

A neighbor regularly blows his saw dust from his wood working into his lawn. I recently saw the Termite exterminator truck there treating for termites.. Coincidence ? IDK..

Good question.

Good question.

Go for it.. The oil threads do tend to have extremes in different directions. It is certainly better oil, imo. but is it worth the extra $$, your decision..

Welcome Aboard, I'll let the experts chime in hopefully soon for ya.

Welcome Aboard.

Wow !! I don't see what else could explain that..

Same said to be gonna happen here.. Arrgh.

Like the marbain steel blades on Scags. Heat treated.

That's the best beginning. Even more than one in different areas of yer lawn.

Lucky you right ?

Some have long life internal battery, so it can show hrs all the time.

I'm still running my antique FG-100 Honda mini-tiller.. Neighbor was throwing it out. I gave it some love & $9 carb & still getting the beds tilled. .. Good Luck on your FG-110

Yep. 2 qts with new oil filter.

Quite the variety to get it done.. Cool.
