Engine Replacement

[Drama]

I have an Kawasaki® FR691V Twin 23 hp/726cc. It is on an ariens ikon xd 52. I want to replace it with a FS691V. Will this work as a replacement? The FS engine is slightly large. That is about all I know.

What’s wrong with the current engine?

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

The old engine lost compression with a bent rod.
