looking for carburetor model for fs481v-cs30-r

[blahblah1212]

Can't find any reference for fs481v-cs30-r, serial number Fs481vd75999. Can anyone assist?

Carburetor number is 15004-1077.
Tip: all Kawasaki carburetor part numbers start with 1500. It you look at the top of your carburetor, it will have 41077 engraved. Add 1500 to get 150041077.
Two venturi carbs will have the whole number engraved.

Awesome, thanks for the quick response!!

for reference, should I have been searching under a different engine model number? I couldn't find any fs481v model numbers that had "-cs30" in it.

You can search any S30. The A, B or C in this case, is just the revision of the S30 spec. So C is the third revision of the spec.

Then why am I coming up with a different carburetor pn if it is only the revision level different?


But thanks for the tip info in the engravings.

Great point @StarTech , this would be one for Kawasaki as to what the difference is. The serial number listed does take the number I specified.

@StarTech again, good catch. Here’s the deal from a contact at KMC. The newer -1077 part number is due to an emission change. The older -0822 is compliant until inventory is used up. Grandfathered in other words. When stock is exhausted, -0822 will sub to -1077. So, @blahblah1212 , either part will work just fine. Be careful of the cheaper aftermarket carbs. Price is great but you get what you pay for.
