Kawasaki FT691V-AS00-S 22HP V-Twin Vertical Shaft Engine Electric Start

Durable, dependable, and designed to shoulder heavy loads, the Kawasaki FT691V engine can help you take tough landscapes to task with our patented, industry-trusted Vortical Air Filtration system, which muscles out grass and debris while you mow. Easy-to-access integrated clean-out ports are also included to help amp up maintenance efficiency.

Features:

• Engine performance, by the numbers: From power and torque numbers to engine features and more, the following is here to help communicate engine performance details and capabilities. Be sure to consider these specs to help ensure the engine you’re choosing is a match to your mowing needs.

• 90° V-twin: The industry-standard layout for achieving perfect primary balance. By offsetting cylinders at 90 degrees, the engine naturally cancels out harsh vibrations, ensuring a smoother ride for the operator and protecting the mower's frame from long-term stress.

• High-efficiency, centrifugal air intake system: An advanced cooling design that uses centrifugal force to spin heavy debris away from the engine intake. This system ensures only the cleanest air reaches the cooling fins and the air filter, drastically reducing the risk of overheating.

• Dual-element air filtration with reinforced filter: A professional-grade filtration setup featuring a high-capacity pleated paper element and a foam pre-cleaner. The reinforced structure prevents filter collapse under high-suction loads, keeping the 726cc combustion chamber free of abrasive dust.

• Large, easy-to-access integrated clean-out ports: Strategically positioned maintenance windows in the engine shroud. These allow for rapid, tool-free debris removal, making it simple to blow out trapped grass and maintain peak cooling performance throughout a busy workday.

• Pressurized lubrication system: An automotive-grade oiling system that utilizes a high-volume pump and spin-on filter. This ensures all critical internal components receive a constant flow of pressurized oil, protecting the engine even when mowing on steep hills or during extreme summer heat.

• Electronic spark ignition: A digital, solid-state ignition system that provides precision timing for "first-turn" starts. It delivers a high-energy spark that ensures smooth idling and unwavering power across the entire throttle range.

• Automatic compression release: A mechanical system that reduces cylinder pressure during the start-up phase. This allows the high-displacement engine to spin over effortlessly, significantly extending the life of your battery and starter motor.

• Internally vented carburetor with fuel shut-off solenoid: A precision-tuned fuel system that maintains an optimal air-to-fuel ratio even as the air filter accumulates dust. The integrated solenoid provides a clean engine shutdown, preventing the "after-fire" pops common in high-performance engines.

• Cast-iron cylinder liners: Rugged, high-density iron sleeves that provide a wear-resistant path for the pistons. This industrial-grade feature ensures the engine maintains perfect compression and dimensional stability over thousands of hours of commercial use.

• Rotating metal grass chopper screen: A heavy-duty intake guard that shreds grass clippings and leaves before they can enter the cooling system. This active debris-shredding action ensures the 22HP V-Twin maintains optimal thermal efficiency in thick, messy turf.
