Kawasaki FT730V-BS00-S 23.5HP V-Twin Vertical Shaft Engine Electric Start

When the work gets tough, the Kawasaki FS730V engine rises to the occasion. Durably designed for challenging landscapes that require reliable power, this sturdy 4-cycle engine features cast-iron cylinder liners, a dual-element air filter, and electronic spark ignition. For an engine you can count on day in and day out, this is as solid as solid gets.

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.

• Overhead v-valve: An advanced cylinder head configuration that maximizes airflow and combustion efficiency. This design allows the 23.5HP engine to deliver higher torque-to-fuel ratios while maintaining cooler operating temperatures under heavy commercial loads.

• 90° V-twin: The premier engine layout for achieving perfect primary balance. The 90-degree configuration naturally counteracts internal vibrations, providing a smoother operation that increases operator comfort and extends the lifespan of the mower's chassis.

• Pressurized lubrication system: An automotive-grade oiling system featuring a high-volume pump. It ensures a consistent, pressurized stream of oil is delivered to all critical internal bearings, providing total protection even when operating on steep inclines or in extreme heat.

• Electronic spark ignition: A maintenance-free, solid-state ignition system that provides high-energy timing for rapid, "first-turn" starts. It ensures the 726cc V-Twin runs with consistent power and smooth idling across the entire RPM range.

• Automatic compression release: An integrated mechanical relief system that vents cylinder pressure during the start cycle. This allows the high-displacement engine to spin up effortlessly, significantly reducing the strain on the battery and the starter motor.

• Internally vented carburetor with fuel shut-off solenoid: A high-precision fuel system designed to maintain a consistent air-fuel ratio even with a dirty air filter. The integrated solenoid provides a clean engine shutdown, preventing "after-fire" or backfiring when the ignition is turned off.

 

• Rotating Metal Grass Chopper Screen: A rugged, debris-shredding intake guard. This rotating metal screen pulverizes grass clippings and leaves before they can enter the cooling system, ensuring the engine stays at a safe operating temperature in the messiest field conditions.

• Dual element air filtration system with reinforced primary filter: A heavy-duty filtration system featuring a high-capacity pleated paper element and a foam pre-cleaner. The reinforced design ensures the filter holds its shape under high-suction commercial use, protecting the engine from abrasive dust.

• Cast-iron cylinder liners: Durable, high-density iron sleeves that provide a rugged, wear-resistant surface for the pistons. This premium industrial feature ensures the engine maintains perfect compression and long-term structural integrity through years of heavy use.
