Kawasaki FX691V-ES24-S 22HP V-Twin Vertical Shaft Engine Electric Start

The forced-air-cooled V-twin Kawasaki FX691V engine features an internally vented carburetor with fuel shut-off solenoid, heavy-duty canister air filter, a metal engine cover with integrated clean-out ports, and more, for the kind of performance you can count on day in and day out. Take on the toughest jobs with the kind of confidence only meticulously crafted Kawasaki quality can give you.

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: A high-efficiency valve layout that optimizes airflow and combustion. This design delivers more power per cubic inch, improves fuel economy, and ensures the 22HP engine runs cooler during long summer shifts.

• 90° V-twin: The industry standard for perfect primary balance. The 90-degree cylinder angle allows the pistons to naturally counteract vibration, resulting in a smoother ride for the operator and less structural stress on the mower chassis.

• Pressurized lubrication system: An automotive-style oiling system that uses a high-volume pump to force clean oil to critical bearings. This ensures total engine protection even when mowing on steep slopes or operating in extreme heat.

• Electronic spark ignition: A solid-state, maintenance-free ignition system that guarantees fast, "first-turn" starts. It provides a consistent, high-energy spark for smoother idling and reliable power delivery across the entire RPM range.

• Automatic compression release: A mechanical relief system that momentarily vents cylinder pressure during startup. This allows the engine to spin easily, significantly reducing the load on your battery and starter motor for effortless ignition.

• Rotating metal grass chopper screen: A heavy-duty intake screen designed to pulverize grass and debris before they can enter the cooling system. This "chopper" action prevents clogging, ensuring the engine stays at a safe operating temperature in messy conditions.

• Multi-Stage canister air filter: An industrial-grade filtration system that uses a cyclonic pre-cleaner to eject heavy dirt before it reaches the filter. It provides superior engine protection in dusty environments and doubles the time between filter changes.

• Cast-iron cylinder liners: Durable iron sleeves that provide a rugged, wear-resistant surface for the pistons. This premium feature ensures the 22HP engine maintains perfect compression and a long service life through thousands of hours of use.

• Metal engine cover with integrated clean out ports: A rugged, professional-grade shroud built for impact resistance. The built-in clean-out ports allow for rapid debris removal without disassembling the engine, making routine maintenance fast and easy.

• Heavy duty shift-type starter: An automotive-grade starter motor designed for high-frequency use. The "solenoid-shift" mechanism ensures positive gear engagement every time, providing the durability needed for the frequent start-stop cycles of professional crews.
