Kawasaki FX691V-GS14-S 22HP V-Twin Vertical Shaft Engine Electric Start

The FX691V engine takes on the toughest jobs with Kawasaki-engineered power. This forced air-cooled V-twin engine features an internally vented carburetor with fuel shut-off solenoid and heavy duty canister air filter. Replaces FX691V-S00-S.

Features:

Overhead v-valve

• This engine utilizes an Overhead Valve (OHV) configuration, positioning the intake and exhaust valves directly above the combustion chamber within the cylinder head. This pushrod-actuated design optimizes airflow and thermal efficiency, resulting in a more compact engine footprint while providing reliable power delivery for heavy-duty applications.
  

90° V-twin

• Experience the smooth, relentless power of a 90° V-twin engine. This "L-twin" inspired geometry provides the perfect harmony of torque and refinement. The 90-degree spread allows for optimal cooling and a distinct, aggressive exhaust note, delivering a narrow engine profile that doesn't sacrifice performance or rider comfort.
  

Pressurized lubrication system

• Engineered for maximum durability, the forced-feed lubrication system provides total engine protection. By actively pumping oil to where it’s needed most, this system reduces friction and heat more effectively than standard splash methods, significantly extending the life of your engine and ensuring peak performance in demanding environments.
  

Electronic spark ignition

• Features a Solid-State Electronic Ignition system that ensures precise spark timing across the entire RPM range. By eliminating mechanical points, this high-energy ignition provides a hotter, more consistent spark for improved combustion efficiency and reliable starting in all weather conditions.
  

Automatic compression release

• The integrated Mechanical Compression Release (MCR) momentarily relieves cylinder pressure during startup. This allows for higher cranking speeds and smoother ignition. Once the engine reaches a specific RPM, the system automatically disengages, allowing the engine to return to full compression for maximum power output.
  

Rotating metal grass chopper screen

• Equipped with a rotating metal debris screen, this engine is built to handle high-growth environments. The integrated grass-chopping action actively shreds clippings and organic matter before they can clog the cooling fins, ensuring consistent airflow and preventing overheating during long hours of operation in thick brush.
  

Multi-Stage canister air filter

Equipped with a multi-stage canister filtration system, this engine offers elite-level protection against airborne contaminants. The heavy-duty canister design houses multiple layers of filtration to trap even the finest dust particles, ensuring only pure, clean air reaches the intake for maximum engine life and sustained horsepower.

Cast-iron cylinder liners

• Built for the long haul, this engine features rugged cast-iron cylinder sleeves. These high-strength liners provide a superior wear surface that withstands extreme heat and friction, significantly extending the life of the engine compared to standard aluminum bores and ensuring consistent power year after year.
  

Metal engine cover with integrated clean out ports

• Built with a reinforced metal engine shroud featuring integrated service access points. These ports are strategically placed to allow for high-pressure air cleaning of the cooling fins, while the all-metal construction provides superior protection against impact and vibration compared to standard plastic covers.

Heavy duty shift-type starter

• Equipped with an automotive-style solenoid-shift starter. This heavy-duty system ensures positive gear engagement with the flywheel before the motor rotates, significantly reducing "clashing" and gear wear. The robust design is engineered to provide high-torque cranking even in cold weather or high-compression scenarios.
