Kawasaki FX730V-FS26-S 23.5HP V-Twin Vertical Shaft Engine Electric Start

Durably built for the toughest jobs on your docket, the forced-air-cooled V-twin 4-cycle vertical shaft FX730V engine features a heavy-duty shift-type starter and 23.5 SAE Certified horsepower. This is the kind of muscle you can count on through the busy season and back again.

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 architecture that optimizes combustion and maximizes airflow. This allows the 23.5HP engine to breathe easier, resulting in cooler operating temperatures and superior fuel economy under heavy loads.

• 90° V-twin: Experience a new level of operator comfort with the precision-balanced 90° V-Twin design. By offsetting the cylinders at a perfect right angle, the engine naturally counteracts the primary vibrations common in large-displacement engines. This results in a smoother ride, reduced noise levels, and significantly less wear and tear on your mower’s frame and hydraulic components over years of heavy use.

• Pressurized lubrication system: An automotive-style oiling system that utilizes a high-efficiency pump to force a constant stream of oil to every critical bearing. This ensures the engine remains fully protected and cooled, even when operating on steep inclines or during the hottest days of the summer.

• Electronic spark ignition: A solid-state, maintenance-free ignition system that delivers a high-intensity spark for rapid, "first-turn" starts. This digital timing ensures the 726cc V-Twin runs with surgical precision, providing smooth idling and unwavering power across the entire throttle range.

• Automatic compression release: A built-in mechanical system that momentarily vents cylinder pressure during the starting cycle. This allows the high-displacement engine to spin up to ignition speed effortlessly, drastically reducing the electrical load on your battery and extending the life of the starter.

• Multi-Stage canister air filter: An industrial-grade filtration powerhouse. It uses cyclonic action to eject 90% of heavy dust and particles before they even reach the primary filter, providing superior engine protection in punishing environments and doubling your service intervals.

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

• Metal engine cover with integrated clean out ports: A professional-grade, impact-resistant shroud built to handle the bumps of a job site. The integrated clean-out ports allow operators to blow out trapped debris from the cooling fins in seconds, without having to remove the entire engine cover.

• Heavy duty shift-type starter: An automotive-grade "solenoid-shift" motor designed for the high-frequency start-stop cycles of professional crews. It ensures positive, reliable gear engagement every time, delivering the high-torque power needed for "turn-key" operation.
