Kawasaki Starter Bendix Type Starter Fits Most FR / FS / FT Carb Engines-21163-0791

The Kawasaki 21163-0791 is a genuine OEM electric starter motor of the Bendix type, designed for maximum reliability in high-demand commercial and residential lawn mowers. This specific starter is the current factory-recommended replacement for several older part numbers, engineered to provide consistent cranking power for Kawasaki’s popular V-Twin engine series.

Features:

• 10-Tooth Bendix Drive: Features a high-strength, 10-tooth inertia-type gear. This "Bendix" design ensures the gear only contacts the flywheel during the start cycle, automatically retracting once the engine fires to prevent mechanical drag and noise.

• Permanent Magnet Direct Drive (PMDD): Utilizes a PMDD motor design that provides immediate high torque. This is critical for overcoming the high compression found in Kawasaki's 726cc and 800cc V-Twin engines, especially in cold weather.

• Counter-Clockwise (CCW) Rotation: Specifically engineered for the standard rotation of Kawasaki FR, FS, FT, and FX series vertical shaft engines.

• Heavy-Duty Housing: Constructed from a durable blend of aluminum and steel to withstand the high heat and vibration of air-cooled engine environments.

• OEM Precision Fit: As a genuine part, it features factory-accurate mounting holes and terminal locations, ensuring a 10-minute "plug-and-play" installation without the need for shims or wiring modifications.
