What It Is

This is an aftermarket carburetor assembly designed for Kawasaki FS and FR series V-twin engines found on commercial-duty zero-turn mowers, lawn tractors, and stand-on mowers. It replaces OEM part numbers 15004-0826, 15004-7052, 15004-0828, and 15004-0986, and includes an air filter.

Fitment & Compatibility

Engine models confirmed: Kawasaki FS691V, FR691V, FS651V, FR730V, FS730V. Not for single-cylinder or smaller Kawasaki engines.
Check before buying:

• Deck size irrelevant – this fits the engine, not the deck. Verify your engine model number (stamped on valve cover or blower housing).
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is a non-OEM replacement. OEM Kawasaki carburetors cost $100–$160; this is a budget substitute.
• Measurements: Gasket surface and mounting bolt pattern match OEM. Fuel inlet is 5/16″ barb; throttle and choke cable connections are standard.
• Includes: Carburetor, gaskets, air filter, fuel line adapter (may not match all OEM line sizes).

Key Things to Know

• Quality variance: Aftermarket carburetors often require tuning (idle speed, mixture screws) out of the box. Expect to adjust.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate – you’ll need basic hand tools, a clean workspace, and familiarity with fuel line disconnection. Plan 30–60 minutes.
• Common gotcha: The included air filter may be slightly different from OEM; check that your air box cover closes securely.
• Return policy: Since it’s a cheap part, failure rates can be higher than OEM. Buy from a seller with clear return/refund terms.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a Kawasaki FS/FR engine, want to save $60–$100 over OEM, and are comfortable with basic carburetor tuning and potential minor fitment tweaks. Skip it if you need plug-and-play reliability or your engine has hours of heavy commercial use – OEM is more durable.
