15004-0985 Carburetor Compatible with Kawasaki Specific FR691V FS691V 15004-0829 Carb with 11013-0752 Air Filter Kit&49065-0721 Oil filter

What It Is

This is an aftermarket carburetor kit for Kawasaki FR691V and FS691V engines, commonly used in zero-turn mowers, lawn tractors, and commercial walk-behinds. It replaces the OEM 15004-0829 carburetor and includes an air filter (11013-0752) and oil filter (49065-0721) for a complete tune-up.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Engine models: Kawasaki FR691V (27 HP) and FS691V (27 HP) only. Not for FR651V, FS600V, or other Kawasaki V-twins.
• OEM cross: Replaces Kawasaki part 15004-0829 (original carb) and 15004-0985 (updated version). Check your engine’s carburetor mounting flange pattern and bowl shape—some aftermarket units may have slightly different gasket fit.
• Machine fit: Works on Gravely, John Deere, Husqvarna, Toro, Exmark, and others using these engines. Measure your carburetor mounting hole centers (typically 60mm) and bowl depth (approx. 45mm) to confirm clearance with your air filter housing.
• Kit includes: Carburetor, gaskets, air filter, oil filter. Not compatible with engines that have an electronic fuel shutoff solenoid unless you swap the solenoid from your old carb.

Key Things to Know

• Quality varies: At $31, this is a budget aftermarket part. Expect thinner castings and plastic fittings compared to OEM. Some users report needing to clean out machining debris before installation.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need to remove the air filter housing, throttle/choke cables, and fuel line. Adjust idle mixture screw (typically 1.5 turns out) after install. Not plug-and-play for beginners.
• Common gotchas: The included gaskets may leak if overtightened—use a torque wrench (5-7 ft-lbs). The air filter may not seal perfectly on older housings; check for gaps. Oil filter cross-references to Kawasaki 49065-0721 but may be shorter than OEM—verify thread size (20mm x 1.5) and seal diameter.
• No warranty support: Return window is short (30 days). No technical support from the seller.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you have a Kawasaki FR691V or FS691V engine, need a quick, cheap carburetor and filter swap, and are comfortable adjusting a budget part. Skip it if you want OEM reliability, have a non-standard engine variant, or aren’t willing to clean and tweak the carb before use—in that case, spend $80+ on the genuine Kawasaki 15004-0985.
