ALL-CARB Carburetor Replacement for Kawasaki Part # 15004-1012 15004-0931 15004-7083

What It Is

This is a direct-replacement carburetor for Kawasaki V-twin engines used in residential and commercial zero-turn mowers, riding tractors, and stand-on mowers. It replaces OEM Kawasaki part numbers 15004-1012, 15004-0931, and 15004-7083.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Check your engine model: Confirm your Kawasaki engine is an FX/FH series V-twin (e.g., FX600V, FH601V, FH680V). This carburetor fits many 20-26 HP models.
• Measure bolt spacing: The mounting flange has a 2.5-inch center-to-center bolt pattern. Measure yours to verify.
• OEM vs aftermarket: This is an aftermarket part, not Kawasaki Genuine. It includes gaskets and a bowl drain screw, but the OEM throttle/choke linkage may need slight adjustment.
• Check intake manifold gasket: The included gasket may differ from your original. If so, reuse your old gasket or buy a separate intake gasket kit.

Key Things to Know

• Quality overview: Users report it runs well after a simple bench adjustment of the idle mixture screw (typically 1.5 to 2 turns out). It’s a solid budget alternative to the $100+ OEM carb.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate – expect 30-60 minutes. You’ll need to transfer your old fuel shut-off solenoid (if equipped) and throttle/choke linkage. A small screwdriver set and pliers are required.
• Common gotcha: Some units ship with a loose float bowl screw. Tighten it before installation to prevent fuel leaks. Also, the fuel inlet fitting may be slightly larger than OEM – you might need a new fuel line clamp.
• Adjustment tip: After installation, start the engine and let it warm up. If it idles rough, turn the idle mixture screw in/out slowly until smooth. If it won’t idle at all, check for vacuum leaks at the intake gasket.

Should You Buy It

Buy this if you need a functional, low-cost replacement for a Kawasaki V-twin carburetor and are comfortable with basic mechanical adjustments. Avoid if you want a plug-and-play OEM fit without any tweaking, or if your engine has a unique fuel shut-off solenoid configuration.
