What It Is

This is a complete carburetor replacement kit for Kawasaki FH series V-twin engines, commonly found on riding mowers, zero-turn mowers, and commercial lawn equipment. It includes the carburetor, fuel pump, spark plug, and gaskets—everything needed to restore fuel delivery and ignition in one package.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, verify your engine model is one of: FH430V, FH381V, FH541V, or FS481V. The carburetor replaces OEM numbers 15003-7061, 15003-7047, 15004-7057, 15003-7107, and 15003-7054. Check your engine’s type/spec number (stamped on the valve cover or blower housing) to confirm. This is an aftermarket part, not Kawasaki OEM—expect slight differences in finish or gasket thickness. Measure your mounting bolt spacing (typically 2.75 inches center-to-center) and compare to your old carb. Not compatible with FH430V engines on certain older Toro or Exmark models that use a different intake manifold.

Key Things to Know

• Quality variance: Aftermarket carburetors may need minor adjustment to the idle mixture screw and float level out of the box. Budget 30 minutes for tuning.
• Fuel pump included: The built-in pulse fuel pump is a common failure point—replacing it along with the carb saves a second repair.
• Installation difficulty: Moderate. You’ll need basic hand tools, carb cleaner, and a torque wrench for the mounting bolts (8-10 ft-lbs). Watch for debris in the fuel line before connecting.
• Gasket alignment: The included gaskets are thin and can shift during installation. Use a dab of grease to hold them in place. Overtightening can warp the carb body.

Should You Buy It

If your Kawasaki FH series engine is surging, hard to start, or leaking fuel, this kit is a cost-effective fix for DIY owners comfortable with basic engine work. It’s not for professionals needing exact OEM fit or for engines with damaged intake manifolds—those require separate parts. For the price, it’s a solid gamble if you’re willing to tune it.
