Fuel Pump Compatible with Kohler 17HP-27HP KT715 KT725 Kawasaki FR651V FR691V FR730V John Deere LG265 S240 X300 Cub Cadet XT2 GC135 GC160 808492 Yamaha Ezgo Golf Cart Mikuni Lawn Mower Tractor Engine

What It Is

This is a replacement pulse-style fuel pump designed to deliver a steady fuel flow from the tank to the carburetor on small engines. It’s intended for riding mowers, zero-turns, and utility tractors with Kohler or Kawasaki V-twin engines, as well as some golf carts and generators.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your engine model and OEM part number. This pump directly replaces Kohler 808492 and Cub Cadet 759-3849, and is listed for Kohler KT715–KT745, Kawasaki FR651V–FR730V, and John Deere LG265/S240/X300, Cub Cadet XT2/GC135/GC160, plus Yamaha/Golf Cart applications.
What to check:

• Engine model number (stamped on valve cover or blower housing)
• Fuel line diameter (typically 1/4” barb fittings; verify your hoses fit snugly)
• Pulse line connection – must be routed to crankcase or valve cover pulse port (not present on all engines)
• Physical dimensions: approx. 3.5” x 2.5” x 2” – ensure clearance in your mounting location

Not compatible with gravity-feed systems or engines without a pulse port (e.g., older single-cylinder Kohlers).

Key Things to Know

• Quality: Aftermarket part, not OEM. Most users report it works well for 1–3 seasons; some note failure within a year if used with ethanol-blended fuel.
• Installation: Easy (30 minutes) – disconnect battery, swap fuel and pulse lines, mount with supplied bracket. No special tools needed.
• Common gotcha: Pulse line must be airtight. A cracked or loose line causes no fuel delivery. Also, ensure the pump is mounted below the fuel tank or at same level.
• Fuel pressure: Pulse pumps produce low pressure (1–3 PSI). Do not use with electric pump or high-pressure carburetors.

Should You Buy It

If you need a quick, budget-friendly fix for a failed fuel pump on a common Kohler/Kawasaki V-twin mower, this is a solid option. It’s not built for heavy commercial use or ethanol-heavy fuel, but for homeowner maintenance it’s a reliable, easy replacement. Skip it if you want OEM longevity or have a non-pulse engine.
