Ugly ? That is one finely carfted machine! She may be ugly but shes a hard workin HO

That instills a lot of confidence dont it! Hell, we dont even know what it is, but we can tell ya how to fix it! :oops: actually the the usual principles are the same on any motorized contraption. We have specialsts in all different machines. Stay tuned and our chinese kart guy will check in soon.

Yeah! What is it? My crystal ball is offline....

Theres not much to adapt (famous words). I'll be replacing a 12 hp vertical with a 14 hp. The engine has to be vertical cuz the transaxle also has a vertical shaft so a bit of #40 chain a coupla sprockets and time and more time, and there it is. I really have everything in there for normal...

Naw! The NAG (naughtagator) has a ancient briggs flathead. It runs fine on 60psi compression and an occasional few ounces of oil. Im looking for an emergency backup. The NAG is the workhorse of the maintnance department here @ MTL. It is a major inconveniance when it is out of service. I might...

All i can find is the emmissions BS sticker Where Kibota claims ownership contrary to the bar code sticker, where Kawasaki claims ownership. The EBS sticker calls displacement 423cc. 14 hp, pressure oiling, but no filter.

About once every millennium I get lucky and things go as hoped! Today was that day! The engine from the above wreck was given a few minutes of attention, to see if it is worthy of one of the coveted indoor storage spots to wait out its calling. After a little cleaning and field mouse habitat...

Sir? Who the hell is sir? thanks anyway! I dont know the model it was is rough shape, The transaxle was salvaged for the naughtagator upgrade. My scrap metal guy has hauled it away.

So with the key on it energises pulls the pin thingy down and opens the main jet, correct? So if l were to pull the pin out and cut it off, no fuel shut off? I did that and put it back to plug the hole til l find the proper bolt.

Full story: It is a mower engine off a ridem mower. 14 hp vertical shaft. I've been trying to ID this thing without the usual post with one worthless pic Here bees what l know. It was salvaged from a Kubota mower. There issa sticker on the engine with the name Kawasaki Heavy Industried. Nothing...

I wish your super intelligent people would stop showing our California wannabes how to f**k things up. No! Wait! how to help us!

interesting. Its outta here!

steel wheels work without a mile of runout? So steel up front, plastic rear? with a lot of patience and some shims maybe ya can get the rotor/sprocket trued up?

Thats the only reason its needed, looks like..

I was surprised to see it shorted also it has to be a fuel shut off. It has a pointed end that fits nicely in the main jet. I'm thinkin it should run without it. Well actually with it to plug the hole, but with the little brass pin removed. maybe itsa safety (idiot) switch? Tryin to figger why...
