Compatible Models
We do our best to list all compatible models. Although this may be the part you need, your exact model may not appear below.
- Kawasaki FH491V-BS04 engine

- Select Kawasaki FH491V and FH580V specifications using 15003-7081
Product Overview
A twin-cylinder mower engine that surges, floods, runs on one mixture setting, or loses power when the blades engage may have a carburetor fault after fuel flow, ignition on both cylinders, compression, governor action, and intake seals are checked.
This complete replacement matches the 15003-7081 layout used on select Kawasaki FH-series engines. The engine specification suffix is as important as the horsepower label, because linkages, jets, solenoids, and mounting details can change. Read the tag and compare the removed unit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why does the engine specification suffix matter? A: Kawasaki can use different carburetors and linkages within the same engine family.
Q: Can this fix power loss when the deck engages? A: It can if fuel metering is the cause; ignition, compression, governor, and deck load should also be checked.
Q: Does it replace 15003-7081? A: Yes, in the compatible engine specifications listed.
Q: Is this an original-equipment part? A: No. This is a new aftermarket product. Brand names and part numbers are used only to identify compatible applications.
