Product Overview

This counterclockwise 12V starter is used on many Kawasaki V-twin mower engines. Engine family alone is not enough—match the original number, 10-tooth gear, rotation, mounting holes, and nose length.

Why owners usually reach this point: A slow crank with a known-good battery, grinding at the flywheel, or a starter that only turns after tapping can point to worn brushes, bushings, or drive gear inside the starter.
