Crankcase Emission Control System A sealed-type crankcase emission control system is used to eliminate blow-by gasses. The blow-by gasses are led to a breather chamber through the crankcase and from there to the air cleaner. Oil is separated from the gasses while passing through the inside of the breather chamber from the crankcase, and then returned to the bottom of crankcase. 2. Exhaust Emission Control System The exhaust emission control system applied to this engine consists of a carburetor and an ignition system having optimum ignition timing characteristics. The carburetor has been calibrated to provide lean air/fuel mixture characteristics and optimum fuel economy with a suitable air cleaner and exhaust system. TAMPERING WITH EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM PROHIBITED Federal law and California State law prohibits the following acts or the causing thereof: (1) the removal or rendering inoperative by any person other than for purposes of maintenance, repair, or replacement, of any device or element of design incorporated into any new engine for the purpose of emission control prior to its sale or delivery to the ultimate purchaser or while it is in use, or (2) the use of the engine after such device or element of design has been removed or rendered inoperative by any person. Among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below: Do not tamper with the original emission related part: • • • • • • • • • Carburetor and internal parts Spark plugs Magneto or electronic ignition system Fuel filter element Air cleaner elements Crankcase Cylinder heads Breather chamber and internal parts Intake pipe and tube www.mymowerparts.com For Kawasaki Discount Parts Call 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 Foreword This manual is designed primarily for use by trained mechanics in a properly equipped shop. However, it contains enough detail and basic information to make it useful to the owner who desires to perform his own basic maintenance and repair work. A basic knowledge of mechanics, the proper use of tools, and workshop procedures must be understood in order to carry out maintenance and repair satisfactorily. Whenever the owner has insufficient experience or doubts as to his ability to do the work, all adjustments, maintenance, and repair should be carried out only by qualified mechanics. In order to perform the work efficiently and to avoid costly mistakes, read the text, thoroughly familiarize yourself with the procedures before starting work, and then do the work carefully in a clean area. Whenever special tools or equipment are specified, do not use makeshift tools or equipment. Precision measurements can only be made if the proper instruments are used, and the use of substitute tools may adversely affect safe operation. To get the longest life out of your engine: Follow the Periodic Maintenance Chart in the Service Manual. Be alert for problems and non-scheduled maintenance. Use proper tools and genuine Kawasaki engine parts. Genuine parts provided as spare parts are listed in the Parts Catalog. Follow the procedures in this manual carefully. Don’t take shortcuts. Remember to keep complete records of maintenance and repair with dates and any new parts installed. • • • • • How to Use This Manual In preparing this manual, we divided the product into its major systems. These systems became the manual’s chapters. All information for a particular system from adjustment through disassembly and inspection is located in a single chapter. The Quick Reference Guide shows you all of the product’s system and assists in locating their chapters. Each chapter in turn has its own comprehensive Table of Contents. The Periodic Maintenance Chart is located in the General Information chapter. The chart gives a time schedule for required maintenance operations. If you want spark plug information, for example, go to the Periodic Maintenance Chart first. The chart tells you how frequently to clean and gap the plug. Next, use the Quick Reference Guide to locate the Electrical System chapter. Then, use the Table of Contents on the first page of the chapter to find the Spark Plug section. Whenever you see these WARNING and CAUTION symbols, heed their instructions! Always follow safe operating and maintenance practices. This warning symbol identifies special instructions or procedures which, if not correctly followed, could result in personal injury, or loss of life. CAUTION This caution symbol identifies special instructions or procedures which, if not strictly observed, could result in damage to or destruction of equipment. This manual contains four more symbols (in addition to WARNING and CAUTION) which will help you distinguish different types of information. NOTE This note symbol indicates points of particular interest for more efficient and convenient operation. a procedural step or work to be done. • Indicates Indicates a procedural sub-step or how to do the work of the procedural step it follows. It also precedes the text of a WARNING, CAUTION, or NOTE. Indicates a conditional step or what action to take based on the results of the test or inspection in the procedural step or sub-step it follows. In most chapters an exploded view illustration of the system components follows the Table of Contents. In these illustrations you will find the instructions indicating which parts require specified tightening torque, oil, grease or a locking agent during assembly. www.mymowerparts.com For Kawasaki Discount Parts Call 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 GENERAL INFORMATION 1-1 General Information Table of Contents Before Servicing................................................................................................................................................................1-2 Model Identification ........................................................................................................................................................... 1-4 General Specifications ...................................................................................................................................................... 1-5 Periodic Maintenance Chart..............................................................................................................................................1-6 Torque and Locking Agent................................................................................................................................................ 1-7 Special Tools.....................................................................................................................................................................1-9 www.mymowerparts.com 1 For Kawasaki Discount Parts Call 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION Before Servicing Before starting to service the engine, carefully read the applicable section to eliminate unnecessary work. Photographs, diagrams, notes, cautions, warnings, and detailed descriptions have been included wherever necessary. Nevertheless, even a detailed account has limitations, a certain amount of basic knowledge is required for successful work. Especially note the following: (1) Dirt Before removal and disassembly, clean the engine. Any dirt entering the engine, carburetor, or other parts, will work as an abrasive and shorten the life of engine. For the same reason, before installing a new part, clean off any dust or metal filings. (2) Battery Ground Remove the ground (—) lead from the battery before performing any disassembly operations on the equipment. This prevents: (a) the possibility of accidentally turning the engine over while partially disassembled. (b) sparks at electrical connections which will occur when they are disconnected. (c) damage to electrical parts. (3) Tightening Sequence Generally, when installing a part with several bolts, nuts, or screws, start them all in their holes and tighten them to a snug fit. Then tighten them evenly, in a staggered sequence. This is to avoid distortion of the part and/or causing gas or oil leakage. Conversely when loosening the bolts, nuts, or screws, first loosen all of them by about a quarter of a turn and then remove them. Where there is a tightening sequence indication in this Service Manual, the bolts, nuts, or screws must be tightened in the order and method indicated. (4) Torque When torque values are given in this Service Manual, use them. Either too little or too much torque may lead to serious damage. Use a good quality, reliable torque wrench. (5) Force Common sense should dictate how much force is necessary in assembly and disassembly. If a part seems especially difficult to remove or install, stop and examine what may be causing the problem. Whenever tapping is necessary, tap lightly using a wooden or plastic-faced mallet. Use an impact driver for screws (particularly for the removal of screws held by a locking agent) in order to avoid damaging the heads. (6) Edges Watch for sharp edges, especially during major engine disassembly and assembly. Protect your hands with gloves or a piece of thick cloth when lifting the engine or turning it over. (7) High-Flash Point Solvent A high-flash point solvent is recommended to reduce fire danger. A commercial solvent commonly available in North America is Standard solvent (generic name). Always follow manufacturer and container directions regarding the use of any solvent. (8) Gasket, O-Ring Do not reuse a gasket or O-ring once it has been in service. The mating surfaces around the gasket should be free of foreign matter and perfectly smooth to avoid oil or compression leaks. (9) Liquid Gasket, Non-Permanent Locking Agent Follow manufacturer’s directions for cleaning and preparing surfaces where these compounds will be used. Apply sparingly. Excessive amounts may block engine oil passages and cause serious damage. An example of a nonpermanent locking agent commonly available in North America is Loctite Lock’n Seal (Blue). (10) Press A part installed using a press or driver, such as a journal, should first be coated with oil on its outer or inner circumference so that it will go into place smoothly. (11) Ball Bearing When installing a ball bearing, the bearing race which is affected by friction should be pushed by a suitable driver. This prevents severe stress on the balls and races, and prevents races and balls from being dented. Press a ball bearing until it stops at the stop in the hole or on the shaft. (12) Oil Seal and Grease Seal Replace any oil or grease seals that were removed with new ones, as removal generally damages seals. When pressing in a seal which has manufacturer’s marks, press it in with the marks facing out. Seals should be pressed into place using a suitable driver, which contacts evenly with the side of seal, until the face of the seal is even with the end of the hole. (13) Seal Guide A seal guide is required for certain oil or grease seals during installation to avoid damage to the seal lips. Before a shaft passes through a seal, apply a little oil, preferably high temperature grease on the lips to reduce rubber to metal friction. (14) Circlip, Retaining Ring Replace any circlips and retaining rings that were removed with new ones, as removal weakens and deforms them. When installing circlips and retaining rings, take care to compress or expand them only enough to install them and no more. www.mymowerparts.com For Kawasaki Discount Parts Call 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 GENERAL INFORMATION 1-3 Before Servicing (15) Cotter Pin Replace any cotter pins that were removed with new ones, as removal deforms and breaks them. (16) Lubrication Engine wear is generally at its maximum while the engine is warming up and before all the rubbing surfaces have an adequate lubricative film. During assembly, oil or grease (whichever is more suitable) should be applied to any rubbing surface which has lost its lubricative film. Old grease and dirty oil should be cleaned off. Deteriorated grease has lost its lubricative quality and may contain abrasive foreign particles. Don’t use just any oil or grease. Some oils and greases in particular should be used only in certain applications and may be harmful if used in an application for which they are not intended. This manual makes reference to molybdenum disulfide grease (MoS2) in the assembly of certain engine parts. Always check manufacturer recommendations before using such special lubricants. (17) Electrical Wires All the electrical wires are either single-color or two-color and, with only a few exceptions, must be connected to wires of the same color. On any of the two-color wires there is a greater amount of one color and a lesser amount of a second color, so a two-color wire is identified by first the primary color and then the secondary color. For example, a yellow wire with thin red stripes is referred to as a "yellow/red" wire; it would be a "red/yellow" wire if the colors were reversed to make red the main color. (18) Replacement Parts When there is a replacement instruction, replace these parts with new ones every time they are removed. There replacement parts will be damaged or lose their original function once removed. (19) Inspection When parts have been disassembled, visually inspect these parts for the following conditions or other damage. If there is any doubt as to the condition of them, replace them with new ones. Abrasion Bent Color change Crack Dent Deterioration Hardening Scratch Seizure Warp Wear (20) Specifications Specification terms are defined as follows: "Standards" show dimensions or performances which brand-new parts or systems have. "Service Limits" indicate the usable limits. If the measurement shows excessive wear or deteriorated performance, replace the damaged parts. www.mymowerparts.com For Kawasaki Discount Parts Call 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 1-4 GENERAL INFORMATION Model Identification Cylinder Number Designation: No.1 Cylinder is on the electric starter side.

The main system meters fuel to the engine during moderate to heavy load conditions. Fuel flows through the main jet and into the main nozzle, where it is joined by air from the main air passage (main air jet). The resulting mixture flows out the end of the main nozzle into the carburetor bore, where it is atomized by the high speed air flow, and carried into the engine. The pilot system includes the pilot jet [F], pilot air screw [G] (Idle mixture screw), pilot air jet [H], pilot outlet [I], and the bypass holes [J]. The pilot system meters the fuel/air mixture while the engine is idling and running under a light load. Under these conditions there is very little air flow through the carburetor bore; so little that it is not enough to draw fuel through the main system of the carburetor and atomize it. Instead, the fuel is drawn through the pilot system, since the nearly closed throttle valve [K] causes high speed air flow past the pilot outlet and bypass holes (even at low engine speed). Fuel flow in the pilot system is metered by the pilot jet. Air for better atomization is admitted via the pilot air jet in the mouth of the carburetor. The fuel/air mixture passes into the bore of the carburetor side stream of the throttle valve through the bypass holes and pilot outlet. While the throttle valve is almost closed, it covers the small bypass holes opening into the bore from the pilot system. As the throttle valve begins to open, it uncovers the bypass holes, allowing more fuel/air mixture to flow. The extra flow is needed because the engine starts to run faster as the throttle is opened. The pilot screw controls the amount of fuel/air mixture allowed through the pilot outlet, but does not meter the bypass holes. A moderate amount of air comes in around the throttle valve at an idle, so adjusting the pilot screw changes the fuel/air ratio. Turning the pilot screw (Idle mixture screw) out (Counterclockwise) enrichens the mixture; turning it in (clockwise) leans the mixture.

The valve shuts off the fuel supply to the valve seat [B] simultaneously when the switch key turned to the “OFF” position. The valve opens automatically when the switch key is turned to the “Run” position.

Cylinder Compression (MIN) 390 kPa (57 psi) the measurement to the other cylinder. • Repeat If the compression is higher than the specified value, the piston rings, cylinder and valves are probably in good condition. If the compression is too high, check the following. 1. Carbon build-up on the piston crown and cylinder head - clean off any carbon on the piston crown and cylinder head. 2. Cylinder head gasket - use only the proper gasket. The use of a gasket of incorrect thickness will change the compression. 3. Valve guides and piston rings - rapid carbon accumulation in the combustion chamber may be caused by worn valve guides and/ or worn piston oil rings. This may be indicated by white exhaust smoke. If cylinder compression is lower than the (MIN), check the following: 1. Gas leakage around the cylinder head - replace the damaged gasket and check the cylinder head warp. 2. Condition of the valve seating. 3. Valve clearance. 4. Piston/cylinder wear, piston seizure. 5.

The oil is pumped to a replaceable oil filter cartridge, through the engine’s oil passages to lubricate internal components, and return to the crankcase. A pressure relief valve is used between the oil pump and oil filter to relieve excessive oil pressure by returning excess oil to the crankcase (see Oil Flow Chart). Oil Pressure Measurement the oil pressure switch or oil passage plug from the • Remove crankcase. an appropriately sized oil pressure gauge adapter [A] and oil • Install pressure gauge [B]. the engine and allow warm up completely. • Run Run engine at fast idle speed and read the oil pressure gauge. • Stop the the engine. • Remove the oil pressure gauge and adapter. • Apply silicone sealant to the threads of the pressure switch and • tighten it, or tighten the plug.

If the oil pump and relief valve are not at fault, inspect the rest of the lubrication system. Oil Pressure 241 to 310 kPa (35 to 45 psi) Oil Pressure Switch PT 1/8 (Taper Pipe Threads) Oil Pressure Switch Inspection When the oil pressure falls below 98 kPa (14.2 psi), the oil pressure switch activates the oil warning lamp to alert the operator or lubricating problem. To check the oil warning system, insert the switch key into the “OFF” position of the engine switch, then turn it to the “RUN” position. The warning light must be illuminated. When the engine is running be sure the warning light is “OFF”. If the warning light comes on, stop the engine immediately and check the oil level. When starting the engine, note the warning light on dash carefully. If the warning light is on in the started engine in spite of adequate oil level, check the lead from the pressure switch to the warning light for short circuit and/or check the pressure switch and replace damaged part. If the light is not on at the moment of the engine switch operation, check all leads of the warning light circuit or bulb and replace damaged parts. • • • www.mymowerparts.com For Kawasaki Discount Parts Call 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 LUBRICATION SYSTEM 5-9 Oil Pump, Relief Valve Oil Pump, Relief Valve Removal the crankcase cover (see Camshaft/Crankshaft chapter). • Remove Unscrew the mounting bolts and remove the oil pump parts assembly • (pump gear, pump cover plate, pump shaft, pins and rotors). off the relief valve spring and ball. • Take the pump parts assembly. • Disassemble [A] Pin [B] Pump Gear [C] Mounting Bolts [D] Outer Rotor [E] Inner Rotor [F] Pump Shaft [G] Relief Valve Ball [H] Spring [I] Pump Cover Plate [J] 6 mm DIA Hole Oil Pump, Relief Valve Installation the rotor housing with engine oil for initial lubrication. • Fill the relief valve ball and spring in position, then install the pump • Install parts assembly in the crankcase cover.

A sealed-type crankcase emission control system is used to eliminate blow-by gases. The blow-by gases are led to the breather chamber through the crankcase and the camshaft. Then, it is drawn into the clean side of the air cleaner through the cylinder head and the hose and mixed with the clean air flow, and subsequently coming into the combustion chamber through the carburetor and the intake manifold. Oil is primarily separated from the gases while passing through the inside of the rocker chamber from the crankcase, and secondly separated from the gases in the breather chamber, and then returned back to the crankcase cover. www.mymowerparts.com For Kawasaki Discount Parts Call 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 6-8 CAMSHAFT/CRANKSHAFT Breather Breather Valve Removal • Remove the bolts [A] and breather chamber cover [B]. • Remove the pipe [A]. the breather valve [B] unscrewing the mounting screws [A] at • Remove the cam gear side of the crankcase (see Camshaft, Tappet Removal).

Learn and observe all the rules below. Do not reverse the battery lead connections. This will burn out the diodes in the electrical parts. Always check battery condition before condemning other parts of an electrical system. A fully charged battery is a must for conducting accurate electrical system tests. The electrical parts should never be struck sharply, as with a hammer, or allowed to fall on a hard surface. Such a shock to the parts can damage them. To prevent damage to electrical parts, do not disconnect the battery leads or any other electrical connections when the engine switch is on, or while the engine is running. Because of the large amount of current, never keep the engine switch turned to the start position when the starter motor will not turn over, or the current may burn out the starter motor windings. Take care not to short the leads that the directly connected to the battery positive (−) terminal to the chassis ground. Troubles may involve one or in some cases all items. Never replace a defective part without determining what CAUSED the failure. If the failure was brought on by some other item or items, they too must be repaired or replaced, or the replacement part will soon fail again. Make sure all connectors in the circuit are clean and tight, and examine wires for signs of burning, fraying, etc. Poor wires and bad connections will affect electrical system operation. Measure coil and winding resistance when the part is cold (at room temperature).

The readings should show nearly battery voltage when the engine speed is low, and as the engine speed rises, the readings should also rise. But they must stay within the specified range. If the output voltage is much higher than the specification, the regulator is defective, or the regulator leads are loose or open.

The system consists of the following: Inductive Ignition Assemblies Permanent Magnet Flywheel Spark Plugs Stop Switch Ignition Theory of Operation Mounted to the periphery of a flywheel are a pair of magnetic poles (south leading in clockwise rotation), generated by a permanent magnet. By rotating the flywheel (magnetic poles) clockwise past the ignition module on a laminated core group, a voltage is generated in the primary winding (L1). This generates a small bias current to flow through the control resistor (R1) to the base of (Q1). This base drive causes the transistor to conduct (turns on) completing the primary circuit. Current flows from the high side of the primary winding through the transistor (collector to emitter) to ground. The trigger sensor (TS1) senses the optimum time (peak current) to remove the base drive from the transistor (Q1). This abrupt “turning off” of the transistor causes an interruption in current flow which allows its associated flux collapse, and several hundred volts is induced through the primary winding (L1) inducing a very large voltage in the secondary winding (L2). When the secondary voltage reaches several thousand volts the spark plug (SP) gap is ionized and ignition occurs. The placement of the trigger sensor internal to the ignition insures constant timing over speed and temperature and prevents counterclockwise operation. The diode (D1) in the ignition shut off circuit blocks inadvertent application of battery voltage, protecting the internal components of the ignition. With the stop switch (SW) in the closed position primary voltage is routed to ground, preventing ignition operation. www.mymowerparts.com For Kawasaki Discount Parts Call 606-678-9623 or 606-561-4983 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 7-13 Charging, Ignition System Ignition Coil Removal • Remove: Fan Housing (see Flywheel, Stator Coil Removal) Spark Plug Cap [A] Stop Switch Lead Connector [B] Bolts [C] Ignition Coil [D] Ignition Coil Installation ignition coil on crankcase so that the stop switch lead connector • Install [B] face the screen, and tighten bolt (1) first, then bolt (2).
