Kawasaki Genuine Part 99999-7080 KIT. STARTER-ELECTRIC
This starter is a Bendix-type motor, meaning it utilizes a drive gear that physically moves forward to engage the engine's flywheel when the key is turned. It is the primary ignition component for many mid-to-high horsepower FH engines found in professional lawn and garden equipment. As a genuine Kawasaki part, it is engineered with premium materials like copper and silver contacts (rather than aluminum), which provide better electrical conductivity and superior resistance to heat.
Features:
-
Bendix-Type Engagement: Features a precision-engineered drive gear that physically moves forward to lock into the flywheel, ensuring a positive mechanical connection and immediate engine rotation.
-
Premium Conductivity: Utilizes copper and silver electrical contacts rather than the cheaper aluminum or steel found in aftermarket models. This results in superior current flow and prevents the "welding" of internal components under high-amperage draw.
-
High-Torque Permanent Magnets: Equipped with high-performance magnets that generate consistent cranking speed, even when the engine is under the heavy mechanical load of a connected pump or mower deck.
-
Environmental Sealing: The motor assembly features sealed housings and bearings to protect the internal armature and brushes from fine dust, grass chaff, and moisture—critical for engines that work in harsh outdoor environments.
-
Heat-Soak Resistance: Engineered to maintain peak efficiency even when the engine is hot, preventing the common "slow crank" issue that occurs during restarts after long work sessions.
-
Long-Life Bushings: Includes heavy-duty brushes and bushings designed for thousands of start cycles, reducing the need for mid-season repairs.
