Kawasaki FR730V-GS16-S 23HP V-Twin Vertical Shaft Engine Electric Start

When at-home landscaping projects demand your best, put Kawasaki Engines power to the test with the professional-grade FR730V. A forced-air-cooled 90° V-twin engine with rotating metal grass screen, electronic spark ignition, automatic compression release, and internally vented carburetor with fuel shut-off solenoid, the FR730V is designed to take tough residential challenges to task.

Features:

• Engine performance, by the numbers: From power and torque numbers to engine features and more, the following is here to help communicate engine performance details and capabilities. Be sure to consider these specs to help ensure the engine you’re choosing is a match to your mowing needs.

• Overhead V-valve: A precision-engineered cylinder head configuration that enhances airflow and optimizes the combustion cycle. This design allows the 23HP engine to deliver higher torque-to-fuel efficiency while maintaining lower operating temperatures during demanding mowing sessions.

• 90° V-twin: The industry-standard layout for achieving perfect primary balance. By offsetting the cylinders at 90 degrees, the engine naturally cancels out harsh internal vibrations, resulting in a smoother ride, reduced noise, and less structural stress on the mower frame.

• Pressurized lubrication system: An automotive-grade oiling system featuring a high-volume pump and a spin-on filter. This ensures a constant, pressurized flow of oil is delivered to all critical internal bearings, providing total engine protection even when navigating hilly terrain or steep inclines.

• Electronic spark ignition: A maintenance-free, digital ignition system that provides high-energy timing for "first-turn" starts. It ensures the 726cc engine runs with consistent power and smooth idling across the entire throttle range, regardless of ambient temperature.

• Automatic compression release: A mechanical system that reduces cylinder pressure during the startup phase. This allows the high-displacement engine to spin over effortlessly, significantly reducing the electrical load on the battery and extending the life of the starter motor.

• Internally vented carburetor with fuel shut-off solenoid: A smart fuel delivery system designed to maintain an optimal air-to-fuel ratio even as the air filter captures dust. The integrated solenoid provides a clean engine shutdown, preventing the "back-fire" pops common in large-bore engines.

• Rotating metal grass chopper screen: A rugged, debris-shredding intake guard. This rotating metal screen pulverizes grass and leaves at the intake, preventing them from clogging the cooling fins and ensuring the engine breathes freely in messy field conditions.

• Cast-iron cylinder liners: Durable, high-density iron sleeves that provide a rugged, wear-resistant path for the pistons. This industrial-grade feature ensures the engine maintains perfect compression and dimensional stability over a long service life.

• Single-stage air filter: A simplified, high-capacity air cleaning system designed for rapid maintenance. This setup provides excellent protection for the 726cc combustion chamber while allowing for quick, tool-free filter inspections and replacements.
