    Hello, I received a gx1320 with what I believe is a FC420V engine thats in good condition. The wiring running to the starter was cut for some reason. Hoping someone on here can give me an idea where I can find this part of the harness. Thank you!

    I'm swapping out a bad Kawasaki fh500v for a Kawasaki fc420v on a 48" lesco walk behind. I was hoping that both being older Kawasaki motors that the wiring would be similar. It's not. The fh500 is electric start and the fc420 is recoil. I'm sure i can delete the solenoid and associated wiring...

    Recently I blew up a FC420V on my 48 inch scag walk behind mower. I read an article (http://progreengrass.com/repower-your-scag-exmark-toro-lesco-walk-behind-mower-with-a-new-engine/) that suggest that a Briggs and Stratton 31R976-0016-G1 17.5 GHP Vertical Shaft Engine 1x3-5/32 Crank would...

    I have a Scag 52" hydro whose Kawasaki fc420v just died. After some research I ordered a Briggs 31R907-0006-G1 to replace it. So far so good except for the wiring. I have two red wires and a white coming from the harness and a red, grey and black from the Briggs. Any clues as to what I connect...

    well, by the looks of it thus far, I feel as though I've made a mistake buying a John Deere. Lol. So at first I just checked for spark, absolutely none. Had a new spark plug, tested it in another motor, checks out ok. Bought a new control unit/ignitior, still no luck. Made the leap and went...

    Hi - I am looking for troubleshooting guidance for a walk-behind brush cutter (15-20 year old DR) with a Kawasaki FC420V AS-22 engine[1]. I'm not experienced with small engine repair or diagnostics, but I'm trying to learn. So I've probably checked some things that don't need checking, and...

    I am working on a Kawasaki fc420v-ks09 looks like it needs a piston. On further review the piston pin measured in at .7478 but the repair manual I have says that size is for a fc290... the book says that fc420 should have a pin size of .8652. the crankshaft size is correct for this fc420. this...

    Bought an old (like 20+ years old) Scag SW61-18KH about 8 weeks ago, with the FC420v (cannot find engine number other than that). Was finicky to start and stay running, so took it to my small engine shop - they cleaned carb, adjusted choke, replaced spark plug. It ran great, but I haven't...

    I have on my Bunton a Kawasaki FC420V manufactured in 5/95, according to a sticker on the engine, but I don't seem to have the additional numbers after the model number, and I don'thave access just now to the engine. Does anyone know what series of this engine was made then? I want to replace...

    I apologize if it's buried in here somewhere, but I've searched and don't see what I need. The short story is that I want to rule out the various safety interlocks and try to start my FC420v "neet". The only wires coming from the engine to the rest of the mower (93 or so 48" hydro Scag...

    I have a 1996? Kawasaki FC420v -S09, 14HP engine w/ the ACR that has a history of hurting people and cutting their hands open from the pull cord suddenly ripping out your hands when pulling the recoil. This walkbehind has been a back up for years but recently, I needed to loan it out to a...
  15. Mechanic and Repair
    All, I have been reading posts about no spark on the FC 420V. Most post describe an ignition coil and a separate ignitor (part number 132770). I have checked on my engine and there is no ignitor. My coil number 21121-2087. It has a spad lug connection on top and the white wire connected to...
