    Has anyone out there had any problems with the 22hp Kawasaki engine,liquid cooled. I know of a few that seem to be losing coolant,one of them had the head gaskets replaced. Thank you.

    I bought a 23 air cool. Because one mechanic advised me that there might be more maintenance to the liquid cool. I was worried too about getting a water cooled gas engine. Thought it might over heat and lose coolent. I am waiting on the deisel exmark when i buy another one. my liquid cooled Kubota deisel hasnt had too many problem unless the screen gets clogged while bushhogging then It over heats.
