@@mehlsmountaingarage Thank you. Connector looks good but the gauge goes up faster than it used to. It only goes up to the 3/8 mark though. Relay seems to work too. I just don't know if I should be concerned or not.
So glad it helped, and you are keeping that mower going! Sharpening the blades is good to do periodically to keep the grass cut clean. I sharpen mine once or twice before I bend my blades, as I have alot of dead branches and rocks around my property and normally just run them over since I can't see them sometimes, haha.
I have used the 3m wipes, though they can leave streaks. I'm trying the meguiars UV spray this time. But to be honest, I usually use a 2K high solids clear.
Sorry for the delay, here is the information I have: 1984 to late 1996: Kawasaki engines w/the 2 part transmission/differential rotate Counterclockwise. 1997 to late 2013: Kawasaki engines w/Unitized transaxles rotate Clockwise. 2014 to present: Subaru engines w/Fuji transaxles rotate Counterclockwise. Hope this helps.
Great video,and great little motors.....your title says yamaha, and i guess you know by now its a kawasaki motor 😁 good idea putting an oil pressure gauge on it.
Finished the offset dowels and runout check a few days ago. My brother got the trans in, we have to get the driveshaft now. it'll be running down the road soon. Power Tour 2024 in quickly approaching! We are leaving from South Central PA, so it will be a haul.
The upstream o2 sensor is in the exhuast manifold (firewall side of the engine) of the 2.2 and 2.4L, not sure of the 2.0. It's pretty easy to get to from underneath the vehicle. The downstream is after the catalytic converter, but before the resonator. Look at this link for a service manual pic, post #3, www.chevyhhr.net/forums/problems-service-repairs-42/o2-sensor-locations-39570/#post621144 Hope this helps.
Whoever orders from the link won't get these halo led lights. I've ordered from the link provided, twice now and it's not the halo design like in this video. I've looked everywhere for halo low beam led lights for DS with no luck😩
This is why I have always used propane torpedo heaters. Those kerosene heaters have all that drama just to run with the photo sensor, air pump, and Kerosene storage. Granted the new kerosene multifuel heaters now have electronic ignition with no spark plug and brushless fans etc I get that. For me, propane is a much more maintenance free system and a cleaner sysytem.
Heck yeah, I agree. This is something I've had hanging around for years and I'm using as a temp heating source for the new shop till I install a permanent solution. Propane is definitely cleaner for running in a building like this.
For this rebuild I used this kit www.psep1.biz/Kawasaki-Rebuild-Kits/kawasaki-fe290d-standard-size-ultimate-rebuild-kit.asp but the crank was not correct, I had to modify it for the clutch as I stated in the video. You can get the correct crank with the taper, but it is 6-700 bucks. This website also sells a kit without the crank if you don't need it.
If you are looking to use the actual flexseal caulk, I suppose it would work. I haven't tried that product in this application, but in others it has worked well.
Just finished doing the rear bushings on my 2009 club car carryall 252. Just got the front end bushings in yesterday and was looking how to take that front end apart. Thanks for the tips. King pins look OK on mine, only 400 hrs on cart.
Yes it does. From what I gather, the 2004 and up model year used the sealed hub bearings with the plastic cap, which is a different spindle and hub than the 2003 and down with the tapered bearing and metal cap. The OEM part numbers for the 1981-2003 DS and PS Spindles are 1010348 and 1010347 respectively. While the 2004 and up OEM part numbers for the DS and PS spindles are 1023542-03 and 1023541-03 respectively. I haven't verified if the spindle height and bushing diameter are compatible with the king pin though, some more research would have to be done.
Unfortunately I do not have any spares. These engines are hard to come by in my area. The best bet would likely be to search eBay and Facebook Marketplace for one. Even a whole cart for cheap with a running engine would work.
