Description
Overview:
This Shaft-Carburetor is a genuine Kawasaki component designed for the FR/FS/FX series V‐twin engines used in professional and domestic equipment. Precision‐machined from durable metal with a corrosion‐resistant finish, it sits within the carburettor assembly to control and stabilise the airflow path and fuel delivery via the throttle or choke linkage. By maintaining accurate movement and alignment of the carburettor plate, it helps keep the air‐fuel mixture consistent for reliable starting, smooth idle and steady power under load. Engineered to Kawasaki standards, it is a direct match for OEM No. 160417049 and fits a range of engines, including the FR541V and FS600V. Suitable for ride‐on mowers and other machinery powered by these engines where dependable carburettor performance is required.
