In this video I show you how to install our canister style air filter kit on your Kawasaki FS engine. Installing this heavy duty air filter kit on your Kawasaki FS engine will greatly improve the amount of run time that you get out of your air filters and better protect your engine from getting "dusted". This kit should fit on any brand of equipment as long as you don't have any space restrictions above your engine. We have not had any running issues that required rejetting on any of our test machines. Disclaimer - we are not liable for any issues caused to your engine, your engine warranty, or your engine meeting emissions standards by installing this upgrade to your machine. You are installing this upgrade at your own risk. Thanks for watching!
*NOTE - We have heard of a few of the early built "new style" engines that did not have the two rubber bumpers that you remove to install the first two push pins. If your engine doesn't have the rubber bumpers you will just need to drill out those 2 holes as well using a 5/16" drill bit.

I got mine today and put it on already. Went on easy
That's great to hear. Thank you for your business!
The new bracket looks great! I have the old kit on the new engine, which requires a little bracket trimming. I'm really happy with it.
Thank you for your business!
Would be sweet to see these under the hood of a JD X590! :)
Does the carburetor need to be re-tuned ? Thanks
No you do not need to rejet the carburetor for this kit.
Does this upgrade provide the same or better filtration as the factory one? It appears to use a kawi filter but since I have a mower with .3hrs lol. I want to make sure before pulling the trigger on it
The canister style air filter is far superior to the standard filter that comes on the FS engines. The canister filter will do a much better job of filtering the air and have longer service intervals between cleaning/replacements. They do use OEM Kawasaki filters. Hope this helps!
@@PowerEquipmentMan yes sir it sure did!! I ordered it!!! Also can you address something I read? Someone mentioned it'll hurt my engine without rejetting...I assume it's BS but I wanted to ask. 10k mower with .3 hrs so I wanted to cover all my worries 😄
No, you absolutely do not need to rejet your carb to run this kit. Your engine will run great with this filter setup.
@@PowerEquipmentMan awesome!! Thank you!! I don't wanna buy a new mower ever again haha
I understand the benefits of converting over to the FX style canister filter because heat and dirt are the biggest issue for air cooled motors. When you swap a motor why not just buy the FX series? Same but comes with the canister system, different carb setup and upgraded HD starter solenoid. I run the FX series on my commercial mowers and they really get abused by the heat, dirt and dust. The two stage filter is a huge benefit!. Adding the Donaldson two stage filter to a FS is not recommended in mowing world unless you rejet to accommodate the increased suction resistance the two stage filter adds which makes it run rich.
The majority of our customers are homeowners that will never own a machine long enough to need to replace the engine. No one would ever buy a new $4000 mower and then immediately remove the engine to install a $2500 FX engine. This is for residential machines that come with the FR or FS engines with the poor OEM air filter design. This kit improves that air filter to not only get more service hours out of that engine, but also get a longer life between air filter cleaning/replacement.
It is a common myth that these kits require the carb to be rejetted, which is simply not true. Most of the people claiming that have never installed one of these kits, let alone actually done any testing to prove their theory. Although the intake tube is longer, you are dealing with a larger filter that is capable of flowing more CFM at less inches of water. These kits actually pull less than 1 inch at 3800 RPM with a clean filter. We have spent countless hours with these engines on the dyno and in real world testing to know that this kit does not require any rejetting or adjustments to the carb. We have also sold over a 1000 of these kits for the FR and FS engines all over the world and have not had one single issue with any of them.
@@PowerEquipmentMan makes sense. I’m pretty new to carts and have a G16. I was thinking the FS motor was a swap. Absolutely unaware that the kawi FS was original equipment. Makes way more sense now! Thank you for responding back.
That theory just doesn't make sense to me because people who are running the stock filter set up are running a dirty, filthy restrictive stock filter which is making their engine run rich. 10s of thousands of them. Just my 2 cents.
This obviously covers up the inspection holes to view the cooling fins. Will the push pins pop back out and securely pop back in? How do we inspect the fins after installation?
Yes, the plastic push pins can easily be removed and reused as many times as needed to access the inspection holes. Just use a flat head screwdriver or body clip removal tool to pop up the center of the push pins to remove.
I'd like to see where these push pins are and what the cooling fins look like. 🤔
The video shows clearly where the push pins are located. This newer style filter canister will have to be removed to inspect the cooling fins. Easy task. I like this new filter system for many reasons such as double filtration and cooler and cleaner air should enter the engine. The original OEM filter system is very close to the engine and will most likely pick up hotter air and pick up more dirty particulate.
Would buy one if you had it for the FS600.
We do plan on making a kit for the smaller FS engines in the future.
@@PowerEquipmentMan when should we expect 1 for the fs600v?
I have 2 turf tracers I been wanting to upgrade this filter too
I run a lawn business for myself. I mow lawns 5 days a week. I baught me a $7,000 Badboy Maverick 54" zero turn mower. The kind of the engine that I got is a Kawasaki FS730V 24hp of the newer version of the engine. I like my engine
It's powerful enough for me. I really hate this really tiny air filter. I want too replace too the canaster air filter.
Will this canaster air filter work for my lawn business?
Yes, this air filter upgrade should work great for you!
@@PowerEquipmentMan
Awesome thank you!!!
Will you guys make one for the fs600v at some point?
At this time we are not planning to make a kit for any of the engines smaller than the 651.
Just curious. I hate the kawi intake design, will you guys be making one for the FS541v?
I have a fs600v also and would love this
Has anyone tried it on a FS600 yet? A lot of 36” stand on commercial mowers run a 600 what will happen if the kit is installed on a fs600
@@chunkymyster08 Good Question I would also like to hear an answer ??
2 Gravely dealers near me will buy these.
No warranty from Kawasaki will be a problem.
So you're basically saying if you buy one of these kits to install on your Kawasaki engine it will not avoid Factory warranty? I have a Kawasaki fr651v on my mower I just bought the kit from Power Equipment man for the FR series Kawasaki engine
@@chevyguy1128 I find it hard to believe that this would not affect warranty. I guess you could reinstall the old set up when taking it in for warranty, but the holes you have to drill would be a dead give away.
Tried to order the kit for the old style bug says out of stock
