The Kawasaki FS730V-EFI is a 0.73 l (726 cc, 44.3 cu-in) V-twin 90° air-cooled 4-stroke internal combustion small gasoline engine with vertical shaft, manufactured by Kawasaki Heavy Industries LTd., for general-purpose applications, such as zero-turn riders, lawn and garden tractors and wide-area walk-behind mowers.
The FS730V-EFI has 90 degrees V-twin design with vertical PTO shaft, overhead V-valves, cast iron cylinder liners, spherical combustion chamber, proven open-loop design, clean-out ports. The engine is equipped with electronic altitude compensation, sequential multiport fuel injection system, integrated electronic governor, compact electronic control unit, integrated throttle body, and ECU and electronic controlled ignition timing system. The motor uses a high-performance lubrication system, high-pressure fuel injection system with an electronic fuel pump and dual-element air filter.
Bore and stroke are 78.0 mm (3.07 in) and 76.0 mm (2.99 in), respectively. Compression ratio rating is 8.1:1. The Kawasaki FS730V-EFI produced 24.1 PS (17.7 kW; 23.7 HP) at 3,600 rpm or 25.8 PS (19.0 kW; 25.5 HP) at 3,600 rpm of maximum horsepower and 53.4 Nm (5.4 kg·m; 39.4 ft·lb) at 2,400 rpm or 54.2 Nm (5.5 kg·m; 40.0 ft·lb) at 2,400 rpm of torque.
