That's what happens when u were doing head work for people haaaaaaaaaaa. That's what happens when u can't get the heat out the heads. If u think that's bad wait until that Kawasaki gets about 200 hrs.

You fucking idiot that is a stock set off heads that were brought to jamie b to port I don't do head work I have a machinist that decks heads that's it get your facts strait douche bag also explain all the valve failures , sump covers and blocks that briggs has had crack and I'm not talking about modded motors stock motors have failed a lot with briggs so go ahead know it all reply to that including engines you sent to Cody that were fucking garbage

Y'all start another thread. How about that

i will run first sea trail with kawasaki today hopefully got a few things to wrap up and she is ready to hit the water first run will be stock engine with carb and exhaust im running an 18/54 center console i will run it with carb only till teal season ends then i will add cam and run it again and the last thing i will do is heads so i will record each stage and rpms and speeds hoping to see some good numbers any body wiyh this size boat ever run carb only and might have some honest accurate speeds

I'm curious also. I never ran mine bone stock. The stock heads and cam are actually pretty good. So just carb and exhaust will be a good test.

Lee's impressed me bone stock. Wasn't expecting it to pull from the bottom like it does until we saw what the factory cam profile was...

i would think 30mph should be close maybe 29 i know with briggs heads & exhaust it ran 29 / 30 so ill be satisfied with 29 on the first run

Pay attention to the hole shot, it likes low and mid better than Briggs. I'm certain it would not be as affected by extra weight as the stock Briggs is. That's where we noticed it the most on Bugs barge.

I'm gonna take a guess here and say 27-29 carb gave a bit but your exhaust will help too. Boodrow's all over thirty with 17x54 and his junk but his heads have been worked mildly.

Ran it in rain it needs different needle just as it broke 29 it ran out of gas pumped bubble started back up put it in corner and again as it hit 29.3 out of gas repeated this a few times it was getting dark will change needle and try again tomorrow this is carb and exhaust only on a 18/54

That's what I'm talking bout. Fairly large hull CC with just carb and exhaust, stock heads and stock cam, good numbers.

On WMA's the legal HP rating is 36. What are y'all gonna do about these 37's y'all are running?

Buy a 34 sticker they are really the same block comes in 31 34 35 37 hp

They are actually referred to as 35 hp on most sites

I'm confused.

No. I was just saying that the motor jeramiah has is a 37 and wma legal rating is 36. He said it's the same block as a 35, but it's still a 37 so it would still be illegal.

Good thing all the mod motors running WMAs only make 36 horsepower...

Who cares if it's illegal? Throw a 34 sticker on that bitch. It's not a very complicated predicament.

Throw this is the mix. The Kawasaki FX models (4 total) 921 and 1000 are the same (999cc) and vary from 31hp to 37hp depending on carb or DFI and they dont have a horsepower sticker on them

Read below. This is the carb model that we have. It states 35 hp. FX1000V



Now look at this one. Same everything except DFI. It states 37 hp FX1000V-DFI

I doubt it I think they just jumping on the bandwagon like the EFI guys did and it didn't outperform a briggs with a carb so they trying something else

Everytime y'all abbreviate with "KAWI" I think of the kiwi fruit. I love the kiwi fruit.

And if you read all those mower threads, that was indeed an issue, in 2012. My engine is a 2014 as well as every other f'n commercial mower. Go to any reviews site on mowers and just about everyone on those high end mowers have a Kawasaki. It's ok, bad mouth the motor as much as you want, but deep down, your wishing they made it in a horizontal.

How you gonna pass me when you can't pass Jerimiah.
