- As promised, this is a video following a the video I posted about a week prior about "How to Test your Ignition Coil Pack". I determined that I had a bad ignition coil pack, I ordered one, and here is the video of how to install it. I have a Bobcat Zero Turn Mower with a Kawasaki Engine, but most of them install pretty much the same way no matter what brand. Please subscribe to the ReichpoloTech Channel so that you will be the notified as soon as I put up new videos and also check out my other videos. Feel free to leave comments and questions in the comment section below and I will do my best to respond. I want thank my brother for helping me with some of the content for this video.

Best thing I have seen on you tube for my rzt 50 well done.
Thanks. I'm glad you liked it.
Thanks a million, my exact problem with my Kawasaki 31 HP Bad Boy Outlaw. Earlier today, I had determined that one side wasn't firing, added new plugs with nil results and then came across your video! Can't thank you enough for taking the time to help us. :-) Andy K
You're welcome. I am glad that the video could help. I really appreciate your comments. They help the channel get noticed. Thank you.
That was great. You didn’t rush and the camera was spot on each piece for disassembly. Damn, I believe I can do this myself
After this vid. Thanks again..... I’ll be back for more.
That is great to hear. I am so glad that it could help. That makes the channel worth doing, to me. I appreciate the comments. The like, comments, shares on social media, and subscribing, all really help this channel get found in search engines and RUclips searches. Thank you again.
Thanks for your help, you save me a lot of money
Glad I could help.
Thanks man I have a 21 hp Kawasaki zero turn mower that coil video helped alot
Glad I could help
great vid. just what i was looking for. doing my fs600 kawasaki today
alex l thanks. Glad it could help.
Thanks for the very helpful videos!
Glad it was helpful.
Thanks for the instructional video. It was exactly what this novice needed for some great guidance.
I changed the coil on a Kawasaki FS730V on a Bad Boy Maverick mower with only a couple of differences from your mower engine. On the FS730V motor the screw that holds the oil dipstick had to come all the way out. On the left side of the housing is a vacuum hose that had to be unclipped and removed. Also on the back left corner of the housing is a clip for a fuel line that is held by one of the cover screws, so it had to come all the way out too.
I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for the comments. I appreciate it.
Thank you for this!
You’re welcome. I’m glad it was helpful.
Thanks a million! Exactly what I needed!
Glad it helped!
Great job detailing how to replace the ignition coil. Based on past experience, I recommend changing both coils. I say this because previously my mower repair person tested both coils and recommended changing the defective coil. A week later, I was back to replace the other coil that had also gone bad. I had rather change both at the same time rather than have to disassemble the engine twice.
I only replaced one coil as shown in the video and as of two years later, the other original coil is still working fine. If changing both coils gives you piece of mind, then by all means do both of them. Thanks for your comment.
Thanks so very much. First time changing coils. Didn't know about the gap. Finally got it to run smoothly. Thanks again.
You're welcome. Glad I could help.
Please share the video with others and Happy New Year.
Man thanks for the tips. I'm waiting on my coils and I feel like I'm better prepared after watching your video .
I’m glad it was helpful.
Just had the right coil on my 17hp Kawasaki fh500v glad I found this video and the one you posted prior to test it. Thanks!
Justin Simpson, glad it was helpful.
Saved me a ton on having to take it to a shop! Keep up the great videos!
ReichpoloTech do you have any videos on adjusting zero turn steering arms?
Justin Simpson not yet. I typically make new videos when I do new maintenance I haven’t made a video of yet or when a problem presents itself and I have to fix something. Knock on wood, I haven’t had steering issues yet.
I have a Bobcat 19 horsepower Kawasaki and while it's running it'll act like it's choking for gas i change the fuel filter a change the gas lines you can squeeze one of the lines then all sudden it takes off again
Thanks for a great video just saved me $$$$
Tom Langenkamp That’s great.
I think I would have started it before putting all of the housing and frame back on. Great video, very informative.
Thanks. Glad you liked it.
I found the video very informative. Thank you. Would have liked to see the spark plug test again at the end.
I'm glad you liked the video and found it helpful. I didn't show re-assembly or testing at the end because I was trying to keep the video from getting to long.
Thank you for this video!
You're welcome. Glad it was helpful.
Excellent video! Thank you.
You’re welcome. I’m glad it was helpful.
I've always used a matchbook cover for gapping. Business card is a great idea. Thanks.
Thanks. I appreciate the comment. Thanks for checking out the Channel.
Thanks for the knowledge. Just had to replace mine on a Grasshopper 124V-41.
Awesome. Glad it was helpful.
great video thanks!
You're welcome! Glad you liked it.
Thanks Bud, don’t know if that’s my problem, but sure sounds like I’m heading in the right direction 👍👍
Glad to help
Great video, thanks for putting this put there for us. Question: If Ive doe all of this and I still don’t have spark on that cylinder, what would be my next steps? Thanks again,
Great video. That's exactly what happened to me! Thanks Tim Jordan Station Ontario Canada
Thank you. Glad it helped. The likes, shares, comments and subscribing all help get this channel noticed. I really appreciate it.
I have the same exact mower and I bought it for 700 and it needed work plus a new carburetor. She’s now not running and turns over on low and will idle there on low two things are that when she’s running on low the blades are spinning wo me pulling to engage them when I pull the choke to full power she will die .
Prior to this she would just stop while I was mowing.
So I bought two new spark plugs & installed them but she only idle on low & still won’t start .
Thanks for showing exactly how ya kept the correct gap .
Thanks really informative
I’m glad it was helpful.
Very helpful video thank you very much wish me luck
I’m glad it was helpful. Good luck.
Very good job
Thank you, I appreciate that.

exelent very helpful
Glad that the video was helpful. Thank you your comment. I appreciate it.
I have bobcat procat with the Kawasaki fx730v and it is doing exactly as you described in this video. Went ahead and changed out both spark plugs and both coils. Same issue, unfortunately. any thoughts or advice as to what the issue may be? bad valve on bad side? Thanks for all your videos.
Thank you
You're welcome. I appreciate the comment.
Was you getting any spark on the bad side?
Hope you all found this video helpful. If you did, hit that thumbs up button for me, please. Let me know what you think here in the comments. Also, please consider Subscribing to the Channel. All of these things really help this channel a lot.

Christopher Cattie Thanks
It was crazy that you just published this. My left side coil just died on my Kawasaki. :)
Glad I could help. Thanks for checking out my channel and subscribing.
Please share it with anybody that may find it useful :)
P where does the little wire go to
for some reason i have a Kholer 942237A motor and it is on a bobcat lawnmower zero turn commercial , and i can't find any videos on this mower, i don't know what they call my system and was looking for the how to remove the coils , you see what i did was jump my mower with my truck battery and burnt the positive post on the battery and i think i burnt my coils out 2 of them, now i had to buy a new battery and now i am replacing my coils
What about hitting the contact plate with some sandpaper to get light rust from flywheel off? Say 1000 grit. Wont hurt anything will it ?
Nope. Will not hurt anything.
I want to know who makes the tool box it looks like a nice kit for the tool box in the truck
This is a the toolkit. amzn.to/3wTGd9r
Did this fix the problem!! Start that thing up at the end of the video!
Yeah!!! My bad. I was trying to keep the video from being really long.
I thought maybe you were installing like automotive coil packs and upgrading to COP. Like on a car. I guess this engine is COP, just a more primitive kind. Good video.
I didn’t know my Kawasaki 7H721V had 2 coils and 2 spark plugs. On my it’s gotten to where it dies on me from bogging down so much when engage the cutter. Where is a good place to buy the Kawi coils?
I got mine on Amazon. Here is where I got mine. Just make sure the ones you get are compatible with your engine. It probably would be a good idea to go ahead and replace both of them while you have it all taken apart.
amzn.to/3nMp7Hc
Mine won’t even move running pretty sure this is my problem gotta test the coil tomorrow just got my new carb in yesterday. Had a bad fuel solonoid on a new one.
I hope you figured out a solution. Thanks for your comment.
@@ReichpoloTech found out it was actually valve seat moved.
@@barrycowan1997 Hmmmm. Glad you got it figured out. Happy Thanksgiving.
Will a coil pack start making the engine sputter when the engine gets to operating temp if the coil pack is starting to get bad ?
That doesn't sound like a coil pack to me, but it possibly could be. I had engine sputter when mine got up to temp when my oil level was low. Check that. Also when was the last time that you changed your fuel filter? That may need to be changed. Sputtering when it gets to operating temp sounds more like a fuel delivery or low oil thing. Check those first. If you were saying that it would sputter when you put it under load, like engaging the blades or blades and driving at the same time, then I would say that it could be a coil problem. It is really hard to diagnose stuff without it in front of me. I would start with the cheapest and easiest things first. Check your oil level, check your fuel filter, then check air filter, then move on to other things. I hope this gives you a place to start. After you do those, then check out this video I made of ruling out other stuff related to the coils, that could help determine if you have a bad coil. ruclips.net/video/JaCTgwOOa2s/видео.html Thanks for the question.
The oil is good. Thanks for your help buddy
Great instruction video. I need to replace the stator on my twin cyclinder Kawasaki engine on my John Deere zero turn mower (Z445). Your video got awfully close to removing the flywheel and reaching the stator. I wonder if you are aware of a video on replacing the stator or if you'd make video showing how?
School Channel I haven’t had to replace my starter yet. Stay tuned and subscribe to my my channel so that if I make a video, you will get a notification. Thanks for the comments.
School Channel if my starter go out, I’ll definitely make a video on how to replace it.
So I tried pretty much everything I was able to find in your videos. I have a Kawasaki FR730 on a zero turn. It seemed to be giving me “dirty carburetor” trouble. I say this because every time I used carburetor cleaner I was able to cut two acres of grass. I refuel every month and use stabilizer. I decided it was easier to replace the carburetor than take it apart and clean it so I bought one on Amazon that brings fuel pump and air filter. I replace it and it bogs down if I increase the throttle too fast or when I put a load on it. I check if both cylinders were firing, I changed the sparks, oil and tightened the springs that go to the governor. It starts and gets to full throttle if I increase it very slowly. Once there it starts to misfire and eventually die out. Not sure what to do.
Try cleaning the tops of the coil mounting post to get a good ground
I have basically the same mower. Currently mine only starts with the chock on. Even after it is warm. Seems to run fine, just starting.
dpeagles mine done that from new
Clean and/or adjust your carburetor.
@@kithoover9474 main jet clogged with trash cold start runs fine, when warm needs choke to cover for lean main operation
Mine also only starts with the choke on, but it runs like a dream, so I don't want to adjust anything on it that isn't necessary. Thanks for your comment.
My 25 hp Kawasaki has been like that since it was new, will only start with the choke on with the engine is cold or hot
Where do the wires go on ignition coil packs. This is what I have and dont understand where the electrical connections go. Its a 22hp kawasaki engine. This is the coil pack.
So how did it run afterwards
It runs great still a year later.
Make sure that the tops of the post are clean. Mine were corroded and didn’t make a good ground.
That is sound advice. Thanks for sharing that with everyone.
great video. I could have done it myself, but paid 80 dollars an hour for the dealer to do the work
It's not always that we can't do it, sometimes we don't have the time. So I understand.
Did this help with your motor issues?
Yes, that was the issue.
Great video, but did it work? What a cliff hanger.
Yes it worked. A couple of other people have asked that and said they wished I had started it up after. At the time I was trying to keep the length of the video down. Since then all the videos I’ve made about that mower, I make sure to start it up at the end. I’ve learned my lesson. Lol.
Those bolts must be torque
I wish I looked at different mowers before buying a Kubota Z726X what a pos this mower turned out to be. Only has 300.3 Hours on it and I have changed two coils, the Fuel pump, Starter, and one spindle. Cost me over 12k and I was going to trade it in and they were only going to give me 4300.00 for it. Never again Kubota for a lawn mower-Love my L3901 Tractor the mower s
Why not replace the other since it’s all apart???🫤
You certainly could if you want to. I didn’t feel the need to at the time, but if it gives you piece of mind, then by all means do both.
@@ReichpoloTech GR8 video’s, I have a zero turn with a Kawasaki FR600V that’s 11-years old and I’m looking to replace/repair/preventive maintenance to it…
Where do the wires go on ignition coil packs. This is what I have and dont understand where the electrical connections go. Its a 22hp kawasaki engine. This is the coil pack.
