TG1860g/FD590V-ES08 Carb Question
- Thread starter jrossi90
- Start date
A lot of the John Deere equipment used the same engine. 345 garden tractor comes to mind as does the 285 garden tractor, among others. So there's a good possibility that a carburetor for a 345 will interchange. Try Deere part number AM122617. That is a number that came to mind, OTOH, and going off of my aging memory.
Kubota no longer supports Kawasaki engines; any Kawasaki engine parts that were once available through the Kubota dealer network are listed as "no longer available" through Kubota, so you have to get them from a Kawasaki engine dealer. When sourcing any Kawasaki parts from a dealer, you want ALL of the numbers off of the engine. FULL (not partial) model and serial numbers specifically.
Example: Model FC501V-BS00 and serial FC501VB23498 (etc).
When the Z122RKW-42 came out a few years ago, I was looking up an air filter for it and was quite surprised to find that it showed to be "no longer available"--as listed by Kubota's dealer system. A 1 week old mower and NLA. Since then, Kubota's updated their listing (at least through the dealer system) to where you point/click an engine part and it takes you directly to the Kawasaki system to look up the part. However, some of the older equipment, that's not the case, and a lot of times the dealer will just say "tough luck", perhaps because they're either too lazy to do the leg work, or they simply don't know....OR they're not a kawasaski engine dealer. All 3 are too common, in my opinion, particularly the first two.

I have had good lock with an on line place called carbhub
You should be able to find the manufacturer name and number on the existing carburetor and then google it with that information.
You should be able to find a replacement online.

It is on the top right hand side on the far side in your picture. In the bottom of the sideways “u” shaped silver piece. The end of the screw presses against the golden colored tab that is showing in the picture
That is the idle adjustment screw.
If you are looking for the idle jet adjustment screw, I’ll look into that if needed
