Compact 12V starter motor built to replace Kawasaki/Cub Cadet part numbers 21163-0749, 21163-0711, 21163-0714, 21163-7035, 21163-7034 and 21163-0722 for compatible V-series mower engines.

If your mower won't crank or is slow to turn over, this KEDAKEJI replacement starter is engineered to match the fit and function of the original Kawasaki units listed above. Designed for popular Cub Cadet and Kawasaki V-twin engines such as FS541V, FR600V, FR691V, FR730V, FR651V and FS481V, the unit uses a 12-volt electrical system, counterclockwise rotation and a 10-tooth pinion to engage the flywheel correctly. All components are inspected before shipping so you receive a ready-to-install assembly that aims to restore reliable starting without modifying the engine or wiring.

Will this starter physically fit my Kawasaki or Cub Cadet engine?

Yes — the KEDAKEJI unit is made to the same mounting pattern and pinion specifications as the OEM starters it replaces. Before ordering, confirm your engine model and the OEM part number stamped on your old starter or in your equipment manual. A correct match ensures bolt holes, shaft position and electrical terminals align with your mower.
