- This DIY video shows how to troubleshoot, test and replace the ignition coils, spark plug caps, and spark plugs on the Kawasaki V-twin engines, including the FD590V, FD440V, FD501D, FD501V, and FD611V. Check the Pinned Comment or below for Timestamps, Part Numbers, and Torque Values:
00:24 Diagnostics - poor engine performance, especially with PTO engaged
02:36 Diagnostics - checklist of items and method
03:45 Check spark with a spark tester (Lisle 20610)
05:44 Start repair - remove the spark plug (new plugs are NGK
BMR6A)
06:24 Remove the coil (8mm)
07:28 Remove the spark plug cap from the coil wire (turn
counterclockwise)
09:07 Repair option for some conditions
10:01 Bench testing the coil and spark plug cap
13:08 FSM Slide image of the Bench Test Procedure
14:58 FSM Slide images of Ignition System Circuit Diagram
15:05 New parts on the bench:
Coils: Kawasaki 21121-2083
Caps: Kawasaki 21130-2060
16:39 Install the new spark plug caps
18:09 Info on the old and new spark plugs (NGK BMR6A,
blister pack 97821)
19:50 Spark plug gap is 0.024 - 0.028"
20:26 Install the spark plug, torque is 150 inch-lbs (17
Nm)
20:56 Install the new coil (8mm)
22:14 Starting up with the new parts - a big difference!
24:52 Spark tester results with the new parts

The best explained video I've seen. The sound is very good. Most informative and extra info is very helpful. I have a GX345 serial # 105098 I wish someone had a video of explaining the wiring harness for current to electrical parts and the safety switches with voltages they should have and when. Keep up the great work.
Your site just showed up randomly and I have to say your relaxed way of explaining, troubleshooting, and timestamps make me want to work on my FD611 for no particular reason. I had no idea the plug caps unscrewed and that is the sort of thing a novice like myself would pull his hair out trying to make things work
Thank you - yes, those caps are a little different than what we'd expect! Thanks for watching : )
I've been searching for this exact video. Very thorough and added little tips. I've been working through the manual on my Kawasaki FD661. Great vid! Thank You
I'm sorry I missed your comment - yes, this was repair was a huge improvement in the performance of our JD 285. Thanks for your comment, and thanks for watching! : )
Great video, very helpful and informative, your video covers my FD440V. Thanks again
Nice - thank you for adding your tip about compatibility with the FD440V engine!
Thanks for watching : )
Great job, your videos are awesome, luv to see more on the Deere thks
Great video
Thanks, and thanks for watching! : )
Very interesting Kawasaki engine can tolerate spark plug heat range from hotter 4 to colder 6. My M113 came from Mercedes factory with NGK heat range 6 and so far I experiment with NGK heat range 5 and no issues for years, I better not go down to 4 😅
Being a 25 years old engine, just curious if they require periodic engine valve adjustment? I have a Champion generator and the owner's manual says intake/exhaust valve adjustment after certain hours of usage.
Great presentation as always 💯
Thanks! Yes, this engine needs valve adjustments periodically, too - I've read in the forums that people typically see adjustments needed every 250 hr or so.
And I agree on the spark plugs - I ran in circles trying to confirm what I was seeming with the change, but it is indeed the case (and I'm not sure when that change was made). So far, so good, though : ) Thanks for watching!
Great video How to u test ignition niter
