    2086 Super Garden Tractor Carburetor Issue?

    Tractor is a 1997 with 650 hours. It has the FD620 Kawasaki, a twin 20 HP liquid cool. Over the years it has always run rough in hot weather, but always starts right up when engine is cold. Never a problem with winter snowblowing. Here is a copy of a thread I made a few years ago...

    1997 model with 600 hrs used on a Cub 2086 Super Garden tractor, liquid cooled twin FD620 engine model. I have owned for about 5 years.

    20 HP Kawasaki Runs Rough When Warmed Up

    This is the FD620D, liquid cool used in a 2086 Cub Cadet Super Garden Tractor. Recently, it will run rough only after I am done with 1 hour of mowing. It appears as soon as I turn the PTO off, as I am preparing to park the lawnmower back into the barn. It starts right up when cold, but when the...

    2086 Starter Problem

    In the past year I have experienced the same problem with 3 different starters. On an intermittent basis, I can turn the key and the starter will not crank. I then will turn the key off & on a few more times, then it starts. There have been times when I would then check the wire going to the...

    2086 Starter Problem Runs Continuously

    This super garden tractor has the 20 HP Kawasaki gas engine and was built in the late 90's. I replaced the original starter and solenoid about 2 months ago after having an intermittant starter problem for 2 years. Then one day I tapped on the solenoid with a hammer and it immediately cranked...

    Super 2086 With 20 HP Kawasaki Oil Issue

    This garden tractor only has 440 hours and is a 1997 model. The problem is the amount of oil that accumulates in the bottom of the air filter assembly. I have to soak it up with paper towels! The engine runs fine. I am wondering if there is too much pressure internally that is forcing the...

    20 HP Kawasaki, Oil Leak,

    This liquid cooled engine is in my 2086 Super Garden tractor with 450 hours. This year the right side of the engine is getting covered with a light coating of oil, which is then quickly covered with dirt. The dealer says it could be leaking from the rocker cover gasket, base gasket area...

    No start, Transmission Lever switch?

    Here is an intermittant problem I am having with a 2086. When I want to start the engine, there are times that only a "click" occurs when I turn the key. If I move the transmission lever, then the starter will crank and the engine starts. I am assuming that there is a switch for the lever...

    Kawasaki Engine, 2086 Super Garden Tractor

    I just bought this with a 60" deck and it is also my first Cub Cadet. I was wondering what the opinions are with this engine and mower. I think they only used it for maybe 2 model years.
