  1. What is the most common cause of the engine surging and running ruff once it’s warmed up

  2. Looking for wiring diagram for this engine FD661D, in particular, the voltage regulator. Original connector is falling apart. 6 pins.

      • If you haven’t found one yet go to Ventrac website and look for Manuel’s then go to the 4000 model tractor (it has been discontinued) and download the Manuel the Kawasaki FD661D wiring diagram will be one of the first things in that Manuel.
