What Kwacka Saki you have? i'l be selling a KBH48 with a spare one to go with it plus bags of spares ine new carbs/pipes/filters etc

It's a BK53ED. Not sure it is a real Kawasaki actually. A lot of suppliers describe it as "Kawasaki-powered"...

Yeah Kwaka powered(Power head)rest is by? Lawnflite think did one and Mitox listed one But not sure if motor is decent Kwaka engine?

There was one on flea bay looked at but needed plug lead head sorting(Bare clip) and fuel bulb leaked made an offer but declined in end sold.

My one is proper japan machine.

I think mine might be a Stiga. The engine is great but absolutely everything else that the Chinese have made is badly designed and made of monkey metal. It's utter crap. I would never touch another Chinese tool. 

It's poorly balanced too. No matter where you attach the harness it's never quite right. The high post on the Husky I can see from just looking would be much better ergonomically. And talking of the harness... The one it came with started to disintegrate on the first day. The stitching unraveled on the thigh pad and the stuffing fell out within hours. The webbing started to fray on day one and since then just about every buckle and clip has broken or fallen off. The whole thing is held together now with bits of leather I've riveted on myself. 

 

Complete false economy buying it. European or proper Japanese next time.

Stiga seems another "Badge Engineering" firm? like so many

KBH is pretty good
