I had one on an Exmark, couldnt find that kawi spec in any other parts lookups until I found an Exmark parts catalog. Same issue with Toro-Wheelhorse (and the part needed was only ever available through Toro, and it was obsoleted, so I ended up having to repower the tractor, despite the engine being in otherwise pristine condition, for the lack of a $20 part, it basically went to the scrap heap) Seems to me that it depends on the manufacturer that Kawasaki made them for, especially if they were a custom specification that would only ever fit a specific model series, basically seems Kawasaki did contract manufacturing, they'd build to the customer's design requirements (including parts) and the rest (warranty, customer service, parts supply chain, etc) was all up to the brand the engine was built for.
