hello all- a friend of mine recently bought a Ferris 1500 ztr mower. He wanted to look into buying the 'fast-vac' for this. one salesman ( the one who sold him the ferris) said it wasn't avaiable due to some kind of saftey requirement or something like that. this same salesman said they were the 'only' ferris dealer around.  He was later told about a dealer less than 8 miles away after the fact.   not sure who he talked to next..but that salesman said it would be $1500 dolars ( 48 inch ferris) now heres the kicker..$300 more to install. they told him there are 'no' installation instructions so they have to install!  when I look at the Ferris site- it appears they have been sold now for a couple years, and it states 'no tools required' .  don't understand the salemans response or motive here?  is he telling the truth?  this friend is about %5 ( not meant in a bad way)  mentally disabled.  I got to wonder if he is getting wrong info here?  thank you very much for any info here.    thanks and God Bless you all-  you are super bunch here.           Gene

thanks Marty- appreciate the schematic print. I thought I cleaned it well..but will do as you did.         Gene

thanks on response Termy..I only saw one adjusting screw- tried adjusting that, did very little except when it was way out..then would kinda overload.  anyone know at what I should turn out from seat position to put me close?   thanks again terminator and anyone else for help here.

my 12.5 hp kawasaki on my mower goes into surging after 1 minute of running. I took carb off and cleaned very good but didn't take off any weltch plugs ( this right word?) thou. it seems better when I open up throttle. more noticable at lower rpm's.  power doesn't seem to be hurt at all.  is this a common thing for Kawi motors? any ideas on fix?    thanks     Gene

thanks MM and others for your help. I'll stop at a dealer next week and see what all I need.          Gene
