Is this normal for wire to go through engine find like this?
It is a Kawasaki fr 730 v on a cub cadet zero turn mower..Bought it new in 2022. 110 hours on mower without any issues.

The Green wire. It is coming from.battery side . Even.it is touching the fins but where it goes to carb, it is literally going through the fins.
 
Not unheard of to have ignition or ground wires going through the fins. As long as the wire is rated for the heat, and the airflow is unobstructed, it should be fine.
You've got over 100 hours on it. The wire look OK? No burn marks, etc?
 
Thanks all, Joegreen's pic put me to ease.
Mine is exact like this.
I was doing 100 hours service cleaning by removing the shroud and noticed it so wanted to confirm. Seems like wire is rated for heat.
The wire is unburnt after 200 hours and does not obstruct the air flow so I will close everything. I replaced spark plugs as well.
