I've started a new project- Full restoration of my lawn mower. it's a Kawasaki FC150V.
I know nothing about lawn mowers... I got this one for free in non running state. It's probably not worth the money or time to do a high end restoration on something like this but I like to make stuff I got looking and working great. Plus, it will be a great learning experience.
Thank you for watching!

In Poland this Kawasaki engine is no one on list of the most hardiest lawnmower engines.
Best regards.

Good stuff! I like your mental approach to the rebuild/restoration. For me, the value of learning things like this is worth the cost.

I was impressed the mower deck ! Kawasaki make great engine’s but also choose really good deck makers unlike the cheaply made mower decks I usually see . A lo of people just hit the crankshaft with a hammer to straighten but I’m glad u didn’t. Interesting vid mate 👍

Thank you! Next video out will be rebuild of this engine.

How can you recall what bolt goes with what part? There are so many!

[@RestorationApprentice]

I try to group them together next to parts they bolt to. Also I have it on video, so it's a bit easier for me.

[@rafarzetelski1660]

Very good job. Maybe do you want to sell it ? Please.

[@RestorationApprentice]

Thank you for watching, not for sale.

Why Didn't you Try To Turn it Over With a Drill instead Of Putting All That Stuff Back On ?? The Pull Starter Was On The Wrong Way, It Should Have Been so U Can Pull It Toward The Back Of The Mower, Not The Side. And The Top Part Of The Handle Bars Are Not Correct. They Need To Be Turned The Other Way 180 Degrees, That's Why The Throttle Was Upside Down
