Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers.
I do my best to teach you how to easily diagnose problems the fastest, quickest and most efficient way with real repairs beyond just replacing a spark plug. These tips are for both the homeowner and shop owner.
Whether it be a handheld, two stroke, two cycle engine like a chainsaw, weed eater, weed wacker, string trimmer, grass trimmer, line trimmer, hedge trimmer, strimmer, brush cutter, leaf blower, or four stroke, four cycle units like a lawnmower, wood splitter, lawn tractor, snowblower, pressure washer, generator or a ride on mower that needs parts installed or replaced, I’m your go-to guy.
My favorite brands of spark plugs are NGK and Champion and are the ones I recommend.
I’ve been a small engine mechanic for many decades and also run my own repair shop so my videos are loaded with tips and tricks that I have learned and want to share with you. You will also find many tool and product reviews from top brands on my channel as well.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on KZread and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!
I want "DON THE SMALL ENGINE DOCTOR" on KZread to save you time, frustration and most importantly, MONEY with my HOW-TO videos!

    I am glad you gave us that tip and I may be having that problem on an older saw which I finally gave up on until now. I will try that see if it solves that problem. I have newer saws which I keep having a problem with cranking and have to try getting them cranked and running and getting some use out of them as they have been sitting since getting them back from the repair shop. So far I have had to depend on my battery powered saw to trim limbs, and brush with and it is getting too much use while the other saws have been collecting dust. I thank you so much for sharing this tip with us and I wish you and your family a great weekend and new week, Dony.

    personally for me if i if am i coming into contact with plastic and retractable metal or steel i would often use silicone spray as it won.t wear out the plastic as easily compared to a thicker or heavier oil lubricant like WD.40 etc but yeah it all depends on the weather and area you live in etc
