Its the culture of people in those countries. They don't want to give away the secrets of their trade but, at the same time, they want to show off. That's why they seem to make critical mistakes or they avoid replacing things they should replace. Anyone can clean up an engine with 0 skill but not everyone knows how to replace rings, hone cylinders, compress rings, etc.

One of the reasons I and many others follow your channel is because we know enough about small engines to know that you know how to fix them! As an aside I have a Husqvarna 240 strimmer (brush cutter) hanging around in my garage with a blade on it I decided yesterday that after 4 years hanging there I might see if it would go NO new fuel just some discoloured something in the bottom of the tank 5 pulls and she's running! Added new fuel and she ran all day, the wee sweetie! 😊

*If millions of people can watch a 3+ hour Titanic movie, we can definitely watch a measly little 1 1/2-hour video with your entertaining, educational, and valued content. Keep in mind that when the video is as good as yours, it will never feel like a 1 1/2-hour video; it will feel more like a 15-minute video, leaving us wanting more.*

40 years ago, while interviewing for a small engin shop mechanic, we set up a saw indical to your grandfather's saw with 5 defects and asked the candidates why doesn't this saw cut wood. I was astounded how many people missed the fact that the chain was backward . This was especially concerning when the job title said chainsaw experience required .

A customer brought a bare chain into my shop for sharpening, picked it up Friday. Monday he’s back, chainsaw in hand, reaming my axe out about my complete lack of skill in sharpening. I took the saw, asked him to follow me to the bench, while I turned the chain around on the bar. Sliced a couple of wafers from my test log and handed it back to him without a word. He slinked off like a beaten mutt, saying nothing. Never saw him again. Don’t need “customers” like that anyway.

this one was kinda fun. as a retired german car mechanic i play with small engines for a small side hustle. i want to say you,steve and donny are great sources. other tubers might spend way too much time on what should be way too obvious. i mean fresh gas and clean carb is mechanic 101. give me a break. good work. keep em coming.

People in those countries don't want people to know how to fix things themselves since that would take away their business. They intentionally do things wrong so that DIYrs will fail at repairs and come to them. They know what they're doing and they fix the stuff correctly before sale but they don't want others to know how its done correctly. Its a common strategy for preventing competition. We in the west really don't understand how odd we are to the rest of the world for sharing accurate and honest information about our skills.

I have a good saw… I’ll just walk around looking for money instead..😂

There are those who love your long videos just to see you! Then there are those who appreciate your presentation and knowledge. Keep up the good work.

Love your "intuitive feel" for what's coming - obviously based on lots of experience. Go girl, keep at educating us.

Thanks for the video. Sad that you had to take the time to put it out. Anyone that has been following you should know the difference but like my grandfather used to say "you can't fix stupid". Kudos to you. You provide good down to earth instruction and guidance and on top of that you do it for free helping people like me that can't afford pricey shops that do not tell you any thing. Thank you again. A Canadian Fan.

3rd worlders don't like it when people fix things for free. They want business from their community and thus lie to people in their communities about how things are fixed so that people will have to rely on them. Its depressing since that's one of the things that contributes to those countries being so poor. However, they still want customers so at least we don't have to worry about surgeons making videos where they incorrectly do surgery.

It's important to be cautious when watching such content online and not fall for deceptive practices. Kudos to the creator for shedding light on these scams and providing viewers with an authentic perspective.

These are the same type of people that that call you with those telemarket scams. I've seen them do animal rescue videos where they first mess up a kitten or puppy and then "save" it.

Its professionals in foreign countries who don't want do-it-yourselfers to fix things. They're only honest about repairs when its something that's no-skill(like cleaning) or when it requires machinery(like engine boring). However, when it comes to critical assembly stuff, they always make "unintentional" mistakes that would render the entire repair pointless at best. Professionals in those countries want business and they don't want their customers knowing how to fix things correctly. In fact, they want to punish customers who try. This is one reason why they insist on putting the chains on backwards or re-using burned up pistons/cylinders.

No way you are going to make rusty iron and pitted aluminum look "new" .They are an insult to my intelligence. Also the guy that found the saw in the tree is, I think, the same person that is in many other questionable DIY videos on YT.

I found a Pouland leaf blower at a land fill about 17 years ago. The pull cord was hanging out of it so I couldn’t try starting it there. Took it home, took it apart, fixed the cord recoiler and, I’m still using it today. I found a fairly new mower in a complex dumpster years ago. Took it home, dumped the water out of the fuel tank (duh), put fresh fuel in it and bam, fired up after a couple of pulls. Sold that sucker and bought a new fishing pole!

Love your videos - learning a lot. Thanks from Northern Ireland

We knew the rewind clutch wasn't broken, but a new one was much faster. Points and condenser? Really? The electronic coils are much more available and reliable. The fuel tube has to be forcefully pushed into the pickup. The "gap" is called "lash" and was checked. Valves need to be lapped about every 200-300 hours, check your owners manual. We were at home not at the shop, so like most people at home who don't own a shop we cleaned the valves with what was available and this works great. This isn't "engineering" its repair, at home away from specialize tools.

Then they take it apart and clean it knowing that it’s beyond repair. Of coarse they end the video with the first thing they recorded.
