My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We saw over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

I’m glad to hear you use the phrase “boogered up”. We had an engineer on a job where i worked in steel mill maintenance, one of my coworkers was having to deal with damaged threads on a bolt. The engineer asked him what the trouble was, he told him the threads were “boogered up”. The engineer asked his partner “what is this boogered up? The guy replied “the threads are all f*cked up!” He understood what the problem was and learned some steel mill terminology. We had to educate every new engineer.

My ears perked up when you started singing praises to the Mantis. You see 15 yrs ago I bought one and it was ALWAYS A PIA! Always took an act of Congress to get it started and I have no patience. If it did start I had to run it full throttle, because it wouldnt idle. I finally quit messing with it, my Christianity couldnt take it. I hired someone to till my garden until I retired then I ordered the kit with the new lines etc, put that altogether after buying a carb off Ebay. 15 yrs of frustration, alot of cussing etc, etc, and it starts and runs like it should have to begin with. I wish I had this video back then but we barely had internet. 😂 Thank you for all you do, you've saved me more than once! Ps I'm a woman 71 and do everything on my own on large acreage in OK.

I use old engines scavenged from junk mowers I find at thrift stores and Habitat. If I get a newer Briggs with a plastic carburetor, the entire engine goes in the scrap pile and an older one (with serviceable or replaceable) metal carburetor is installed. Unlike vehicles, an engine swap on most mowers takes less than 1/2 hour.

@billywird 13 күн бұрын

One has to psychoanalyze the customer, and also have a good repour with a customer. In the case of using used parts if you have a longstanding customer and they know you they will trust your judgement and also understand that used parts are just that, they are used and carry no warranty as far as defects in materials and workmanship. Many shops will not use used parts because if there is a problem with a used part they scream "warranty, warranty" and the shop just avoids that problem by only offering new parts. But any real repair shop will also have a good following of customers who have trust in them to get the machines repaired. Especially commercial customers. And as the Chickanic lady shows, you don't throw away items that can yield useful parts when you get into a bind of not having every part on every machine that has ever been made on your parts shelves.

I’ve put helicoils in two stroke jugs. Never had a failure after doing it. Back in the 70s I modified Honda 250 engines to run reed valves which involved building up the intake side with an epoxy and using a helicoil in each screw hole. Yes I used Loctite to keep the screws from loosening and a thin layer of copper RTV the gaskets.

Good. Being able to re-engineer anything is a rare ability. Doing that myself on occasion, I respect that.

@williambrown3388 22 сағат бұрын

I was wondering about helicoils on that myself. I know they are often used in aluminum parts when threads get damaged. You can use JB weld for a lot of stuff, just coat the screw with anti-seize before screwing it in and it should keep the JB Weld from bonding to it. If you need to make threads where they basically aren’t there, there are two part epoxy metals that are extremely tough. The brands are Devcon and Belzona. You will probably have to get them from an industrial supply or from online like at Grainger.

I have done so many repairs on small equipment and the strangest repair ever was a fuel line on an older piece of equipment that was like a rubber tube in a rubber tube. I had went through the carb multiple times, check for compression, checked for ignition. The motor would crank but always stopped when engine was put in load. After hours of aggravation I just changed out the fuel line, ran perfect. I did noticed the old fuel line outside dimensions were much greater than the required size (inner diameter) for tank and carb application. Curiously I cut the line open and discovered that it was in fact a tube in a tube (i believe it was for heat protection), What was happening the fuel line had started separating inside causing the inner tube to collapse when drawing fuel rapidly. Like sucking a drink through a weak straw. One other short story worked on a Honda Motor log splitter great machine. Anyway it would only run for about fifteen minutes, thought it was the low oil cutoff, nope. After cleaning the tank, carb cleaning a couple times I discovered it was the Fuel cap. The cap was thick because it contained charcoal so when venting it would be eco friendly I guess. Well anyway because of use and vibration the charcoal pieces broke down like dust and blocked the vent in the cap. Just thought you might enjoy.

I've had 3 MS311/391s (same family saw) in my shop with muffler problems just this month. One thing I'd recommend is to take a file and smooth the exhaust port flat because they get beat up if a customer runs it with a loose muffler. If you don't, it usually leaks exhaust between the cooling plate and can sometimes vibrate loose more easily and possibly melt the crankcase wall.

In watching you videos there are few times that I don't pick up something useful. I've been repairing DIY style since my teens on mowers and small (big too) engines. Now 52 I still maintain vintage Wheel Horse and JD tractors from the 80s. I have one beast 044 Stihl and an 029 plus a Husqvarna. The last two don't run. The 029 oil pump was taken out when the clutch disintegrated. It sheared the screws right from the block. The pull again, pull harder Husqvarna I've been unable to get running longer than a few seconds. Looks like a carb issue there. My former fire department replaced all Stihl with Husqvarna and regretted it. The Husqvarna equipment was very troublesome and nothing was wrong with our Stihl. The Stihl equipment started every time, the Husqvarna were hard to start.

Your channel is probably too popular to read my review but if you do. I have repaired stihl cement saws and chainsaws with the muffler bolt issues vibrating loose and destroying the threads. You can drill out the M5 hole in the block and retap them to M6. So far it has worked every time. We enjoy your channel Cheers.

Enjoyed the video as usual. You are the best dressed small engine mechanic I have ever seen. Flip flops and not even an apron. Regards.

As soon as you sat down with the trimmer that wouldn't start, my brain said, "ok let's check the fuel first". I guess I'm learning...

Thanks Bre. I’ve learned a lot from you. Today I repaired an old Echo trimmer that hadn’t been run in over 10 years. Things I learned here gave me the knowledge and guts to try to fix it!
