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 see 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 burned up my Husqvarna Backpack blower 150BT with pure gas. I felt like a fool and had no one to blame but myself! Following your video I replaced the cylinder, piston, rings and all gaskets for about $80.00. It runs like a champ now! Just in time for Autumn leaves! Many thanks! Keep up the good work! Best regards, Len

I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. kzfaq.infoUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.

I was raised by one of the best mechanics I ever met, worked in garages and kept my own machines running for years, now I am 70. I have heard them all and you are one of the best at teaching repairing equipment I have ever heard You take it for granted that your students are ignorant (which is not bad) not stupid(which is bad) love you and glad you are eecovering.

@nicktease0687 Жыл бұрын

@Tommy Ealey so true. I was also raised similarly but had to teach myself a lot because my father was a drunk and preferred bouncing tools off my head than teaching me how to use or fix them. Luckily, I had a neighbor who was about 60 and saw I had a passion for learning how and why things work and he could fix literally anything laid before him. I never saw a tool or machine or appliance or any other device you could throw at him which he couldn't fix or find a new use for or part it out to use what's still good. I believe I may have absorbed MAYBE 50% of what he knew and I still have no need to take my things to anyone to fix them. Idk why people aren't learning from the previous generations like they used to. I'm afraid it's causing a helpless society of window lickers and coming generations will be extra screwed. I hope I'm wrong but so far I don't see any other possible outcome.

When I moved to the city I gave my son my equipment. In the mix was my trusty old Sachs 120 chain saw. I won't mention the other equipment I gave him that ended up in the dump or that someone stole from his warehouse. The saw was not only run with straight gas but I discovered the carb needles were almost tightened up fully and in super lean. The piston was seized right in front of the port! Welded-in is more like it. Every time I walked into the garage I would heat the cylinder and try to beat the cylinder off with a rubber mallet. After weeks of this to finally got the cylinder off. I couldn't get the correct size piston or rings for it. I would use emery cloth and polish the piston until the rings would turn. Pulled the rings and used jewelers files to clean the ring grooves. Honed the cylinder then oiled and reassembled it. It has been cutting wood for 5 years now without any problem. The compression was just fine. I do run the gas mix a bit fat and the carb is also a bit fat. I bought the saw in 86 and back then it was over $500.00 so it was worth saving. I only cut a couple cords a year with it so it isn't worn out yet! Repairing it cost me nothing. The rings and piston I got for it were over size, a lot over size!!

Around 30 years ago a customer brought in a blower that wouldn't start. Thinking it was flooded by the smell I pulled it a few times with on luck. When I did get to it a few days later I found the spark plug electrode pinched shut. Put in a new plug & after checking the fuel it ran. When the owner picked it up, I showed him the plug. Turned out he asked his son to use it & I guess the son didn't want to. I also remember a guy dropped off a new Stihl saw, case & all. The saw was new, never been ran till the owner's son borrowed it. It has mud all over it! I asked the owner the obvious. Saw was last year's Xmas gift. The son used it to installed an electronic dog fence. Did the deed good! Son wound up paying for a new bar, chain & sprocket, lol!

That's the one thing that's awesome about 2 cycle engines. They are so Incredibly simple, that even after being fried with no oil, it only takes a few parts to make it good as new. That's not so much the case with 4 cycle engines. The valvetrain just throws so many more moving parts into the mix!

A good example of why a 2 cycle should be warmed up. Running full throttle at start causes the exhaust side of the piston to expand faster than cylinder. Good by clearance. The intake side is cooler from fuel flow and less expansion.

I generally will run a unit, after piston and cylinder replacement, for a couple of minutes at idle to allow the new rings to find a happy place in the new cylinder. That's a leftover from rebuilding automotive engines.

@chasewebber4316 2 жыл бұрын

No criticism here just some info. You mentioned automotive engines. Letting any new rebuilt flat tappet camshaft engine at idle upon first fire will eat the cam lobes. You have to bring engine rpm up to sling oil over it via crank counter weights. Also varying rpms will help prevent cylinder glazing.

Bre, another great video showcasing your skills and ability. You are certainly correct about the predictability of the "it wasn't my fault" people factor. I see it frequently also. It makes complex or simple diagnostics, and helping customers, more difficult than it has to be. This example showcases how fuel mistakes effect failure. Evidently mixing 2C fuel is to difficult for some, they should hire their work done or use premix. Thanks for the excelent upper rebuild tutorial.

That HISSING was neat! It came from the carb because when the unit was last shut off the piston was on the down stroke putting pressure on the diaphragm closing the fuel pick up line to the tank. The tank was full enough the lines were submerged. Then sitting in a cold then hot garage(maybe barometric pressure change) cause vacume in the tank. Once you released the seal the carb the diaphragm pressure equalized opening up that circuit in the carb letting the air rush into the tank. Neat

He told me he was not interested in getting it fixed he said he put it on Craigslist for $20. Really have not messed with it too much except putting a new coil on it. That wasn't the problem and since I had other projects I put that to the side. Now after seeing your video I am definitely going to look at the Piston the next time I go to mess with it. I made sure to save your video for a part numbers. I must definitely hit the like button and subscribe button. Look forward to your next video.
