Hey Steve, a little story. I called a local tool rental/repair service to get a carb kit for a Tecumseh lawn mower engine and was told they didn't have one because Tecumseh went out of business 11 years ago, so I went to Amazon and found a complete carburetor for $11.00 plus S&H total cost $28.00. Replaced it myself and now my line mower ( powerful 2 wheeled weed whacker) is back in action taking down all the tall un-mow able grass. The head takes 140 gauge(I think) 22" string line folded before attaching to the trimmer head creating 4 strings to whack with.

"...my grass is 10 ft tall!". This resonates. Growing up, my dad and a couple neighbors repaired lawn mowers and small engines for resale (they dabbled in service and quit a long time ago due to similar problems). Its remarkable how many people only think about their mowers until at least a week after they needed to run it, and at least two weeks after they should've run it. This is the time of year when they're all busy on their projects, getting ready for Spring when the customers come a knocking.

I know the feeling, this crap of trying to find parts & deal w/people is to much nowdays. I also quit small repair about 3 months ago & glad of it!

I've realized after 56+ years on this planet that the complainer population is growing. There are people you could give a bullion of gold to, and they would complain it was too heavy to carry.

Steve you have given me so much help and advice. There is no repair shop where I live so have fixed many small engines for friends and myself. Learned alot from you and Donny Boy. Thanks .

Man, I hate that for you! Years of being in customer service has taught me that the general public leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to human interaction...and I'm sorry you had to shut it down (but I'm ELATED that you're still gonna do KZfaq for us DIY'ers) :] Keep up the good work, buddy - lots of us love your videos (and beer critiques lol)

DIY with the aid of people like you is how I managed to save for retirement. It is amazing what people will give away that requires little work to make it good as new. Glad you’re not giving up the tips and humerus delivery.

Don't blame ya man. I just played with my snowblower with the help of your videos. After the third time of RR, it working sweet. Until someone does it themselves and realizes what it takes. then they will respect the knowledge you have. It's hard to get into a great shop like yours as they are usually swamped to the nines.

Your videos have not only saved me a ton of money they have gotten me out of a few difficult corners. Keep up the brilliant work.

There are so many of us DIYers out there that have learned so much from you and your KZfaq channel. You will never know how much we appreciate your help with our own equipment. Sorry those winers out there have forced you to stop doing what you obviously love. Thanks for continuing to share your knowledge with us. 👍

I can completely understand where you are coming from. Dealing with the public is tough. They want something for nothing. They just don't understand what it takes to run a business and the overhead plus this is your job. Jeff out!

Can't blame you one bit , no-one should expect you to do this for free , that's total BS ! Thanks for all you do providing solid helpful info along the way.
