    I have easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials "do it yourself" (DIY) videos to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers and zero turn mowers.
    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 whacker, 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, zero turn mower, 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.

    “So…that’s all there is, guys”, as Dony states. A little bit more diligence with your mechanical skills, and fingers, but you can sure do it yourself and save money. Who can argue with that? Just watch that carburetor bowl gasket and you’ll be golden. Nice job and thanks to Dony again. Well worth watching this video to avoid frustration with your machine. 👍

      @Gordon_L 19 дней назад +3

      A proper in line fuel filter with a paper element should do the job , the red inline unit shown here is a strainer only i.e. with a mesh screen . Also it's good practice when decanting fuel from a container to use a funnel with a strainer and also I personally avoid all fuels that contain ethanol , for my two stroke gear , 4 stroke gear and cars . I take my ethanol in my beer , not my machinery .
