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 wacker, 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, 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.
I have the largest Small Engine Repair Video Library on RUclips and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!

This guy almost makes me believe I can do these things myself. Incredible. I hope he makes a little something to reward him for his excellent tutorials.
Very clear video,and i like that you speak slow ,clearly a pleasure to watch and learn
The comment on how hard to pull the starter cord on the easy2start. I am 83 with 4 torn rotator cuffs. 3 with operations and 1 inoperable. A relocating neighbor sold me a a small Stihl that had been hardly used. I could not start that saw. A trip to my Husky mechanic resulted in his being able to start the saw after about a hundred pulls and 30 minutes effort. He was about 50 years old, 6’ 2” #250 lbs. Got the thing home and could not start it. Took it to my Stihl dealer and they suggested an Easy2start. The saw came in and I was instructed to gently pull the co twice. The engine rotated but did not start? Repeated the effort. Same result. No start. The instructions told me to take off the choke as soon as the engine coughed. Two more pulls,the engine coughed. Choke off, two pulls, amazing,, .....the engine started. Note that I never jerked the cord. I gently pulled up all the way twice, That wound up the starter spring. It releases automatically. The engine starts. It has never failed. 4 or 6 pulls to make it cough, the nest 2 pulls to wind up the spring and “EURECA”..it starts.
No pain to the old rotator cuffs. A pleasure to cut with. A VERY, VERY GREAT PLEASURE “ to demo the easy starting to friends. They cannot believe it. Absolutely happy with this saw. It is a 250 model. Now about 5 years old. Newer used any fuel except 89 octane without alcohol with stabilizer. From my marina. Happy as a clam.
Good Luck yanking on the cord.

Sir. I just wanted to tell you that I have watched several of your videos and I must say, you have perfected your craft in the “tutorial/how to” department! Hats off to you sir! I’m a Stihl guru. I have 7 Stihl chainsaws and roughly 6 other pieces of Stihl equipment. Even though Stihl equipment is tough as nails it needs more than just maintenance and TLC sometimes. Every now and again something on a piece of equipment breaks or wears out and to me, the victory of fixing it yourself is much more sweeter than taking it somewhere to have it repaired. In todays world it also saves you a lot of cash. Anyway. I didn’t mean for my comment to become a novel, but I wanted you to know how much I enjoy watching and learning from your informative and awesome videos! Keep up the good work sir! Thank you again!
This video was very thorough and provided good tips. I have never had to respool a stihl chainsaw in my life until this past week and you did a great breaking it down. Thank you.
I just happened to find your channel. It was the very first one that popped up on the 180 C I followed your instructions exactly saw starts and runs well thank you, my friend. I’ll keep you in my subscriptions.
Thanks. The pull cord on my 180-C broke last time I used it. Your video helped me see what I was in for dealing with the easy start thing. Yes, my saw is running again!
Now my 362 can relax until something big comes up.
Wow, glad I found this. This is the most fully-explained process without all the hype and wasted words and time of most RUclips videos. Nice Job!!!
This is one of the easiest to understand videos on RUclips. Excellent!
Followed these instructions today. My saw now works great. Thanks! Timeless advice :)
Thank you for a calm and therapeutic video which helped me change the starter cord on my MS180C. One note; here in metric land, I read #3.5 rope as 3.5mm diameter. This is too big (although online comparisons seem to show them as being the same diameter!?) ...2.5mm rope is what is needed.
Just got done adding a 16" 50 gauge bar and chain on my ms180. Your videos are some of the most helpful on RUclips! Keep it up!
+Matt G thanks Matt
Thank you for posting this up. It completely took the mystery out of the operation.
Thanks for the help! Fixed my saw in 20 minutes instead of waiting a week for it to go through a shop, and saved probably $100 as well.
Excellent!
Thanks for this video. Pull cord installation went exactly as you demonstrated.
Thank you sir .. the 180c is my first chainsaw and first time ever working on a chainsaw. I understood and followed your instructions which successfully replaced my damaged pull cord. I subscribed, liked your video and looking forward to learning from the videos you provide. Thank you once again
Such perfect timing Dony. My cord is frayed and now I can replace it myself! Thank you!!
Donny has a very nice even voice and I like that in youtubers. He also knows what he is talking about.
Pleasure to watch and easy to learn from.
Don - Thanks for this video. I was able to replace the pull cord on my MS180C which saved me paying for the repair, just as importantly saved the time my saw would have been in the shop. I managed to get the recoil spring unwound and ended up using another of your videos to figure out how to get it back! You're very good at generating clear, simple directions! Thanks again.
Glad it helped
Excellent instruction. Especially around the topics where a little slip can cause a lot of headache. I am now going to get to my saw. Thank you.
Thanks for the video.
Today working at the same troubleshooting. 🙋♂️
Great step by step video. So well explained. Thank you very much!
Wonderful, simple clear directions with an understandable process. Thank you for taking the time to make this video!
Super helpful! Super easy instructions, great visual. I’m so lucky this was the first such video I came across. Watched a couple others afterwards, and nowhere as detailed as this. Thank you!!!
Thank you! I did it exactly as you describe. Thank you for those helpful tidbits. I got in a jam and your video solved my hang up.
Nice job you show everything your doing and explain it good. Not every RUclips mechanic video does not and it drives me crazy! Thank you!
BTW, I loved the video. It was direct, accurate and wasted no time.
Awesome video! Fixed my saw in less than 10 minutes. Very valuable information.
thank goodness for people like you on RUclips lol I don't know what I would have done if an easy video like this was not available thank you!!
Awesome, thank you for this video just fixed my recoil spring and forgot in the past to load the spring by turning clockwise and not let go the rope lol
Great video, happy wood cutting
By far the best tutorial that I could find. The camera work is outstanding. You show every step clearly. The closeup views and camera angles are excellent!
Thanks
I have this exact saw. Followed step by step instructions and it worked!!! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you for taking the time to make this video! It was a tremendous help to me!
Nice video, Dony. This will be most helpful to lots of Stihl owners.
Tks.
Thanks for sharing, repaired my cord break in about 30 minutes.
Dude thankyou so much for this tutorial! I had just started cutting palm trees and my rope snapped, you’re a life saver, really appreciate it!!!
Dony I always burn the ends of my rope too but I also burn the knots a bit too to heat set them. I've had knots pull out before without setting them. Good video, thanks!
Hey Donnyboy this worked absolutely perfectly on my 180 C Easy2Start. Couldn't have done it without your careful, calm coaching. You sound as if you might be from Quebec, if so, merci from an Ontario friend!
Really helpful - thanks for posting! I was working on a Stihl hedge trimmer, and it had overhead valves. Never seen that before!
thanks Donny this helped me out today putting the spring clip back on the pawls ....thanks again from southwestern Kentucky......
Yeah I followed this all good until putting back in!!! Good luck to ya!! Took my into service

+Stasia Dionne thanks
great video very helpful thank you
Good job Don! Have a nice weekend!
Interesting that I had to do this job yesterday, without your video to help.
My Stihl is set up a little differently than this one, even though it has the quick start feature,
the mechanism is a little different. I also had to make my spring smaller at the center hook end or it wouldn't catch.
Always an adventure.
Thank you for the video!
Thank you so much! You rock!!
