Easy to follow and thorough step by step tutorials do it yourself (DIY) to help you with your broken lawn and garden equipment including snowblowers.
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"!

Dony you're the best on this business... Great explanation!!!!
At 3:58. Your video is the only one I have found that actually shows how the spring fits into the assembly. All the others suck. Thanks!
I just inherited a lawnmower just like this. I just repaired throttle linkage with the help of this video. Do you have a video on how to clean out the carburetor for general maintenance?
+Harry Sabunani on another older lawn boy I do
Hi, really appreciate your videos. Wanted to note something you missed. The air filter on these need to be oiled. Soak in straight 30 weight oil. Squeeze out the excess. It shouldn't be dripping, just oily. You'll want to clean and reoil whenever you do your maintenance. At the very least once a season.
Still enjoy this mower, no surge, 1 pull start. If only it wasn't so loud.
Cheers.
Excellent video. I used this step by step to repair the carb on my 10314 model. Runs like a champ now. Thanks!
Excellent detail in this tutorial? I just don’t have one this new. I have a D430.
I have one of these lawn mowers and it runs good .Cut really nice ,they do not make them like that any more. Running for 30 years or more.
Mine was built in 1995. Still humming right along.
I loved the video and how easy it is to replace the control plastic piece for the throttle. I have to work on one push more (Murray) which have a problem leaking fuel and believe it is the rubber primer bulb which is the problem, but will check all the lines along with the bulb. I thank you for showing us how to do that and that is the way I learned to do things in the Air Force mainly, but working with someone who showed us how to do it then let us do it on our own.
Great video Don. I love your thoroughness! What did you use to clean that plastic carburetor? Thanks.
Hi,
Great explanation thanks. One has to wonder why ANY Torx screws were used on here, surely it would have been easier to use Philips?
I just picked up a Lawn-boy.
It starts on first pull but for the first 3-5 minutes it runs with high RPMS then will rev down to normal and it runs like a dream. It doesn't sputter, smoke, or surge and the rev control on the handle works fine. Im guessing the governor is sticking until it warms up and frees it self?
Dony, you should oil the air filter after it dries. Improves its capabilities to filter and keeps the foam from disintegrating.
THE best small engine videos. Thanks for everything!
as always donny.your the King.the best in the west..nobody compares to your video,s thanks again all the best to you..have a great summer..lawnmower doctor..
ron buttineau thanks ron
I really appreciate your videos.
It has come in handy a few times.I enjoy repairing my neighbours lawn mowers & others.
I now have a problem that I do not know if you have covered it.
I have CRAFTSMAN 21 IN 6.0 EASY START, ( Canadian ) Several years old.
It always started on the 1st or 2nd pull. I pulled the plug and holding it on the motor there was no spark when I get someone to pull the rope..Yes I wear gloves or you can get one hell of a jolt.
I guess the coil or whatever it is called needs to be replaced ??.
Any suggestions?
Best video I've seen on Lawnboy service
Oh, mine doesn't have the plastic hickie inside the air cleaner assembly. Wonder how necessary that is? Running okay, just here to learn more. Good vid so far---well okay I've done all that. Looking for adjustment info on the air vane.
Enjoyed your video.
I have a silver series 4.5 .
Leaking gas from bottom of the air cleaner and also runs at very high rpm. HELP !!
About those torx screws. They don't seem to bite in anymore. They shake loose very easily. Any quick fix for that problem?
I see that the lawn mower is up on a table do you have an easy way to get it down or do you just left it off and place it on the ground?
i could pretty much rebuild a whole engine with your vids! i have been learning from you since i subscribed in 2010.
Hi Don, I just got a lawn-boy 10324 from my neighbor and it needs a primer bulb (it's missing). I am having a really tough time finding a parts dealer in my area (Springfield , Massachusetts, USA). I found one online for $6.13, But shipping is $12.00 !!!!! Do you have a better place you use to order parts or is this "normal" to charge this much for something that could be slipped into an envelope for less than a dollar! Love your channel, by the way.
Nice to see this. There are not many 2-stroke Lawn Boy mowers in my area.
Now that I have one of these mowers, this is really helpful, because I need to replace the governor spring. Thanks!!
Yo broz I'm trying to become a lawnboy connoisseur. Whats the best most simple reliable lightest non self propelled lawn boy? I got an e series duraforce right now that's pretty nice
What size/type of primer bulb line do the lawnboy 2 stroke engines take? Diameter/size? Thanks!
That was pretty quick and easy! I have a old craftsman that has a stuck throttle body. Is there any way to just remove it and make it so its full throttle always? I don't mow much and probably have less than 5 hrs on my main one over the last 15 yrs. This one was my grandfathers who needed it gone due to Alzheimer's which made it just to dangerous. Guess its my revenge for disconnecting the throttle cable. It didn't have a air filter for the last 5 yrs also. Thought I should mention that.
How about showing us a video on the Lawn Boy RWD Traction Wheels (ratchet) and Gear Box (New Grease) general maintenance?
Hi don, I was wondering if you can make a video on how to adjust the governor speed on a lawnboy mower with an F engine.
Quick question. What would I use to clean the small metal filter screens in zana carbs. They are plugged with varnish from ethonal fuel. Thank you
I have a Lawnboy SilverPro Model#10324. For some reason, when its idling or not in heavy grass it constantly throttles up and down. Its done this for several years. I changed the spark plug, cleaned the contacts on the electronic ignition, took the carburetor completely apart including the jets and cleaned it with gasoline and compressed air. I checked the throttle cable to make sure it was moving the assembly back and forth. It still throttles up and down. I can hold the governor paddle in a certain position and the engine smooths out but when I let go it moves back and forth. I can't figure out whats causing this.
Jerry
Dony great video. I have the same set up but when I slide that plastic piece back and forth nothing happens. It just idles at a very high speed. Could the spring that attaches need tweaking or replacement? Thank you.
yes it could be
I have a 5037 Lawn boy which I believe has a magnesium deck. What is the best way to remove the old paint?
our fathers would roll in their graves if that was a lawnboy, i remember the metal ones, aluminium body, i think it was two stroke. you are the best to watch
Could you show a carb cleaning on duraforce 6.5 please? Ty so much
great video, simple and straight to the point.
Great video Don! Have a good weekend.
Even a clutz like me learned today. Great video and mechanic! Thank you.
I oil foam filters here in TX, it is just too dry and dusty in the summer. I figure the engines need the extra filter protection.
Very very well done. You did a great explanation, keep doing your videos this way know you have a career in 'how to' video making. No, I'm not joking, this is exactly what I needed to see. THANK YOU!!!
Another great step by step video.
Very impressive production.
I use genuine lawnboy 2 cycle oil, its the best, it has stabilizer already in it. My Sears weed wacker wouldn't run but when I tried my mower gas mixed with lawnboy oil, wow it starts easy. The mixture is different but my arm was sore and the weed wacker was happy! The old guy at Ace Hardware gave me a bunch of bologna that the various brands of 2 cycle oil are all the same. I told him no thanks, I'll drive across town to another Ace that carried genuine Lawn Boy oil.
Nice- I have the same machine lift as Bruce Pender has - just love it, wonder why you don't use one. My back likes it as well :)
I was just looking at those tables at princess auto, Bruce did a great job with that, I was even thinking to save some money maybe you could just use a ride on mower lift and somehow rig up a similar size board to it, not sure if it would work but I thought hey, why not look into it.
---
I just picked up one of these mowers for 20 bucks on Kijiji (dead) but figured it would be a good little project, I don't know much about them though, it seems the compression is low, i will test it tomorrow, I'm not sure what they are rated at (psi) is this engine one of lawn boys better ones, worth the effort if it needs an Overhaul? other then the compression, the machine is in really good shape, I assume that with these 2 cycles, some people (mid mowing) in a hurry may have just "winged it" on the mix, maybe it was running way too lean and finally burnt out.
any advice or info would be great!
cheers
sorry I read that wrong.. I thought you were saying you had that machine and then brought up the table, I didn't realize that you were referring to the actual table.
long day :s lol
+Murphy Small Engines LOL NP we all have them days. Cheers
What did you call the housing for the pull rope? Cow/Cal?
Thanks for another Great video Don. You have improved the repairs and the quality of my small engine skills. I very much appreciate you sharing your talent.
mcmaster22 you're very welcome
donyboy73 mcmaster is Right. Great video Don.Bruce
Bruce Pender thanks Bruce, we can learn from you too
I just got one of these in. It’s completely missing the throttle control, LOL! Guess I’m on the hunt for parts.
Would you please show how to clean a dirty mower and the engine? Thanks for the video!
how do you fix a lawn boy 550e that won't start when hot? it starts with one pull when cold. any help or tips would be appreciated
Another well done repair, Don Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video! Nice job of clearly explaining the process!!
Miss those old lawn boy bodies.
Can tell me Where I can set air fuel of this model lawn boy 2 cycle? Show me where.
Can you make a video and disassemble and assemble piece by piece the carburator. How to install the springs for the airvane and adjustable colar. It would be a very interesting video. Show everything to the camera.
Thank you as always excellent teaching video, I look forward to your videos.
where i can see how to repair filtre fuel of lawn boy 10247. It will be very interesting
I have the exact same mower.! It beats my kohler XT 6.75 at mowing.
My throttle cable handle is broken. Not such an easy fix for me.
I actually have a spare Longblock part # 94-5737 fits that mower and others. May install it or sell it one day. Not sure yet. It's a investment. Lol
Dony lawn boy
Donny, I watched your lawnboy vids......
I am trying to get my unit going... with no luck....I have cleaned the carb. with carb cleaner, the jets are all clear etc...
will not start, however, when I put a teaspoon of fuel mix direct into the carb, the unit starts first pull and runs for the few seconds.....What could be the problem be?
Please reply bud,,,,
take care.....
thenorth03 make sure fuel runs freely to carb from tank, some it can get clogged at fuel valve
I cleaned out the tank, changed the fuel line, the fuel pours out the line, no problem, the bowl fills up, fresh fuel is being used.....I am missing something....As I scratch my head.....lol
Sounds like you have a carburetor issue. Rebuild it, or better yet, replace it. Many carbs are fairly inexpensive these days. I'm sure Donny will be along with more definitive/expert advise but that's my take.
Well, if you're sure there is fuel. The oil is mixed in right. It's not old gas. Then how strong it's the spark? Starter fluid will burn easier. Also how did you clean the jets? Is there an air leak? There is one other thing, clogged exhaust. There is a U shaped pipe under the deck. Sometimes it needs to be cleaned. It's a PITA. You'll need a tube of gasket maker.
Kiernan Bros New carb kit ran me about $70.
Can you tell me why my lawnmower has oil in the filter?
Hello, Please can you slowly show how to disassemble this carburetor.
Doney with the oil we have nowdays I am able to run the lawn boy 40:1 or 50:1?
better at 45:1
@@donyboy73 It use to be 32:1 so 45:1 is ok? I dont use Synthetic
@@jaylandry8915 yes 45:1 is ok with today's oil
Great video. Thanks !
what i wanna know is why would they make such a vital part out of plastic?
on weak plastic like that I would hot melt a piece of something similar to strengthen it where it broke
Good video, nice explanation.
I used to have the same mower until the connecting rod exploded. That V-Series engine is a bit rough and rattly, but it has some serious grunt to it. There wasn't anything I threw at it that would bog that mower down.
Thank you
how much did u charge him?
Good video, Don!
Great vid bud as always
Can you tell me, where is the filtre gaz to lawn boy 10247? Pouvez-vous me dire ou est exactement le filtre pour l'essence pour la lawn boy 10247?
usually it's a screen in the tank where the connector is. bonne journee!
but you can add an inline one
Can you show at cam please?
Plastic parts are so stupid - especially in a critical moving component like this.
Audioquest56 some camshafts are made from plastic in modern engines.
cringeworthy i know... some of the lower end briggs use plastic camshafts. especially in the 450 series. the I/C series dont have plastic internals.
even the damn honda clones like the predator engines dont have plastic internals!
Great info Don!
Great video
good ol lawnboy two strokes
Thanks for the video don!
Ooow that part was made to brake, unless its optical illusion it looks like the cable mount isnt lined up straight, i would make an aluminium plate to brace
Cool
good one, thanks...
Grate Video thanks
I just did mine, but now I have a gas leak. Sad!
Thanks for this one Donny..nj
good stuff
Great Vid as always my friend! :)
Randi Del Cecato thanks Randi
Just retired my Lawnboy for an EGO. 👍🏻✌🏻
Well Donny, isn’t so easy, it requires some time to do it
that had to be the dirtiest air filter I have ever seen. Good video, however.
Damn that's a flimsy piece of plastic for such an important job.
Good quality videos by this dude. >>> _ donyboy73
Ugh, who the hell would make that out of weak plastic..
hey donyboy73 my lawn mower (McCollouch lawnmac 548 18" deck) has a manual throttle leading up to the handle bars and its all to hell it got a bit of oil on it and the spring has stretched beyond belief and gone missing (the one that leads to the govenor arm) and now the only way to rev it up is by hand on the carb and thats not practical or safe becuase theres no govenor regulation if u could help by sending pics or anything that would be amazing cheers u can message me here if u need pics to be abel to help facebook.com/jake.moore.9828456
looks like a mickey mouse set up too me.
I love your videos, they're awesome.
AssGrabber B thanks
