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

Indeed! Good comment. Yeah, battery this and battery that. I am intrigued with batteries for tools and cameras, etc, but still have my doubts when it comes to larger applications? I bring my EGO 5.0 Ah battery in after using it in my blower, and stick it on the charger, and it has to sit there for quite awhile until it will start charging, due to the heat in the cells. I realize this is normal, but it adds time to the usage of whatever device it is us dead in. Imagine taking three times as long to mow a large lawn! Of course buying an extra battery or two would help to solve that dilemma, but at what cost! Peace

I have my 25 year old plastic deck Honda that I passed on to my son in law. I told him ,if he gets a new one,I want the old one back.😄. I bought a new Honda mower,this one with a battery start option. I’m getting older and wiser, plus I wanted a last Honda made mower. Best mower ever…my battery leaf blower, edger has two batteries, one I use, when that goes dead, I use the other one, but I never charge a battery immediately after using it, I let the cells calm down

Another wise and excellent demo, Dony! The paradox of ethanol is the way alcohol make water more miscible in fuel, not less. This is why alcohol is a component of all fuel stabilizing mixtures, because it dissolves water in the fuel, reducing the high water concentration at the bottom of the tank where the fuel pump draws it into the carb. Engines can take some water as long as it is dissolved and diluted. A big swig of straight water from the bottom of the tank will cause the engine to choke and gasp. That water comes from dew condensing inside the tank when the outside temp drops below the dew point. Dew slides down the inner sidewall of the tank, then drops below the fuel because it is more dense. So the usual advice is to keep fuel tanks completely full through the winter to occupy the air volume trapped above the fuel. Or, keep it completely empty and drain or evaporate any water that collects in the spring before adding new fuel.

E0 Regular is available here at $0.30 more per gallon than E15, so that's what I use in all my 4-stroke small engine devices AND in my 1995 Mercury Cougar 4.6L V8. Any gas/petrol vehicle older than 2011 MUST use E0 or internal components won't last long at all. Same for all small engines. I do not want an electric mower and will avoid them as long as I can. Same for EVs of all types. Another easy fix with a great, detailed procedure and remedy. It's amazing how quickly gas/petrol goes bad. Thanks, Don.

Thanks again, dony. We're lucky to have a steady sypply of the non-ethanol in my area. It's all my 8 year old car has ever had. And we pay a king's ransom for it too. Does the non-ethanol make a stabilizer unnecessary for, say, for a seasonal engine like a snowblower? I've heard this elsewhere.

which one is that? the standard 98 [standard for the EU: EN 228 ] is required to have less than 5% ethanol [EN 15376], so in the EU getting good fuel is rather trivial. 98 octane costs like 5c more than 95 (per liter).

Amazing the condition the homeowner kept that poor mower in! Is it any wonder it ran poorly?! Nice job on getting it running well, and cleaned up. I would tell the owner, THIS is how it should look! Seafoam or StarTron are both good as many know; StarTron claims to fight phase separation, and it really cleans up the fuel system. Yeah, electric schmetric Postage stamp yards, yeah, I can see it, but good luck on bigger properties! Take care and stay safe

Sneaky thing about fuel in Canada.. it all has Ethanol. Another sneaky thing.. if you mix pump fuel with water, it seperates the ethanol from the fuel.. and what's floating on top...? Ethanol free fuel. Just drain off that fuel, leave the water behind, filter it, put it back in the mower, and cut with ethanol free fuel without paying thru the nose for canned stuff

Thanks Don! Great advise, I'll be doing that for a customers 2 machines this weekend. Thankfully NON-Ethanol gasoline is readily available at all Q.T. gas stations in S.Texas! Plus I add a famous fuel Sta-bilizer & a Marvel-ous Mysterius Oil additive that helps gaskets, seals & rubber parts & helps combustion. I tell all customers about my Secret fuel formula in a master can (5gallon jug) with the formula & fill all other smaller 2-cycle fuel cans (plus 2-cyc oil) from the master can or jug! Solves many problems 👍🤠 Paul

It's strange how my 35 year old 3 horsepower Briggs and Stratton powered Supa swift lawnmower has less problems with E10 fuel which has sat in the fuel tank & the fuel can for almost a year or 6 months or so & it will start right up with about 3 pulls or so of the starter rope. The old choke O Matic carburettor is very simple in design but it's very reliable. On my dads Honda GSV190 lawnmower engine which I recently rebuilt I even turn the fuel tap off & run the carburettor dry of fuel before storing it & he buys 95 octane non ethanol based fuel for it & his other Honda lawn equipment because Honda don't recommend using E10 unleaded fuel in their lawn equipment. I run it dry because that sort of carburettor is susceptible to gumming up & I have had to dismantle and clean it because it's more susceptible to poor running due to microfine dust particles clogging the low & high speed passages inside of the carburettor !

I’ve been told that it sounds serious and should just go ahead and buy another one as opposed to attempts at repair?

Ethanol will not separate from the fuel. Ethanol goes into solution with the fuel. Ethanol is lighter then the fuel and lighter then the water. It will evaporate if not in solution. Ethanol will burn when in the combustion chamber. The water comes most probably from condensation. Ethanol absorbs a certain amount of water and allows that solution of ethanol, water and fuel to be burned.

Hey Donny boy i’ve got a solution for people that can’t get non-ethanol fuel. I did a test on a 2 gallon can of ethanol that was Herb ethanol based fuel that was mixed for my chainsaws and weedeaters, and so on tap the vent screw down the lead really tight that you filled it from and put a plastic cap of some kind or you could even use a piece of foil I believe will work just cut a piece of foil and do about a two or 3 in.² fold it over the end of the pour spout and leave it I Lighting 2 gallon cans sit for a year put it in my weedeater and it ran just beautifully

Hello Dony . I have a older Tecumseh 10 hp engine on a older Craftsman snowblower . It has very little compression left . The blower is yellow in color . I don't think it is worth repairing . I have a Briggs & stratton in stock, would this be a good choose of engines for this unit . I believe the shaft might be different but I can get a pulley adapter. Engine mounting will be different but I can drill new holes . I'm I wasting my time or not . The rest of the machine is in great shape . If you can advice it would be much appreciated.

Having seen many 2 cycle and 4 cycle machines come in running poorly, I would NEVER use canned fuel. The only time I do is with a small enough amount to fill the bowl for storage (I have switched to jet fuel for storage). These engines will not reach their peak power with canned fuel, especially on 2 stroke engines. More people have noticed this poor quality and TruFuel is running in circles. Have a nice day.

I don't run ethanol blend fuel in ANYTHING I own if I can help it. Ethanol loves water, water doesn't burn. It takes way more diesel to grow, harvest, process, and transport ethanol than the amount of gasoline it displaces. The US government only tested ethanol blend in cars and trucks, NOT motorcycles, lawn equipment, aircraft, or boats. Never run it if you can help it.

It amazes me at how people think a can of gasoline works no matter how old it is. 75 % of my repairs are attributed to old phase separated gasoline and or water in it . They just blindly grab up a can of fuel and dump it in . Had a customer one time put diesel in a gas powered mower. Talk about smoking. Lol

I think people should be forced to watch videos like this!! I never have any issues with my small engines!! ALWAYS using Ethanol-FREE Shell V-Power Premium. I always add a 1/4 cup of Seafoam to my gallon of this gas too. Haven't had an Engine issue in.......30 years?! 😏🤓😊

Your power washer is too powerful for washing mowers, lower your pressure if you can.

With the EU (attempted) ban on ICE cars, the small engines are likely to follow. The good part is that if that happens there will be standards for all kinds battery powered equipment. Currently there are standards for the fuels, and the ethanol contents is limited at 5% (even lower for 98 octane version)

Why do you run the engine while using the pressure washer? Asking for a friend.

You're joking right? The mower wasn't running, it was the pressure washer running.
