My name is Bre. I took two years of small engine repair at the local college. When I left school, I fell into a wonderful job at a local small engine shop where I worked the counter for a couple years. In 2010 my husband and I opened up our own small engine shop in central Arkansas where I am able to work alongside my family and best friends. We saw over 2,000 pieces of small engine equipment every year, and answer 1,000's of small engine questions. We specialize in brands such as Briggs and Stratton, Kohler, Echo and Shindaiwa, but work everyday on MANY other brands like Stihl, Husqvarna, Honda, Craftsman, Remington, Red Max, Troy Bilt, Scag, Bad Boy, Hustler, World Lawn, Poulan, Mantis, Etc.. Hopefully, my experience I share, will save you Time, Money and Frustration in the future!

Congratulations to your niece for becoming a paramedic!

@goodday126 19 дней назад

While her accomplishment is fantastic, EMTs are not paramedics. Paramedic is a tier of education and evaluation that is years beyond the NREMT. She knows this. Hopefully one day she can do that.

Yea I know. I earned my NREMT-P in '82.

Fun story: I was rebuilding a ball valve and needed an o-ring kit. OEM was $80.00, but they made the mistake of releasing a part diagram listing the AS568 Standard numbers for the o-rings. I just called my local o-ring supplier and provided them with those numbers. They built me a kit in a few minutes, and it cost $4.00.

@alexmills1329 22 дня назад

Ahh yes the ‘mistake’ of using standard parts without custom SN’s. Wish that was a legal requirement instead of a screw up these days.

@williamcouch8707 23 дня назад

Your exactly right about Amazon carbs . Little did i know until i learnt the hard way Zama makes 2 different carbs for sthils . Yea they make the original carbs for still but also make a aftermarket carb that will fit Sthils . Big difference. You can find an original carb for sometimes 50 to 70 bucks the aftermarket one for $14 or so . When your aftermarket needs adjustments you can adjust properly. Spend your time and research before you jump the gun .

@stevenpeck5949 21 день назад

I agree with you 100%. Many of the products sold on the internet (Amazone/Ebay) and at big box stores are disappointing. I have a solution. When I need an item, I buy 5-10 from different vendors. Use the one that works and return the rest. So often even new items in a sealed box will be defective or missing parts. I use a credit card to buy the stuff, so I am not out of pocket for the cash. I almost always get the refunds before the bill is due. There is so much unusable product being sold. If everyone used my idea, at some point the distributers and suppliers will get the message that poor products will lose money.

Two years ago you recommended the Gooloo battery that was on sale. I bought two. Both charged up and quickly dropped to 70%. Emails to them just gave me stupid answers. One finally had a screen failure and I sent them a video. They sent me a new battery. Last week I checked both of them and the new one was at 90% and the older one was at 79%. Both sat in my living room for a year unused. I bought a knock off carb to replace my Nikki since I am too old with old fingers to rebuild mine. So far it works. I bought it from Walmart online so I had them to help with any replacements.

My last stand before I wind up having to go to electric screwdrivers as I'm aging like hell with Arthur kicking my old a$s! The ball end is awesome and ratcheting, I can palm it and use two fingers to turn the shaft easily. Makes things more easy for me. Cheers Miss Stank Gas! lol

@hobbyaddict9908 23 дня назад

Just what works for me; black Gorilla tape makes a decent patch for those torn/cracked seats. Not a permanent fix (I assume mine will fail at some time, it has only been 3 years) but much cheaper than replacing the seat (if one is available) and keeps the rain out of the seat. Your mileage may vary.

@tommysmith9847 23 дня назад

Another thing that will cause them to die when you engage the blades is having one dead cylinder. Its amazing that they still run smoothly with a dead cylinder, but they still do. Sometimes a bad coil, spark plug, or plug wire is all that's wrong.

Just a suggestion, don't know if it'll work but maybe try cleaning the plastic jet tube and lubing the larger O-rings with some oil or a little silicone grease, put a smear on the jet tube also and you might be able to get the jets in there. Also, get a small O-ring assortment that's compatible with today's fuel and the proper size O-rings might just be in it or maybe you can find out what size those O-rings are and get the right assortment that way.

@Ffitty 23 дня назад

So I am a full time riding mower mechanic. Couple things to note. 1. I find when working on the double barrel carbs taking all the linkages and tubes off before pulling the intake manifold bolts is easiest. 2. Oem carb rebuild kits are important, the aftermarket ones have very cheap quality gaskets and o-rings. Kawasaki makes those o-rings for a very minimal price (can’t actively remember the part number though). 3. If you pull the solenoid off the bottom of the bowl of the carburetor and then shake it around that helps get rid of the gas, and tapping the bowl the a screwdriver handle is the easiest and most mess free way to go about removing it. 4. The jets are different because the intake manifold lengths are different. If you look closely, one side is longer therefore have more loss of fuel as the air fuel mixture moves toward the motor.

Your show is very helpful Bren. I took a small engine repair class my 8th grade year in high school, but that was 1978-79. Been awhile. I’ve repaired/rebuilt a couple of lawn mowers or tillers since. Recently took apart my Husqvarna tiller carb and just gave it a once over, no repair kit, just scraped parts and made sure gas was good. Replaced everything and went from not starting to running well enough to use for a short time. I’ll need to overhaul the carb on both the tiller and Husky mower, as both run, but are low on power. Note: on the tiller carb. There’s a super-dooper small, pointed rubber piece at the end of a jet. You’ll never believe that I lost that rubber piece, for a short time, but then found it, AND, I was able to get it back on that jet. Not an easy task mind you, but I stayed with it and got it. Thanks again for the encouragement and saving us time, money, and frustration. Now to get to replacing the carb on my 2013 Suzuki DR-Z400 motorcycle.
