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 see 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!

I was looking for a lightweight blower for my deck. ru-vid.comUgkxgioZQl3J5wPGAeDINzbieKbT5qomSEx3 There are some huge trees around my house and the leaves and pods drop all over my deck. Having to move furniture around to sweep has become too big a chore. This blower was the answer. It is light enough for this 70yr old lady and powerful enough to blow all the tree droppings off my rather large deck. Thank you B&D. Be aware the cord is not included. I use a 3 prong outdoor cord 25' cord for my 12' x 20' deck. The cord retainer works very well, but don't try to pass the plug through it. That is NOT how it works. You just have to loop the cord and it works great. One of my best purchases. Very happy.

@charlesfiore7835 Год назад

Silicone spray is your friend to remove and install plug wire boots and plug wire covers. It will also help with the plug terminal.

@504mitchm Год назад

I came to the comments to say this...

@obxkoastie8170 Год назад

I use a mixture of dawn and water to lubricate situations like this.

@philliphall5198 Год назад

Yep for sure

@Laser3303 Год назад

But it WON'T go away, making the connection between the boot and the wire 'slimy'.

@tedstankunas7142 Год назад

I work in a small engine repair shop, and I always use a little silicone spray to remove and install the spark plug boots when I'm replacing an ignition coil.

@ricktaylor3748 Год назад

Fire : If you have light yellowish fire, your engine "might:" start. You need brilliant blue spark for your engine to run right. Usually, a coil is like a light bulb, either it works or it don't. I disagree with any sparks is good spark. If your spark is jumping around from the edge of the plug to the electrode. That means the plug is fouled. The spark needs to be consistent. I had a Craftsman 6 hp. chainsaw, it would start all day long at home. When I took it up in the mountains, it wouldn't hit a lick. It would cut through ginormous logs like crazy. I ended up beating it to death with my 14 pound sledge hammer. I now have all Husqvarna saws. I have an XP 262, I bought new in 1993, it's never been to the repair shop. It still has the original NGK plug, I run 110 octane Sunoco gas with Mobile 1 synthetic 2 stroke oil. 35:1 mixing ratio, I gap my plugs at 28 on the feeler gauge. Btw, you're very attractive.😘

Hey, Chickanic. What an excellent video. Job well done, and I thank you so much. Now off to repair a few of these. Thank you.

@joem1326 28 дней назад

I just wanted to thank you for making this detailed video. I have an Echo PB-580T that’s 6 years old and just stopped running one day while I was using it. I purchased a genuine ignition coil from Echo online parts and tune up kit. I installed it per your video instructions and walla! It worked and runs great now. Thank you so much - you have a subscriber…

@billturnipseed9780 Год назад

I picked up an Echo blower that was set out beside the road with trash. Like the backpack blower, it would run about 10 minutes and die. Then it would not start again until it was completely cool. I put a new ignition module (coil) on it and it runs great. Watching your videos has given me more confidence in attempting repairs for myself. Thanks for sharing your videos.

@evilkidd174 Год назад

Working on a Hilti concrete saw today. Got it all buttoned up and was about to pull the starter rope and there it was. Laying on the bench, a random screw. Doubt and the where did that go had me tear it back apart. Coworker walks over and says, "Did a screw fly over here?". He bought lunch after I chased him out the door swinging a chainsaw chain at his head. Never a dull moment where I work.

@randyherriman2715 19 дней назад

Thank you - I did not know if I had registered the Echo PB-580T purchased from Home Depot by my wife as a Christmas present many years ago. The unit worked for years but I would have to power it back to keep it running. After the new ignition module (purchased off brand on Amazon with all the parts you had to reuse) the unit worked great for 15 minutes. Hopefully will run again once I let it cool off. Great instructional video. 😃😃😃😃😃

@christophermeyer6414 Год назад

I bought a $400 Stihl garden tiller that gets very little use. The coil crapped out just out of there two year warranty. Stihl told me "Too bad". I have been a loyal Stihl fan for 30 years! Now I'm telling Stihl, TO BAD! Echo is looking pretty good!

@donchristie420 Год назад

Except for the”let’s go Brandon people”

@jimbrewer2893 Год назад

Usually in this type failure, there's a very small break either in an internal winding or plug wire. When the coil heats, the break expands thus no spark. Cool down and the break closes. Nice video Bre.

@blkmoon33 Год назад

Dielectric grease works great as a lube for plug wires. Also makes it easier to take apart later.

@danielrobert7181 Год назад

With the added bonus that it is rubber-safe which ordinary petroleum based greases are not. You can also use synthetic brake grease as it is dielectric grease under disguise but sold dirt cheap. Regards !

@robertwilliams3983 Год назад

I also stretch the boot by inserting pliers & opening the handles in multiple directions then I use a little silicone lubricant when removing & reinstalling the spark plug boot. Then wipe off the excess after I put the boot on.

@markbuetow2351 Год назад

Great video, as always. I noticed that you were wearing snow pants. It must be in the 40's. down South. In WI we wear them when it gets to double digits below zero.

@clrd4tkoff Год назад

Awesome Video!👍🏻👍🏻Great Information!

@f.k.burnham8491 Год назад

I have had great luck using silicon dialectic compound to lube the inside of the insulating tubing. Hint: On the spark plug boots, put the silicon compound in a syringe and squirt it inside the easy way. I got some big ones from my local Dollar Tree, but feed stores and vets carry them also. I do grind off the sharp point on the syringe needle, as then I can't poke myself or poke through insulation. Chemtronics Z5 heatsink compound also works, but is spendy. One can also add a small piece of tubing on the syringe to get lube into tight places. I keep my dialectic heatsink compound for transistors in a syringe, as the tubes are prone to splitting too.

@kbjerke Год назад

I have only one Echo product, an ES210 Shred 'n' Vac, but it has been bullet proof for at least the last six or seven years. If I ever need another chainsaw, or other gas-powered unit, it will be an Echo! Thanks for the video, Bre!

@dondiego2262 Год назад

Don't know if you, or anyone, will read this but if you had run the spark plug wire back in place before you put the contactor and boot on to it it would be a lot easier to thread in and since you have to have the boot off I kind of think removing it first would help with the removal too. Just saying.

@badbob Год назад

Always love your vids. Even if they don’t pertains to me. Have helped me several times. Tnx.

@harveyband9843 Год назад

I have found that mild heat can help with plastic parts that don't want to come apart. A light application from an electric heat gun is sometimes magic.

@mattcosgrove8254 Год назад

Great channel, filled with helpful info! Just my two cents, the tank top is fine scenery!

@joeystratner1902 Год назад

I wish every woman was as good as you. You are like the complete opposite of over 50+ ladies I deal with on a daily basis. For whatever reason they don’t want to get their hands dirty and deal with service/maintenance and rely on their husbands/bf to do everything for them. Even then their men usually suck at fixing things most of the time. It’s very refreshing and gives me hope to see such a talented young lady do this line of work!!

@mattb9664 Год назад

If I remember right, the boot needs to be pushed down wire first so that the spring-seat can be dissected. All those little 'fixins' as I call them are kept off the assembly so that the ignition is more common across more models. Otherwise they'd all have to be unique and they cost another $20-$30 (or more), and take up even more inventory.

@Mechanicturfgear Год назад

Silicone spray the boot and wire to lube for easy sliding

@ronanderson1816 Год назад

Thank you for replying to my Amzoil Sabre post. I have tried the recommended ratio of 50//1 however, the machine smoked more, with more carbon build up. Were you aware that most 2 cycle non synthetic oils have "fillers"non lubing chemicals in them that require a higher ratio of oil to gas in them? Please consider checking out the Lubrology reports. I observed this by checking out the exhaust screen and eventually eliminated the exhaust screen.. No, I am not a sponsor, but found what works for me at less cost. I appreciate your videros' time and info.

@bobmartin9518 Год назад

I would suggest using Dielectric grease at least for the ease of sliding the boot on as it is conductive where regular lube can insulate the electrical connection and is great to use with any electrical connection as it keeps moisture from corroding the connection. Great videos enjoy them all. Happy Thanksgiving.

@jeremiahlf Год назад

Many people seem to think dielectric grease is conductive. It says right on the tube that it is actually not conductive at all.

@bobmartin9518 Год назад

@@jeremiahlf you are correct. Dielectric means it does not conduct the flow of electricity. Most are silicone based. They protect electrical connectors from corrosion, moisture, and dirt and are a lubricant. You are correct. I stand corrected

@jayyambrovich3740 Год назад

Use glass cleaner to "lube" that vinyl tube so it slips over the spark plug wire more easily. Maybe wait to put the spark plug boot back on until you've threaded it back up past the cylinder?

@kendavis1198 Год назад

Hey, CHICK, Get or Use some DiElectric Grease on the BOOT. Good for both Moisture, and Slippage.

@jimfromstem9506 Год назад

when i was in the army ,we would take a random bolt to a sgt and tell him we did not know where it went.very funny to us.also,lube everything.

@jerrysoutherland662 Год назад

Bre I use Dawn dish soap to get the boot on and off.

@64paintboy Год назад

I use a heat gun to soften the rubber a little. Really helps.

@delseckora5327 Год назад

Pocket screwdriver in between the boot and wire and then spray it with WD-40 or similar lubricant. Lube always helos.

@JH1200A1 Год назад

Carb and choke cleaner to remove and install those boots. Use a straight pick to get in between the boot and wire then use the straw on the carb cleaner. You got to be quick going back on but when it dries, it's stuck. Not coming off.

@John-NeverStopLearning Год назад

To get the protective cover on the spark plug wire, find a metal rod that slides into the cover and straightens out the cover, use lube and slide the wire in while removing the rod. Modify a pair of pliers to hold the spring wire and the plug wire to squeeze the 2 together.

@lordnerfgun 9 месяцев назад

You can use a drop of dawn dish detergent to remove a boot plug. Works every time!

@WhiskeyGulf71 Год назад

Next time used compressed air to get the cable through the sheath, blow it down the tube whilst pushing it through. This method is also great for installing & uninstalling handle bar grips. Also my spark tester is my finger ! If i feel a pulse then i have spark.

@robertmceuen3630 Год назад

Got a stihl "farm boss" chainsaw. Thing is a brute to start(I'm70) so I'm kind of intimidated by it. It sat for months while I looked at it in my garage. Finally I needed it, so I grabbed it and pulled. Stated in 2 pulls! Appreciate any videos you have about them. Thanks.

The blower bogs down when the trigger is squeezed. I want to fix it myself but I don't know where to start

@maryleatucker5232 Год назад

Heat the outer part you're trying to put on or take off. It will expand to make the process easier. A hair dryer should work.

@markbuetow2351 Год назад

Milwaukee M18 heat guns work awesome.

@bladewiper Год назад

Coils don't always fail outright. I had a Shindaiwa 488 that would not rev up, everything else tested good. replaced the coil and it worked perfect.

@tagreen9790 Год назад

Sometimes, a little heat placed in the right spot helps, it makes the rubber and plastic malleable, which in turn will make your job easier, keep up the good work!!!!

@davidwilcox9110 Год назад

Thank you for the little tips, like having the magnet on the crank out of the way when installing the coil.

A dim light came on in my memory bank and lo and behold, I recalled one of your videos where you addressed the same problem. I was able to fix the issue and not have to take the tool to a shop and be without it for a week or two. Thank you….

@don1857 Год назад

Very timely video, my dependable old Stilh back pack blower (almost 30 years old) started to have this problem just recently. New coil ordered. My backup Echo is still running after 20 or so years! A little routine maintenance really pays off in the long run.

@mattb9664 Год назад

My SRM230 needed a new coil after about 13 years of use. I maintain my equipment and start it once in the middle of winter usually, and put it away with Stabil along with mixing Stabil in anyway as soon as I buy the 93 Octane fuel. It was completely dead though, and had only an intermittent 'dull' spark. That was a fun little repair, but I fixed it perfectly.

@delseckora5327 Год назад

Great job Bre.

@nigeltaylor58 Год назад

Hi, I have a Stihl FS55 which refuses to idle when hot or in warm weather, however no problem in cold weather. I decided to have this Brushcutter serviced and have just received a phone call from service centre informing me that I need a replacement Stihl carburettor due to an air leak within the carburettor. I’ve agreed to a Stihl replacement carburettor due to the Chinese built carburettors not being built to last. Here in U.K. we rate Chinese built goods as cheap and not great. With regards to 2 stroke mix oil I use Stihl HP without problems and certainly wouldn’t use Stihl HP Ultra. Also in UK we can only get 5% or 10% Ethanol gasoline at the pumps and I use 5% and add Ethanol shield. I never leave fuel in my Stihl power tools and always run them till they stop when out of fuel. This is advice by UK Stihl service centres.

@ronniecb112868 Год назад

@michaelmaker8169 Год назад

I was just working on a blower at work other day. First thought what would Chickanic do? Started with fuel, straight gas 🤯, scratch piston, maybe, compression ok, spark has it. Mechanic at work said plug maybe fouled thou it has spark. Tried to grab another from the pile of broken machines. It would pop off. Was wondering about coil now I find this video. Thank you 👍👍👍👍👍🤯 Maybe a fish wire to pull all those wires through. A 12 guage copper wire, flexible.

@johnbelliveau4704 Год назад

Well here goes nothing'. Been watching your Tru-fuel videos and am about to switch to echo red amour 50:1. I have a Ryobi RY09056 and noticed it's bogging down. Will try a tank full of the Echo and see if it helps before going deeper in. I'll let you know how I make out, fingers crossed! Thanks for all you do.

@workbenchz Год назад

Love the business card as a spacing gauge hack. A woodworker's awl will make the hole in the plug wire insulation easily, and can be used to ream out the 'jinky' bits of the clear sleeve with the help of a hairdryer or heat-gun on low. Crimp connections or cold solder joints between the winding wires and the leads (plug wire, ground, kill) inside the laminate/ignition-pack can fatigue from repeated cycles of heat/cool leading to an open connection after it warms up and once the heat 'soaks in'.

@chrisforker7487 Год назад

Great tutorial! Thank you!

@ignusa749 3 месяца назад

to remove the sleave try a bit of silicone spray first. and same on the boot assy. then silicone dielectric grease on the new spark plug wire, and boot.

@richardbailey8701 Год назад

@davidhallman4011 Год назад

I've seen another shop tutorial use a few drops of dish washing soap and the plug boot slid right off with almost 0 effort. I use a light penetrating oil, usually clear silicone. I agree though. What do companies save by not providing all these items, .30? For the folks having to buy outside of a warranty, and original part should have ALL the pieces as installed from the factory! Love your vids BTW!

@billvakras8272 Год назад

To remove the cover from the spark plug cable I spray wd4 lifting the tip of the boot with a thin screwdriver. I do the same after installing the new cable. This makes the process much easier. I do the same for the placement of the outer tube

@steveseifertsr.8120 Год назад

When replacing the sheath on the new coil wire use some Dawn dish washing liquid to provide a bit of lubrication.

@Peter_Riis_DK Год назад

So, a leaf blower is a she. Good to know. 😊 Top tip - when lubing wires and flex tubing use silicone based stuff; some mineral and synthetic oils or greases dissolve plastics - especially nylon - and rubber.
