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 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, 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"!
I want "DON THE SMALL ENGINE DOCTOR" on RU-vid to save you time, frustration and most importantly, MONEY with my HOW-TO videos!

I purchased a new Champion 7500W Duel-Fuel Generator (model # 201040) in October 2021. The gen was exhibiting the same issue as shown in your video with one minor exception. It ran flawlessly at idle. However, when I applied a load, the gen would die out after about 15 seconds. It didn’t matter if it was running on gas or LP gas. The result was the same. I contacted technical support and the tech said it sounded like a bad Overvoltage Controller and he’d ship out a replacement ASAP. After receiving the replacement, I installed it and the same thing would happen. Since it was under warranty, I took it to the service center in Newark, NY for the tech to diagnose what was causing the engine to die out when a load was applied. The issue turned out to be two bad 120V AC 20A GFCI receptacles which, for some reason was causing the engine to die out. After the receptacles were swapped out with new ones, the generator runs great now. I enjoy watching your videos. I even watch them when the equipment you're working on is not relevant to me. I figure at some point watching your videos can be applied to help me diagnose/fix/repair power equipment in the future. Keep up the good work!

I have a 4.0 hp Champion on a trash pump. Very reliable machine. It quit running the other day and wouldn’t restart. I thought maybe it sucked some grit into the carb as it was low on fuel. I did a carb clean and still no go. Checked fuel filter, another carb clean and cleaned fuel tank. Still no go. Then it occurred to me this engine has a LOW OIL sensor. Checked oil and it was low. Added oil and engine fired right back up! Live and learn I guess! Thanks for your great channel!

2:10 ? One, (me) has to wonder, what were those 'engineers' thinking ? WHY not have an in-line filter, like the good 'ole days ? North America is FULL of non-working machines like this......so much for whatever happened to '' user friendly '' serviceable generators/mowers/tillers /etc. Or, at the very least, HAVE THIS FILTER, IN the machines MANUAL, under 'service' listing, in table of contents ? Thank-you, DonnyBoy, for NO BACKGROUND noise (music); and an easy to 'hear' gentle voice: non-intimidating for novice users......

Thanks, learned something worthwhile today Thanks to you. I would have blamed it on the coil at first guess. But a good plan would be like some one on here said All the petro should be run through a screened funnel that eliminates water as well as dirt.

I had an issue with my 8k Champion the other day, it would start and run fine with a light load, but after about 20 minutes or sooner with a heavy load it would bog down and die. Let it sit a few minutes and it would restart and do it again. I am running on propane, dual 40lb tanks, so I knew fuel wasn't an issue. Pulled the plug and it looked perfect, nice and tan, no signs of lean or rich burn. Decided to check the valve lash since I hadn't checked it in about 40hrs of run time, and I found the exhaust valve had basically zero lash and the intake had .001-.002". Set them to .008" on exhaust and .006" on intake, fired it up and it ran for 12hrs straight without a bobble. Looks like the exhaust valve lash was so tight that when it ran under load or for an extended time, it would expand until it wouldn't seat anymore and the engine would die from compression loss out the exhaust port. Pay close attention to your valve lash on these little engines, it's important.

@leslieking3974 Год назад
Interesting, I checked my gas shut off valve and saw gas flow right so it wasn’t blocking. Opened up the air filter box and removed the filter. Somehow it started and stayed running for 5-8 minutes before gas ran out. I added another few oz of gas and restarted. All good now. Thanks for the video and sharing what can cause the thing not running long.

Though the fuel filter was filthy, after cleaning it and the carburetor, and changing the oil, and cleaning the spark arrestor, and putting fresh gas, cleaning the air filter, unplugging the sensors, and trying the gas cap loosely on, it is still shuttng off after 5 seconds of running. But, it does sound and run smoother for that 5 seconds.... Any other thoughts? Or perhaps it's time for the pros?

I have a PG2300iS generator. It has 4 8mm head bolts. I was told that the head is supposed to be tightened down to 25 foot pounds. I’m wondering if that is in fact the right torque, or if it was supposed to be in inch pounds. The reason being is because I would have to use a 3/8ths to a 1/4in adapter on my torque wrench, and I’m wondering if the adapter would break, because the socket I’m using is an 8mm.
