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 UA-cam and the entire internet with over 1200 videos, just GOOGLE "DONYBOY73"!
I want "DON THE SMALL ENGINE DOCTOR" on UA-cam to save you time, frustration and most importantly, MONEY with my HOW-TO videos!

Great video! I watch so many small engine channels on UA-cam, but yours is definitely the best! Short and informative are the same two words I think each time I watch one of your videos!
The best small engine UA-camr hands down 👍
thanks buddy
With that smooth,calm voice you could be a teacher. Wait a minute! You are exactly that!
Thanks Don.
a lot of schools use my videos in their classes
whoever designed the tool to fit everything is a genius
Worked great on my MS 180 thanks. Used the nylon rope stop.
I have saved this video into my Stihl MS180 Maintenance Folder. Thank You, I hope you and your family is safe & healthy.
thanks Sean, you too
Definitely the BEST small engine videos! Careful details always pointed out by Donyboy. The “be careful” with the rope advice is priceless!!!
This guy seems to be very calm speaking while sharing his knowledge in all his videos, that's a very good attribute he has acquired for teaching. He should teach trade school, or night classes. I would tell the people while training them not to get a 'mental block' by being scare that you won't be able to learn it, that just lowers you confidence. Instead make learning fun and interesting, and if I can learn this job you can too. I don't own a chain saw and I was going to pass over this vid, but as I find out to remove and reinstall this clutch is basically the same as removing the starter clutch on a lawn mover but without the spark plug tool. Instead you use a starter clutch tool and most guy hold onto the blade to help loosen it (with the spark plug out of course). So, I learned something today from this video about chainsaws that I can relate to now. Thanks for that donyboy!
Snap ring pliers are good for retainer clips too . Thanks for the tutorial! Im procrastinating doing this but I have the parts
Donyboy,simply thank you ,can only attest what the rest has already said!
Thanks Don for the excellent step-by-step instructions on this. I own an MS180, and this will be a perfect reference guide for when the time comes. Many thanks!
Another good video Donny. All of your videos are very informative and helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. 😊
Very welcome
Great tip. Hope your wife is doing well!!
Thankyou so much. Have the stihl locking strip, but didn't know how to use it. 👍🇦🇺
It’s a good day when Dony uploads a new video
A very well done video! There are many UA-cam guys that should take lessons from your videos. I have an MS 271 chainsaw that needs some clutch work, you make it an easy task that will save me a trip to the Stihl dealer.
finally, someone not working on a dirty saw.
ALWAYS SUPERB! ALWAYS PROFESSIONAL! VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!!!
Thanks a lot. Very well explained.
Thanks for another great video. I've learned a lot from your videos over the past couple of years. You've given me the confidence to do my own 2 cycle repairs as well as a few for friends. Keep up the sharing.
Excellent presentations!!
Enjoy watching your videos. I’ve learnt heaps too. You’re not working on the space shuttle lol. 🦘🇦🇺
Great video Don. Very informative. A couple days ago I sent someone on another channel over to you on this very same thing. Nice timing on this video. Thank you. Have a great day Don.
I like your workshop and your work Donny
Extremely good precise analysis 😊
An excellent tutorial. Thanks heaps for taking the time to create it.
I remove clutches on all my Stihl saws the same way - I put a 3/4” deep well socket on my battery powered impact and put it in CW mode and spin the clutch off. To put it back on I put the impact in CCW mode, hand tighten the clutch on the crank and hit it a couple of times with the impact. I have piston stops but I never use them for a clutch. Stihl is now using a light blue grease on the worm gear and sprocket bearing, probably some kind of synthetic grease. I use whit lithium grease
A very helpful video.
Thanks.
Thank you for all your videos.....you should video more Rebuilds ... chainsaws and 4 cycle engines
Great video I enjoy watching
great video , this is the best I have seen for stihl chain saws, thanks
Great video Mate as alwais 👍. Have a good wekent.
Recently I did this procedure on my MS 201-CEM, pretty easy job. Installed 7 tooth sprocket, now my chainsaw will cut a little bit faster. :)
that's a nice saw
Hi 👋Don thanks for your video I hope you had a safe & happy thanksgiving 🦃 sir have a great 👍 day 😀😀
1200+ videos? wow. Way to go.
make sure you watch them all lol
very helpful thank you
Another great video!
A bit of string works fine for me.
Thank you
4:29 just a slight tap there eh
yes it happens
Thanks mate
As I often say, “we’re not going to the moon here” - Eric
I like the nylon rope idea as it's never going to damage the crown of the piston :-D
Maybe feed the rope in from it's center, so you have a short loop inside, not so easy to trap it in a port.
That metal plug tool should of had a rubber tip really, but i'm being picky lol.
Perfect! 👍
Box store saws now, get a echo and you’ll be happy 😃
Dony I would love to see you swap in a adjustable carburetor into the MS170/180. There are several videos showing it but they are all piss poor videos. I know you would do it justice and easy to follow along. I know its not your thing to do those kinds of mods for us but these saws could benefit by being able to use different fuel mixtures like my other saws do and a bump in performance. I love your videos your great at making them and I hope you consider doing a carb upgrade for us.
thankz don,another useful video,godbless
Glad it was helpful!
Great channel.
All methods are well explained even a novice could follow this guys instructions.
But don't use a piston stop tool.
Just holes my MS180 piston.
I tried an impact driver (without the piston stop but with the plug installed) to no value.
Just take off the starter cover and chock the flywheel, then hand tools to remove the clutch which has a left hand thread.
Nice video!!
Nice video, thanks ! When I put the sprocket cover back on it doesn’t spin as easily as you showed at 7:02, also the chain spins at idle. Do I need to replace clutch? The springs were not broken
Great video. Any idea why the clutch doesn't spin freely?
Nice👍🤘😁
Just subbed, Very helpful thank you! I recently got myself a 261c and i believe the worm gear has sheared off because theres not enough of it for the clutch drum groove to catch it. Noticed when doing pre start checks if there was oil, obviously no oil was coming out.
I did try the rope method but it was on extremely tight and i was afraid of damaging the crankshaft, is there a specific rachet you would recommend?
Terbaik
Just found your channel was using my new 170 and screwed it up chain is binding after it came off while cutting. Guessing I need a new chain and bar as it won’t turn on bar by hand
Have you engaged the Hand Brake prior to removing the clutch as it appears Hand Brake now in its forward engaged position?
Your patience and clarity in explaining this procedure are outstanding. You make disassembly and assembly of the MS180 so straightforward with your non-hurried filming and your clear narrative. Thank you so much! I do have a question for you please, Dony.
As I was changing the clutch drum on my Stihl MS180 over to a "rim sprocket" style of drum and sprocket; I noticed that the thin band which lives to the outside of the drum, seems to have come loose a bit, and when I attempt to the install the new drum over the spindle and roller bearing assembly, this metal band is prohibiting the drum from seating down over the clutch properly, AND making contact with the end piece of the oil pump assembly.
Has this metal band come loose somehow, or is it supposed to be in contact with the outer portion of the clutch drum? I don't recall that the band was in contact with the original clutch drum when I removed it.
Thank you again Dony for your chainsaw lessons, I am an avid subscriber!
make sure the brake handle wasn't pushed forward as this will make it impossible to install the drum
@@donyboy73 Ahhh, that's it! So that band acts on the drum then when the handle is pushed forward. That was the issue, Dony. Thank you so much for the tip. : >)
Excellent advice.. I had the same problem and added 30 minutes to the job! Glad I didn"t Break it! @@grayrider-1084
Hello Don. Would you recommend using this OEM piston stop tool from Sthil with a MS250 chainsaw? I don’t see a specific piston stop tool for Sthil chainsaws above MS 200. Thanks again for helping us to perform all these maintenance procedures on our small engine equipment. Looking forward to your answer.
😊👍
Hi Don, do you have a video on replacing the clutch springs??
not yet but i will
in the states, we call it left hand thread, do you call it opposite thread in Canada all the time?...great video as always Don
thanks
Hi, Dony, how can I noticed, that the clutch needs to be replaced? Does it slips like a clutch on a car ? I have a MS 640 a long time it cuts wey well, but I have never changed the clutch. Thanks.
If you wanted to replace the oil pump do you have to take off the clutch I assume?
So the nylon rope is now stuck in the chamber. Do you have a remedy for that?
Doesn’t that piston locking tool work in most every Stihl saw? Wouldn’t the spark hole be the same size?
iTunes is wonderful!
Pl make the vidio repairable stihl chain saw and very very thanks your vidio
From india very good vidio
I will try my best
Mr. Don , does the reverse thread for the clutch apply to all chainsaw brands . Thank you sir for your time . God bless you .
yes
@@donyboy73 Thank you dony , for taking the tlme to answer my question , it is much appreciated sir . I enjoy waching your videos , I learned a lot of stuff . God bless you .
@@gigiraymond9267 I hate to disagree with Don, but I have an old Solo (white in color, all metal) that has a right hand thread for the clutch. I found out when the clutch spun off during a test run when I first got the saw.
I bet even the space shuttle only gets "common sense tightened"
Great tip. I have the 180 easy start. Will it be the same? Thanks.
YES
my ms 170 have a starting cord stuck in the cylinder. When i came to remove that cord it got stucked inside the cylinder.What can i do to remove it Thanks
Hey Don, in my Zama carb rebuild kit, it comes with 2 of the same gaskets for the fuel pump side, one is plastic and one is rubber. What is the difference and what are the reasons for the 2?
plastic is better
Hello, I have an old Husqvarna 55 Air Injection and saw your video about it. Do you know when it was produced? I can't find something in the internet.
call husqvarna with your serial number
@@donyboy73 ok thank you
Is there a tool to get the clutch off? Repairing a MS311 and this dude is stuck something fierce! Looks like the person that owned it before has sorta stripped the nut a bit.
Do you sell/ship saw parts?
how you been don
very busy bill, thank you. heading into winter here
I couldn't take out my sprocket ms 180 it's very tight. Want solution plis

Do you think this procedure is the same on the Stihl MS 231 Chainsaw ?
yes
@@donyboy73 Thankyou 👍👌

@@donyboy73 okay thanks for your reply young man
Bigger hammer
Wait so who said it first? You or taryl? About it not being the space shuttle?
i've been saying it before he was ever online
@@donyboy73 haha that's awesome! Sir I have a real important question I cant get answered. In my zama rebuild kit it has 2 identical gaskets for the pump side of carb, one rubber and one plastic. What is the difference and what is the pros and cons of the 2??
@@JM-yx1lm the plastic pump is better
Haw to seat 170 carbretar taal me
I prefer the rope or plastic piston stop. The metal stop can and does punch a hole in the top of the piston. Many years ago, before I got started in this as a hobby, a Stihl dealer returned a chainsaw to me with a small circular hole in the middle of piston. It was in fact running when I gave it to them, but at the time I didn't know what they had done to it. I just took their word for it that it was going to be impossibly expensive to repair. They even charged me the $30 diagnostic fee for what they must have known was entirely their fault. They're good guys, but it does tarnish their reputation some.
Well thanks for fucking up my husband's chainsaw are you going to buy him a new 1??😊
Much bretter to watch your videos than Tyral fixes all. To much of all
i get straight to the point, no bs
Thank you
You're welcome
