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.

@donyboy73.un extraordinario video!! Gracias por compartir!
@@breannaoliver6316 Gracias amigo!
Donny provides consistent excellence on small engines. He is number one in my book and the go to person on small engine issues. I also really like Steve's small engine saloon, and individualized repair. What's amazing to me is how each of these guys, Almost always, diagnose and solve problems the exact same way. Another most excellent repair AND advice! 👍👍👍
Excellent replacement of the carburetor on that John Deere D170 Dony. May I ask how many hours labor for a job like that? I was extremely surprised the oem carburetor was actually made in the USA. 👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for the props Frank! Could be because Dony and I have both been in the industry for over 30 years. Lots of hands on experience...
@@StevesSmallEngineSaloon Steve I watch a lot of these repair videos and I can't tell you how many impostors there are out there. Guys that simply don't know what they're doing.Trying to make a few bucks on youtube. And then you have the narrators who don't do any work at all but simply talk while they film a chinese repairment working on an engine. There's so much fake news in filthy fakake media out there even on UA-cam.That one has to be very careful who they listen to and watch. Keep up the great work, As you guys are fantastic!!! 👍👍👍 P.S. Watch how the filthy fake news media tries to cover up that the democrats attempted to assassinate president trump in the filthy and rotten corrupt state of pennsylvania...
Never knew that you closed the choke when running it out of fuel for storage. Great video, thanks.
Like the Briggs V-Twin engines. I have one on my personal machine. Only issue I’ve had is the valve guides have a tendency to move in the heads which can lead to the push rods coming off into the crank case. If you maintain them properly though they will run forever.
Valve guides moving is normally because of overheating. Overheating normally due to blocked cooling fins and dirty top engine. Blocked cooling fins and dirty top of engine because the engine shroud has not been removed and checked from lack of maintenance. So Briggs is not at fault, the owner or repair shop is for neglecting maintenance.
I’ve been using a fuel stabilizer in my John Deere X300 since 2010 when I put it away in the winter and have never had a problem starting it in the spring. When you use a shut off, there will still be some fuel left in the bowl that can go bad. Here in Canada all fuels have the same percentage of ethanol where over a year ago only premium was ethanol free. My machine runs fine on 87 so I use it, plus it’s cheaper. BUT I’m also using Ethanol Shield from Home Depot in my small engine machines fuel jug to combat the water that can form from using ethanol fuel.
Guess you never figured out to run the engine out of fuel after closing the valve... Stop with the mechanic in a bottle... same result. Now what?
Good job thanks for showing us. I know you do what the customer wants, but I would have told them to replace the intake O-rings, to guarantee the job, a leaking 1would cause it to run bad.
Sing Smooth Operator by Sade but change the word Operator with Carburetor and your work efficiency will increase by 30% on Carb jobs.
Thankyou great stuff!
Off topic but I was watching the lawn boy carb clean video from 13 years ago. It looked like you were videoing with a camcorder. No hate it actually helped me out. I just picked up 8 lawn boys to get running.
Thank you Donny! Nice clear video as always.
I'm just stunned how few people realize the importance of good "Carb Care"!! Meaning.....
* ALWAYS use Top-Tier Certified Ethanol-FREE Premium whenever possible.
* SHELL V-power Premium is a very good one!
* My fave Fuel-stabilizer is Seafoam. I've bought a lot of it over the years.
* I add it to our Cars' fuel AND Oil before an O/C.
* I leave fuel IN the tank/Carbs during storage. I add extra SF to about a 1/3 full tank, run for 5mins, then shut it off for the winter months.
* Have never had an issue with dried-out gaskets, etc.
"Let it roll Donny....down the Highway"!! BTO baby! 🎤🎸🥁🎼🎙📻
Note the cover bolts , have different length ,you will make a deep groove in the flywheel
I always look forward to Donyboy Friday lesson
Great video. I like that you always cover the small details.
Another great repair Dony! Btw, that's the only time the Nikki's are any good......new outta' the box! If I'm not mistaken, those are the replacements for the Walbro's on certain Briggs engines, at least down here in the South anyway. From Sophia, N.C., USA
I like watching your videos . . . .you explain everything so well.
Awesome fix Don ! Fuel shut off is a great idea I think as well
Great video as always! I'm going to install a fuel shut off on my JD tractor as well. It does have a shut off but it's under the seat by the tank so the line stays full and it takes a while to run it dry. Thanks Don!
One thing I have started doing is to draw, somewhere near the gas valve an illustration of off and on. There is nothing worse than getting a call that the engine won't start and the issue is that the gas valve is still in the off position.
Great video Donny!
Just did this on my LX277, new oem carb was like $280.00 MeriKan. Took the old carb off and tried cleaning it, but somebody was in it before me and stripped the threads that the main jet and emulsion tube screw into carb with; not the heads on the jets themselves and when I put it back together, apparently the main jet, although bottomed out, wasn't installed all the way and the carb wouldn't pick up any gas from the bowl. Couldn't rebuild the old carb because of the damage. Now the thing runs like new.
TY for Sharing
Good one. A lot of good close ups. Thank you.
Just an fyi about ethanol in Ontario anyway: when you could get “no ethanol” gas it was only 91 grade - surprisingly premium had up to 10%. And only Shell, PetroCan and Canadian Tire. This was last year and I checked with all of them (through customer service) about the availability. This year looks like even those three chains will no longer carry ethanol free fuel.
That's what I thought would happen!
Great video as always I have the same engine.
I just did this job on my 30-year-old John Deere 325 not an easy job
@ 4:22 an alternative to E-Torx socket would be a 4mm socket !!works amazing!!
Good show.
My buddy has one of these Vtwins with that crazy carb/manifold set up, it was surging. I foolishly took the carb bowl off without removing that crazy plastic manifold, regretted that decision. Took a few attempt to get it assembled correctly. I was afraid of touching that cheesy plastic manifold and having it warp and never seal properly...Didn't realize it has orings instead of gaskets, that makes a big difference.
So many people seem to be replacing dirty carbs with the cheap amazon "fits all replacement carbs", this is a mistake. That stuff is "inexpensive" for a reason, probably isn't gonna fit or work right, and the gas chews em up pretty quick. Most carbs carbs be easily cleaned, except for this crazy set up. So, if you choose to replace the carburetor, it is best to spend the big bucks and use the exact OEM replacement.
Excellent detailed video
Double barrel Nikki carburetor, know them well. Just cleaned one today.
If you can afford a J D tractor you can a oem carb replacement ! Well done sir have a great weekend !
Good job as always Don. Thank you!
Always excellent. Thanks.
Sounded almost exactly like my Briggs this spring. Mowed lawn, sounded and worked 90% better under load then I think it cleared up to 100% going down hill hitting a bumpy spot in the lawn. I got lucky I think. New engine though. Bottom line is gas.
always helpful
Thank you for the video
No sense i swapped out carburetors on it Kohler command cv15s its doing ok surprisingly does have a surge i can fix it later or leave it how it is probably will widen it later on.
I will be working on my yardman riding mower soon i gotta raise its deck engagement lever back about 2 in a half inches or to 3 because its original blade engagement cable is discontinued and the ones they do sale are all that much to short for my mower and for anyone else's 2014 yardman thats the best i can do for it unless i make my own cable
Been there done that great video as usual👍
Great Video, as always 👍
Great Video as usual!
Great video Don.
Thanks, have a great weekend!
Fuel shut is the safest way of protecting all your equipment over long periods. Gas wouldn't fill the oil over long periods can't always count on the solenoid.
Great vid, Don!!
Have you ever run into problems with those plastic fuel shut-off valves?
I have found them to leak over time, but that was with gravity-fed delivery systems. Not ones with fuel pumps like on that Briggs.
(Meaning that the valve would be empty during storage.).
Very difficult to find quality ones.
good video
And what was wrong with the carburetor? 16:37 Addressed the subject.
Nice! :)
That engine is surging like a race horse in heat! You don't want to get a clog in your idle jet, ya aint having happy fun times like that. I always found getting those Briggs twin-berrel carbs harder to get off the engine, plus I hated those bowl screws instead of bolts. Just hold the end of the intake horn to your mouth, and then say, reeekolaaa! That carb throat looks like a set of binoculars don't it? lol I call that the reach around choker. Good job on this one, these Niki's can be tricky, yes I say their tricky, as in they annoy the hell outta me, their tricky, their tricky. Lining up holes could be a Saturday activity, but for Briggs, its a lifetime commitment.
I would have invested in a can of seafoam first.
I love briggs because when you get a new carb they include the new gasket . Other brands are suck because they not include any new gasket and sell then like is made out of gold . Like honda .
Im gonna measure how short the replacement cable is for my model and these aftermarket is the same part number for the oem that has been discontinued this problem has to be why no one else is still using the old yardman riding mower's they hadn't figured out how to solve the engagement cable breaking problem but i did after i knock out that problem I've got to level the pulley belt guide bracket. Then after that work on the Kohler command 22 to settle its none charging problem
HAHAHAH Thanks Don. You are working on a Mower while someone else in the Background was cutting Grass.
Is there a reason You removed the top cover bolts when all You had to do was loosen them ??
Mike M.
I've never ran premium in my D130, always 89 octane but I also always add STA-BIL when I fill the can. Over 10 years and haven't had an issue. (immediate start from cold and smooth at idle) Is there still an advantage to premium over my method?
It might be worth trying a kit or Chinese carburetor on there.
Great video!
I have a 42" Husqvarna YT42LS with a Kohler 22hp V-Twin engine. I've always wanted to install an in-line fuel shut valve for the same reasons you mentioned in your video, but I don't know what the fuel line diameter is. Are they usually standard across brands? And what brand valve would you recommend? Thanks!
They 1/4" I.D. which is standard on almost all lawn tractors. I prefer the Oregon or Stens as they don't leak like the cheap Amazon ones.
@donyboy73 thank you. Very much appreciated!
How many people actually mow in the dark? Makes me wonder why they put headlights on them.
I have several times.
Oh, Deere!!
I have a 60's McLane edger with a 1 1/2 horse Briggs and Straitton motor. The points and condenser have been removed. With all the different coils out there, no one can tell me which to buy. The coil on it worked until now and has a weak spark. There are the 2 ends against the flywheel and a center round piece of metal on the coil. Is there to recharge the magnets and what would be the coil to buy to replace the coil on it? Thanks for your time.Have a nice day.
Would be helpful to have the actual engine model number and serial.
Hi Don, would this process apply to a JD S120? V twin B&S? Another great lesson. Thank you!
it's pretty well the same
@@donyboy73 Thanks. Be well.
There is a Deere at work that is always leaking oil. New filter and oil, drain is snug, running smooth too. Could it be an O ring or washer on the oil drain ?
Yes it’s a common place for it to leak
Take a 15/16 open end wrench and tighten it up snug 😊
And check it every oil change from now on and the other engines also 😊
I don't think any other repair channel comes close to Donny's expertise in camera work, and detailed concise explanation of the work at hand. Very much appreciated. Awesome video Don!!!
another grest video !
Did you or the customer take apart the carb to see what the problem was? Just curious.
yes, very gummed up and corroded. the machine had been sitting for years
Don, does that carb cost over $300 USD ?
Dam that is crazy high price up there 😢😢😢
Going by the part number he showed (796997), it's $200 (US), from the Briggs and Stratton site.
Canadian not USD
What causes this or why does this happen ...
Got a question for you regarding lubrication of the spindles on any riding lawn mower. Mine is a JD130. Is it really necessary to inject grease into the entire spindle shaft OR can one simply pop out the bearings, lubricate and re-install? Is grease actually necessary for the spindle shaft? Yes, this is a hot topic on UA-cam about greasing the bearings through the zerk througb the shaft. The ultimate target of the grease is lubrication of the bearings. So, does it do anything for tbe shaft? Fair question. Keep pumping out those videos. Your channel is probably the best. Thanks. 🇨🇦🍻
The grease might eventually get through the sealed bearings but I wouldn't count on it. I replace spindles with grease in them and the bearings are shot. The best way it to take the seals off the bearings and then the grease will get in after when you grease through fitting.
