    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.

    THANK YOU for this little video! While getting firewood at my vacation cabin, my well used Stihl was a little boggy. I never checked the arrester and wanted to but I didn't want to mess with those "clips." I wasn't sure how to remove them, I thought they were some kind of weird screw head. Next time i'm up there I can do it.

    Hah, I was just wondering about those. I would like to take the muffler off my Stihl and looked at the caps and wondered if they are some kind of weird new fasteners you need a special tool to remove and install and if there is a chance of failure to seal the muffler if I don't have the tool. Didn't know they are just caps. Thanks for the explanation!

    I am so grateful that you are posting videos.
    UA-cam is full of amateur DIY'ers posting similar repair videos, with little-to-no preparation and poor camera work.
    It's good to watch a professional on outdoor equipment servicing. Please don't stop.
    Occasional question and answer videos would be a nice addition.

    This is kind of important! If you don't know in advance that these are merely covering clips and not some special fastener, you might find yourself stuck in the field with a saw that's bogging down due to a clogged spark arrestor, and not know that you actually have all the tools on hand to fix it.

    I am interested for ms 251 or similar stihl chainsaw.
    Thank you in advance for your time.

    Hey Donny, have you worked on any of the Powersmart snow blowers, specifically the auger shafts?
    Very poor design, the shaft is 3 piece and where they come together you have two half circles on the ends and when they meet up it creates a full circle that the shear pins go through. I have one that got loose and the axle spun on the shear pins destroying the center shaft.

    1 more reason you ever see a mechanic that know it all. Run very fast the other way. They don't know shit. I watch this as 37+ years experienced retired diesel mechanic. I try learn something new daily & did all my 37+ years. Beats tearing parts up unnecessary over your own personal pride. Before You Tube & internet..Yes we did if we didn't have the right good proper maintenance manual to read beforehand. I got chainsaw just like that. I Suspect muffler screen is stopped up.
